Fox Rio Brunner has a publicist and an Instagram account with 32,000 followers, while his parents screen calls from agents and would-be sponsors, all seeking business with a kid fresh out of kindergarten. “I’ve never really been afraid when I’m on my skateboard,’’ Brunner says.
His parents watch as their 6-year-old performs “railslides’’ at a Bellevue outdoor skateboard park. Fox Rio Brunner tumbles on the concrete, dusts himself off and gets back up to try the same move.
“Are you OK?’’ his father calls out.
“Yes, I’m fine,’’ Fox replies, flashing a grin before hopping back on his board.
