Gavin Bottger

Known as “Gavo,” Gavin Bottger goes bigger and bigger year over year. His style has matured with age (which makes sense, considering he skated his first contest at age 6) as has his intensity and technical drive. In 2024 (at the age of 17) he earned a spot on Team USA and represented at the Olympic Games in Paris, where he finished 10th overall. Over the years, Gavin has proven he can do it all: flip tricks, 540s transfers and podium-worthy full runs when the contest pressure is on. Gavin also has a little piece of backyard paradise with a bowl built by skate legend Kyle Berard’s company, Front Rock Inc. When he’s not on a world tour of skateboard contest or kicking it in the backyard, bowlside, he’s out skating something else. He lives and breathes it and has a few worthy video parts to prove it: watch “Scuttle” for Thrasher from 2022, and the ender part in “Milo” from  2023. As for what’s next: Stay tuned.
