I was just watching some old vids of his and it is ridiculous how good he was. His first two minivids (made what, '02?) have tricks in them that would be crazy if someone did them right now, and scootering has come a long way since his time. Who else can crook a box that clean right now? or whip to feeble to rotorwhip (or barpinwhip, whichever)? I can't think of anyone (I'm sure I'll be corrected on this but oh well), and he was doing this stuff three or more years ago, before I could even doublewhip. His skill, even without figuring in when he was using it, makes him one the best riders around, even today, when his videos are 3 years old, but not stale yet.

If you dont know who he is...stay out of this Thread... Silas was a technical God in scootering..With one of the cleanest most inovative styles every on a scooter. One word can describe him, and its Amazing. And haha Silas and Al never really locked there scooters, they had so many that they never really needed to...and it sure as hell didnt affect his riding.

i wish hed come back. he was a NUT. back in the day when i couldnt fingerwhip at all he had them flat and up curbs. he had alot of style and yes that crook is still amazing to me. his supermans flat had soo much style. when i first started he, along with kama kazzy crew, were my only inspiration in riding. hhaah ive had his 2 minis for like 3 years now

haha that crook was insane... And SOMEHOW I forgot about those superman dg flat... When I started out (and still is) Terry was my inspiration. I remember posting on the old SR "Has a flipwhip been done?" and someone told me to go a few pages back in the videos to see it. As soon as I saw it I realolized that thats what I wanted to be. A pro scooter rider just like Terrence.

That whip late bar was one of the first to be done, along with the flat fingerwhips in his run, and the barspin manual to barspin out...all in a line..When this vid first came out, everyone was jes jaw dropped, and shocked. Haha his tailwhip rewind down the five brought a whole new style to that trick, and not to mention the trick at the end...Barspin to manual to fingerwhip out over a 3...a trick still not being done by to many out there.
