It is very difficult in skateboarding to be absolutely distinctive but watching Giovanni Vianna skate is like seeing something being said. More solid and emphatic in the way he lands than anyone else on the World Skateboarding Tour, Gio also has tricks nobody else does. Perfectly horizontally-locked Caballerial Frontside Noseslides on handrails and a Fakie Frontside Ollie to Back Smith on handrails speak to a unique talent and vision. Not only does Giovanni bring a unique interpretation of skateboarding with him but he is a master of his own personal craft. With a tour-best third place at WST Lausanne the true marker of his ability to upset the top order, he is unquestionably unique as well as one of the most exciting and dynamic skateboarders in the game today - anywhere, in any scene.
