Giovanni Vianna earned his first Street League Skateboarding Super Crown title last year. Will he be able to defend his crown in the 2024 SLS Tour?

Let’s rewind to how Giovanni was able to push his way up to get the Super Crown.

In the Chicago and Sydney stops, he managed to land in the nine club in the knockout rounds, but they weren’t enough to get him to the finals.

But come the Super Crown Championships, he was able to land three nine-club scores, with 9.4 being the highest, enough to snatch the crown from his closest rival, Vincent Milou.

Watch how it all went down in the video above.
