Gavin Bottger

Gavin Bottger, aka Gavo, goes bigger and bigger year over year. He skated his first contest at age 6 and his style has matured well with age, 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. 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 contests or kicking it bowlside in the backyard, he’s out skating something else and likely stacking clips like those featured in Gavin’s “Scuttle” part for Thrasher and his ender part in “Milo.”
