It is no great stretch to say that Vitória Mendonça is the modern face of skateboarding today.
Having just been turned professional by her board sponsor Element Skateboards at CPH Open 2023, she has the world at her feet- but it wasn’t always this way.
From a humble background in Rio de Janeiro, her skating ability has raised her up to become one of the most visible girls in the worldwide sponsorship game today. Moreover, she has also parlayed her talent into a successful parallel career as a model.
Nobody writes scripts for life stories like hers in a world where young black women can face all kinds of prejudice. From the tough streets of urban Brazil to being nominated as Thrasher’s Skater Of The Year 2022, Vitoria is living proof that skateboarding is a dream factory.

Great feature!!
Fantastic 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💖🛹
Muito bom 🤩🛹🛹🛹
"it's crazy like" !!!
I can’t find anywhere that they are doing it so far but. There flat out needs to be a men’s soty and a women’s soty. Period.
Madars forgot to ask her what skateboarding means to her 😮
Shoutout to whoever did the color grading on this, it’s fire
👏🏻🔥🛹❤️🇧🇷👊🏻
How nice is this guy too!!! what a weapon
Dang it's an old episode
"we embrace trans people"…… Come on!
It's cool to watch women skate. But why can they do the most minimal grinds, Or tricks and people are blown away? Like they are killing it?
Why do they get a pass. Even from Elisa steamer? They are all good. But they do less than any man skateboarding. And get recognition. She's good. Real good. But she has more potential than she shows. She spends 2 seconds on a hub or a rail. I have done all of this. And haven't even been sponsored. But she's recognized fro thrasher? Blows my fucjin mind.
Love it!
Might just be my perspective, but me as a Dutch queer skater, feel like the Latin American countries have way more visibility for female skaters, I wish Europe was more open to this as well.
But please, correct me if I’m wrong
This was great
In the 40 years I skate Brazil has always been a top skate country. Good to see new generations keeping it alive.
Amazing
Soty
Respeita as minas
Igualdade para todas
merecedora!!!!
She is a beautiful singer as well Ong
Vitória is so incredible.
skateboarding has always been inclusive, piss off with this noise. red bull is turning into trash.
rolê da Vitória é muito top,uma promessa do skate nacional
até o policia tem mais base de shov-it do que eu 🙁
Rayssa Queen of skate in Brazil
Vitorinha!❤❤❤
Alguém sabe o nome da música em 8:12 ? Vi canta lindo dms
❤❤❤
Good but the roll away is not smooth enough to be skating for that long
muito dahora o seu rolê e tudo que você corre, vim pelo vídeo do xapa e curti demais a sua trajetória até se tornar pro, inspiração pra muita gente, sucesso!
=)
at 12:40 madars puts a new meaning to backside grind, maybe a backside – backside grind
Please please someone tell me what that black “airbrushed” t-chart Victoria is wearing! Good girl!
Vitória is fucking awesome, my fav skater ❤️
lindo demaisss, vitoria representa a verdade brasileira, simplicidade de gente comum… é isso que faz falta no mundo, todos se acham especiais e querem ser, mas somos só mais um…
Holy shit she rocks, maders rocks, this rocks
