SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Thrasher Magazine's 2023 Skater of the Year is Sacramento's Miles Silvas.
The professional skateboarder from the capital city was up against several other skaters for the honors, including skateboarding legend and icon Tony Hawk.
According to an interview Silvas did with Thrasher Magazine, Silvas left Sacramento for the Bay Area last year, but he still has love for his hometown.
"I was at a point where I needed a scenery swap and just some new energy. I’d been in Sacramento for so long and I’ll always love Sacramento, but there’s not too much to skate during the week besides the skatepark. You gotta be a weekend warrior out there, or just mission to The Bay, do weekend trips to LA or go on trips," Silvas told Thrasher in a December interview.
A clip of Silvas' skateboarding talent can be found on Thrasher's YouTube page here.
