Some riders are just born ready for the big stage! Hailing from Long Beach, California, Julian Agliardi has always skated far above his age class. He’s fearless across big rails and massive stair sets, with a deep bag of technical tricks for every spot. Coming up as a hungry amateur, he quickly turned heads with Instagram clips and contest results, earning a spot on the Monster Army support program.

Then things escalated quickly: In 2024, the young phenom shook the status quo by winning one of the skateboarding world’s most iconic competitions, the Mystic Sk8 Cup in Prague! He then landed a coveted spot on Disorder, the board brand helmed by skateboard icon Nyjah Huston.

From there, his evolution took off. In 2025, Julian claimed second place at PHX Am and made his Street League Skateboarding (SLS) debut at the Santa Monica Spot Takeover, rising all the way to the finals! He leveled up to full Monster Energy sponsorship the same year, made a strong X Games debut at the Japan edition in Osaka, and followed it up at the inaugural X Games Salt Lake City 2025, where he earned bronze in Men’s Skateboard Street. Julian also claimed second place at the Rockstar Open in Men’s Skateboard Street, proving he’s one of the sport’s fastest-rising stars.
