Notes

Tokyo 2020 Skateboard of Vincent MILOU (FRA) 4th place, street “I use Pizza Skateboards – a make from Sacramento (USA). My pro model is long and slightly oval round the nose, like an American football, unlike some other boards, which are more square. The broader middle (8.5 inches wide) means that I’m more comfortable on turns, while the narrower nose and tail (8.25 inches) help with the flips. I used the board on my first day of training, but I broke it on the rail. There’s a crack in the tail.” Vincent MILOU
