Let this be a lesson: Get to the spot before the skater. When a skater is ready to go for something, they aren’t going to wait around for a photographer to get there, especially when they have a video camera already on hand.
Parker Garrett: Bloody Feets
Recently, SLUG had a chance to catch up with up-and-coming Utah County skateboarder Parker Garrett outside of Utah County indoor skate park, Banzai. He is a Provo native who is not shy to think outside of the box and get his feet bloody every now and then, and is helping progress the Provo skate scene with his skill set. This 21-year-old has a relaxed style that you can’t help but watch.

Matt Bergmann: The Bergler Does it All
Matt Bergmann absolutely kills it on a skateboard. I’ve seen Bergmann around for a couple of years now, and all I can say is that this dude fucking rips. He can—and will—skate anything.
