LCV SKATER SPOTLIGHT šŸ”„

Each week Iā€™ll be looking for a Skater of the Week to showcase in our Skater Spotlight. This week is Parker Grant.

Some skaters are born with a board under their feetā€”others find their way to it in more unexpected ways. For Parker Grant, it all started with a gaming controller and the iconic Tony Hawk's Pro Skater games. What began as digital kickflips turned into a real-life obsession the day he spotted a skateboard at his neighborā€™s garage sale. That board sparked something that never left.
Parker describes skateboarding as ā€œart with no rulesā€ā€”a form of expression that doesnā€™t need structure to be powerful. His skating style reflects that philosophy: creative, free-flowing, and unapologetically his own. Whether heā€™s cruising the streets or landing his go to treflip, he brings the same mindset: skating isnā€™t about perfection, itā€™s about perspective.
Some of his go-to brands include Vans, Powell, and Santa Cruz, staples that mirror his mix of classic style and raw energy. But even more than gear or tricks, itā€™s Parkerā€™s outlook that makes him stand out in the skate community.
To new skaters, Parker has this to say: ā€œDonā€™t compare yourself to other skaters. Everyone learns at their own pace and fights their own battles. Just because someone looks like theyā€™re having a perfect session doesnā€™t mean they feel that way. They might be thinking about everything they still want to improve. Focus on your own path, your own progress.ā€
Among his biggest accomplishments? Sitting down for an interview with legendary skater Jeff Kingā€”a dream moment that reminded him how far heā€™s come. But heā€™s quick to point out that the journey is never quick or easy. ā€œAccept that itā€™s going to take time to get good. Everyone progresses differently. Donā€™t let anyone bully you or make you feel less for skating. If they do, that says more about them than it does about you.ā€
Whether he's dropping advice, inspiring newcomers, or making content for his YouTube channel, Parker Grant reminds us all what skateboarding is really aboutā€”freedom, growth, and staying true to yourself.
