A few years ago—actually, let's say a short decade ago—all of these tricks could have been saved for a video part! But style-for-Miles Silvas recently unleashed some friendly fury at Union Square in San Francisco, putting a serious beating on this heavily-skated spot like it was just another day.
It's funny. The skate-stoppers on top of the three-block have honestly only made this spot better for skaters like Miles, but still, the fakie flip? What! Nollie backside flip? Fakie 360 flip? The dude is seriously on a sick one here. Next level!

I really love the kickflip back tail...the lofty fakie flip that follows. But really, the proper flick and way he locks in is just too good—he's sailing on that BSTS. Couldn't have been better. All cozy in that green puffer jacket no less. Must be nice!
Cool and calm throughout, he's just casually smiling and even laughing during some of these tricks, but damn...this is no laughing matter. If this is the type of stuff he's happily feeding us on Instagram, I can't imagine what he has saved in his arsenal right now.
The comments share all my opinions and more, which is no surprise. Miles is universally respected and there's no denying his natural talent and style that is always so easy on the eyes. Precise, but not robotic. Fluid, but not too loose and wavy—he just has his tricks dialed and oozes confidence every time he steps on his board.
Always on point, always making the tough stuff look way too easy, there aren't many other skaters out there doing it like Miles. He's a real one, and always someone to keep an eye on.
