Where does the time go? Can you believe Grant Taylor has been riding for Nike SB for twenty years? Think back on those early SB ads, he was just a little kid. Think about his hard-hitting part in Debacle. His skating was undeniable and eventually the pro model shoe came, which is still hitting today! Hit the link below the video to peep the new 20th anniversary model of Grant's Blazer Low.

Sit back and enjoy this six-minute-plus montage of one of the best to ever do it—and is still doing it! Grant Taylor's footage output is a gift to us all. 

"Twenty years of Grant Taylor and Nike SB. Thanks for showing us how it's done. Cheers to 20 more, Grant. 20th anniversary SB Blazer Low GT out now in finer skate shops. Find a shop near you: https://www.nikesb.com/shops"

This edit really shows the little tyke turning into the full grown beast known as Grant Taylor. The pride of Atlanta, Georgia. The decked rocks and disasters, the boned down frontside Ollies—no one's got it like Grant. Truly an ATV, just check the recipts here: Anywhere around the world, he's ripping skateparks and bowls, big handrails, gaps—even manual tricks. 

And none of us would be here without the homegrown support of Grant's father, Thomas Taylor (RIP), and their shop Stratosphere. 

Shout out to all the skate-supportive parents out there, and the core shops in your community. That's really the most important part of this culture. 

Obviously anytime we get GT clips, we're going to be hyped. Check out this episode of Backyard Barging below where Peacock got some backyard pool gold with Grant and Co.

Shout out to the whole Maka Lassi crew and the DIYs they're pouring out there. This video is definitely worth your time:

Cheers to Grant Taylor and Nike SB—here's to 20 more.
