Garrett Hill.

Red & Black.

Garrett is from the San Fernando Valley in California. He got into skateboarding because of his brother Gantry and grew up skating with Paul Rodriguez and Mikey Taylor. Garrett was sponsored by Sixteen Skateboards early on. As their riders grew older, Sixteen would try to help them find more age appropriate sponsors. This led to riding for Zero when Garrett's sponsor-me tape wounding up in the hands of Jamie Thomas. Later on Jamie would let him do a spinoff brand called Threat with Forrest Edwards as the other rider. Threat didn't last long and Garret was back on the Zero squad. In addition to Osiris, he also rode for Fallen. His other sponsors included Thunder and Altamont Clothing. Garrett can possibly speak Russian and knows how to play the guitar. He's not adverse to sewing his own clothes either.

Note: These ads are very elegantly shot photos of Osiris shoes that look great in print, but some of the magic vanished upon scanning twenty year old pages of a magazine. Sorry about that.
