There was a palace ad listing people they turned down and one referred to miles silvas but I can’t remember what the bullet point was. I think it was
‘The boring American guy whose name I can’t remember, maybe mason’
Or something like that- can’t quite pull it from the memory banks. I think it referenced his current sponsor which narrowed it down alot
Yeah that was it, definitely when he was on Numbers so a lot later than that Solo interview which was 2016
Such smug condescending arrogance from some folks about that Miles Silvas interview.
So he was 20 when he had that Solo interview, had recently quit his first and only board sponsor Organika and came out with this
What would you say if the Palace guys reach out for you after the video?
Uhm… I don’t know… I would be psyched… I have some friends over at Palace. I go on a lot of adidas trips with Chewy Cannon and Benny Fairfax. Also we skate together for Wayward Wheels. Those are the homies. I wear a lot of their clothes anyway because they do a lot of collabs with adidas. I would be hyped to ride for Palace cause I think it’s pretty sick. I don’t know… I really don’t know who else honestly. I mean if they wanna hit me up. I don’t know what their situation is though.
Now if that reads like begging, you need your head examined.
Remind yourself how you got your current job. Was it just parachuted down to you? Or did you, y’know, learn the appropriate skills and then go looking for a job? You don’t ask, you don’t get, and ending up on any company or getting a job is as much about a crew of friends or a network who will vouch for you.
U ok hun? 
To be honest if you even hint at any level of aspiration to be on Palace, you’re probably not getting on Palace.
Maybe if you’re a grom from London on a fast come-up, but not a grown adult with any sense of your own identity.
Haha chill out - didn’t know Miles was your best mate! 
I’m of same opinion as @ciaran
Total non story the Palace thing
Yeah, yeah, fair enough. Can’t say I’m the biggest fan of the guy at all, just I don’t like gatekeeping.
Fair point, but everybody looks back at what they’re like aged 20 and realise what gormless clowns they were. Or at least me anyway.
Yep, that’s the tl;dr of my rant, ha.
The question is even framed that (if) Palace are reaching out to him… i.e making the first move.
How does someone else making the first move, make the other person begging?
He didn’t even make the first move and actually just answered the question. He was even shy about it, like that “would be cool but I don’t know what they’ve got going on”
How that turned into him being desperate or begging is mental and just comes from the place of people not being into him.
I’m not into him either, but he’s very good, just lacks flavour. Would definitely watch a part of his over others because he’s that good.
Would prefer him over Alec Majerus if we’re comparing amazing but bland skaters.
You’re missing what GConroy said and what I think most people were thinking of which was a semi recent Palace ad caption listing people who tried to get on and one was pretty much 100% Miles. Can’t find it online though, wish Palace archived their ads for the public
That’s where the convo is coming from not some 7 year old Solo interview nobody remembered, that was just tomgnargore who dug that out and called it begging when it wasn’t it was just a weird question
Anyway…I’m pretty keen to see this Mile Silvas part. Out at 5pm?
What came first the interview or the ad? Was the ad in reference to the interview? Or did he actually ring them up begging? Then do the interview?
Anyhoo any news on Yuto’s part?
Palace ad was pretty cunty and that is the divisive thing that makes Palace great or shit depending how you want to look at it.
never been into Palace personally so I can pick and choose things to appreciate if they come along and disregard the rest.
I said “begging it”. It’s a phrase.
I’m not saying he literally got on his knees at Southbank and begged Lev to be on.
Yeah, you did.
You said he wrote them letter, too. And took Palace ads and sellotapes his face over Luciens and Bradys. And made his own VHS effect sponsor me tape.
And you said it definitely all happened and you said you will die on that hill defending this.
That’s what you said.
You said it.
Excellent digging work
Hmmmm
Edits aren’t really doing much for the SOTY contenders this year. They’ve been a bit dull.
