Originating from Belgium, Youness grew up riding at a local skatepark owned by his mother to become one of the most versatile and electric individuals in skateboarding today.
He possesses almost inhuman board control and technical ability, shown when he burst on the scene at just 18, winning Red Bull’s 2010 Manny Mania AM competition.
His all-round skill though, is incredible and he is as happy to throw down on a gap or stair set as hit the ramp. While Belgium isn’t known for its skate heritage, right now it has one of the most exciting and promising skaters in the world.
