Silas Baxter-Neal was voted Thrasher Magazine's Skater of the Year in 2008 largely on the strength of his video part for Habitat skateboards' "Inhabitants" video that debuted that year. Since then, Baxter-Neal has kept things rolling with more coverage and video parts, most recently with a standout ender in Habitat's 2010 video, "Origin." Shortly after finishing his part in "Origin," Baxter-Neal went to work on filming for his X Games Real Street part. The result is something to see. And Baxter-Neal isn't stopping there, either.
You just had a double part come out in Habitat's "Origin" video not too long ago. Then you had this insane Real Street part and I spoke to Vern Laird (Bones Swiss Team Manager) and he said you gave him a solid minute of footage for the Swiss video. How do you do it?
It's always kind of different. I do go on a lot of trips and if I sit around my house for too long I tend to get bored so I want to go back on a trip. I also have a good relationship with the Habitat filmer, so I go out with him a lot. But Real Street was kind of a project. When I got invited into it, I didn't have anything else to film for so I made it my project and just went for it. And the stuff that I gave to Vern was accumulated along the way or stuff that didn't really fit in my Real Street part. It was tough because it had to be narrowed down to a minute of footage.
Heading into next week's X Games 17 Skateboard Street comp, one young skater has proven he's the man to beat. Nyjah Huston is still buzzing from his historic 2011 Street League three-peat, and he's determined to carry that momentum straight to the top of what he considers the most important contest of the year.
"If I could chose any contest to win, it would be X Games for sure," the 16-year-old told ESPN recently. "A gold medal would be really good for my career. It's a big goal for me right now, and I'm definitely going to go out there and give it my all."
Like the old saying goes, "You gotta want it." And Huston certainly has that focus in his favor right now. But he knows he's going to need it.
Joey Brezinski inquired about how he could get into the X Games Real Street contest just after the initial contestants had already been chosen. Enthusiastically, he boasted of having an entire part already filmed that could be edited by renowned skate filmmaker, Fred Mortagne. Unfortunately, the spots were all full for the 2011 comp but Brezinski was assured he'd be the first alternate if anyone dropped out or got injured filming for the contest.
Unfortunately for someone else, there was an injury that sidelined a skater in the original 16. Fortunately for us, Brezinski was ready and willing rise to the occasion.
You weren't supposed to be in Real Street right?
No, they called me I think four days before the footage was supposed to be turned in.

We kick things off this week with Cliché and Lakai's Daniel Espinoza, a pretty amazing stylish technician. Check out this outstanding edit of Espinoza filmed and cut by French Fred Mortagne here.
In further Cliché news the team, including Espinoza, JB Gillet, Flo Mirtain, Jeremie Daclin, Ricardo Fonseca, Charles Collet and Javier Mendizabal hit the road in Germany and Israel coming home with two stacks of footage.
Jerry Hsu's new Emerica shoe has arrived with Hsu giving you a glimpse of some park footage and classic Jerry humor here.

Today's the day. Our boy Andrew Cannon just dropped a fantastic full-length video part. Filmed over the last eight months or so, Cannon's part takes up from the ditches of Arizona to the Streets of California and the marble paradise that is mainland China. Cannon has really come into his own as a skateboarder with a unique bag of tricks that he weaves together into creative, technical lines. Those of us that know him well have known for some time the depth of Cannon's skills on board; this part, for World Industries, really demonstrates to the rest of the world what he's capable of.

Andrew Cannon has been skating and filming at a fevered pace for the past year in anticipation of his new, full-length video part (the part drops tomorrow on the World Industries site and right here on ESPN Skateboarding). Between corresponding for us here at ESPN, doing announcing gigs for events like Street League and Dew Tour as well as handling all the touring, autograph signing and demo skating that comes with being a well-known pro, it's a wonder Cannon gets time to skate at all. Rest assured though, skating is Cannon's number one priority; he makes time to roll above all else. I got a preview glimpse of Cannon's new video part and, let me tell you, it's damn good. It's his best part yet. I take comfort knowing there are people like Cannon who recognize that a line of tricks (and by a line I mean three or more tricks strung together) is a beautiful thing.
I'm backing Cannon and I'm backing his new part. But, rather than bore you with my opinions, we decided to go to the source and have Andrew Cannon, ESPN Correspondent interview Andrew Cannon, Professional Skateboarder. The result is something you won't want to miss. Full video interview after the jump »

The X Games Real Street Fan Favorite contest has come down to the final two videos. With less than a week until X Games, Billy Marks and Brandon Westgate are the two pro video parts still standing. Each video has its own style and its own merits. Watch, watch again and vote for the ultimate Fan Favorite decision. Fan Favorite will be announced by Chris Pastras and Tony Hawk on July 30 live at the X Games. All Real Street videos will air on ABC television that same day from 4:00-4:30 Eastern and the overall winner taking home $50,000 and X Games gold will be announced then as well. So re-watch all the videos and don't forget to make your final vote for Fan Favorite.
The third stop of Street League 2011 held an eerie sense of déjà vu for some. Nyjah Huston replicated his win in Arizona just as he began his Street League career there with a win in Glendale in 2010. This win marks three for three for Huston at Street League in 2011. The 16-year-old skateboarding phenomenon has earned a record $450,000 in first place contest winnings from Street League in the past three months alone. Will he hang on for a final big win at the Street League Championships in Newark, New Jersey in August? Time will tell. For now, kick back to watch and rewatch the full rebroadcast of the contest hosted by Sal Masekela, Felix Arguelles and Rob Dyrdek right here.
Nyjah Huston won his third Street League in a row at the Glendale, Ariz., stop, which took place this weekend. Ryan Sheckler came in a close second. "[Sheckler] definitely gave me some great competition," Huston said. "He's an awesome skater."
Chris Cole won the best trick of the contest -- a 360 flip to 50-50 on the hubba ledge -- and finished third.
In the tech section, skaters are given seven tries to perform their best trick. After flailing on a kickflip back Smith on the kinked rail, Huston regrouped and did a kickflip backside lipslide. Cole stomped a backside 360 lipslide on the same kinked rail, and Luan Oliveira, who ended up seventh, came through with a slew of technical tricks like a switch tailslide switch heelflip out on the ledge. Fourth place Paul Rodriguez squeaked his way into the line section with a switch backside tailslide switch heel to regular. Eric Koston and Chaz Ortiz were eliminated in the tech section.
Can Nyjah Huston be stopped? He continued his killing spree here at the Jobing Arena in Glendale, Ariz., and qualified in first for the finals tomorrow at Street League Stop 3.
This course is by far the gnarliest course in Street League history. The rails in the tech section are long and have kinks on them, the ledges are six inches taller than the norm and the hubba ledge is chest high at the top. When I talked to Sean Malto, who qualified in second today, he said, "I was slamming a lot in practice, but you just have to figure it out. With this course you're going to take some bigger slams, but you'll get bigger scores for the tricks you land."
