Loaded skateboards has been under the radar for quite a while, but this is about to change. Slowly this visionary company is growing and the word is definitely spreading, these boards are sick!

Taking the south by storm are the Downhill Billies, a grassroots skate group formed by a few locals of Statesvill NC. Comprised by members all over the east coast, and as far away as Ohio, Utah and Nevada.

With slalom, downhill, pool and sliding they accept all disciplines and anyone wishing to share in the good times.

With striking bold graphics and an ernest desire to bring skating to a local level, with their ongoing ditch series and skatepark fundraisers they are doing just that. Silverfish was lucky enough to have an open communication with Miles. Intreagued not only the graphics but by the seemingly deep participation in the scene, he was gracious enough to submit a bit of his time for the fish and get more in depth with his thoughts and Red Army Surplus Co.

Recently, I had the chance to sit down with Cliff after a sliding session in San Luis Obispo. I asked him about sliding, his famous clinics, who he sees leading the sport and more. Here's how it went:
With the recent release of their Slide Deck the infamous slide team holds fast to the UK sliding scene, The recently revamped and highly informative website provides retail and media access to this highly diverse and dynamic slide crew.
