Model rocketry.
Grant's part in Mind Field opens up with a model rocket lifting off and some blistering guitar tones from J Mascis. Since the video was filmed over the span of four years, we get to see Grant grow up and watch his trick selection progress. The earlier footage is a whole lot of jumping down big gaps and the later footage is more handrails plus transitions. His style reminds me of Brandon Westgate to an extent. I like his half Cab to backside 50-50 down a rail. He also ollies a triple set, which isn't really something you think of him doing. Grant spends some time in the Atlanta streets by hitting up the spots Andy Howell made famous, too. The Workshop turned him pro by the end of 2009 and he won SOTY of the year for 2011.
