World Skate SIT DOWN: Vincent Milou
Vincent Milou has walked skateboarding’s current highwire act better than most. Mainstream skateboarding media is currently preaching to ever-smaller congregations about what constitutes legitimacy in this tastemaking sphere of youth culture; meanwhile, contests flourish in a post-Covid era.
Sponsors want their skateboarders to do the impossible- to broadcast and narrowcast them at the same time. As something clearly has to give there- and with the tide going against cool-guy culture in this day and age of inclusion- Vincent has just recently resolved a longstanding board sponsor limbo.
He returned to Rome for WST World Cup 2025 in order to reclaim his position as the crowd’s darling everywhere he goes.
Marc Churchill sat down to get a sense of where France’s highest-ranked Street skateboarder (30th) on the WST is at in his life and skating right at this moment in time.

Let’s just say there will be some heavy lifting! With Creature’s Sam Hitz spearheading the show, INTRUDERS promises to have notes of obnoxiousness and left-field questioning that will make board collectors of the world cringe. Yet unable to look away, like a wreck on the highway.
