Julian Agliardi is undoubtedly one of skateboarding's hungriest up-and-comers right now. The dude seriously gets better every time I see him skate and it's really cool to witness. His power and consistency are something to admire, that's for sure. 

In the latest installment of My Indys, Julian breaks down why Independent’s 139 Stage XI Hollows are his go-to for every heavy session. From the contest course to his local park to the gritty streets, this is why Julian rides Indy. Take a look:

I know these are just some classic skatepark clips, but again, the dude is looking as strong as ever. He's got some mean flick and his impressive bag of tricks seems to only be getting deeper. The future is bright for this rising star. Love to see it. 

Julian is a super technical skateboarder and certainly isn't afraid to go big, either. So yeah, his gear has to keep up with his progression. Light enough to feel comfortable, strong enough to support him when he's jumping down monster sets and handrails. When you find something that works, you stick with it. Julian knows this. 

Don't think of this as just a product plug—it’s a proper glimpse into what keeps one of skateboarding’s gnarliest up-and-comers rolling strong session after session. Wanna know what makes Independent one of the most trusted brands in the game? Press play and let Julian explain. 

Julian has been on our radar for years and it's been rad to see him turning into the skateboarder he is today. Remember when he won Simple Session in Estonia? Peep the post above for a trip down memory lane. Total ripper! Can't wait to see what he has in store for the rest of 2025 and beyond.
