João Allen – Victória
Not one to dwell in the skatepark all day, João Allen is constantly out in the streets finding the next roof to fly off or untouched hubba to grind. If you’ve ever found yourself in Portugal and half-jokingly thought, “I wonder if someone could skate this?” chances are João has already discovered that spot and done the most mind-blowing manoeuvre there. The proof is in the pudding as they say, as you’ll see in his new part for Element Skateboards: Victória.
Victória is the name of João’s daughter, which also means “victory” in Portuguese. One of João’s friends said the title of this vid is quite fitting, as every trick for it was a victory. You’ll see many clips of tricks that have been photos in the mag the past year as well. Enjoy!
