Vincent Milou
November 11, 1996 (Age 29)
France
Regular
A really remarkable story in many ways: Vincent Milou got into competitive skateboarding sideways as a pedigree street skater who was advised to turn his power and stickability to a contest and found he did well. He has risen through the competitive ranks from those warehouse contests to represent France among the best in the world. Vincent’s fourth place in the Tokyo Olympics may not have garnered him a medal but it has made him the most popular skateboarder in France, with crowds chanting his name in Paris later that summer.
