Leonardo
Vinicius

11-year-old rookie Leonardo Vinicius is the youngest competitor at X Games Japan 2023, making his debut in SKB Vert. He’s from Leon, Spain, and has been making a name for himself as a rapidly-progressing prodigy. In March, after a visit to Tony Hawk’s vert ramp, Hawk put him on the Birdhouse Skateboards am team. Don’t let his (tiny) size fool you: he goes big, and has already learned varial McTwists and other incredibly technical tricks.
