Franky Villani
Franky Villani grew up skating the popular Santa Ana Skatepark, where local pros and industry people took notice of his talent early. Villani has named Jerry Hsu and Louie Barletta as some of his major skate influences growing up. Franky's style is a mixed bag, blending creative and technical, which has earned the respect his peers. After bouncing around board sponsors for a couple years, Franky finally found a home at Primitive and turned pro for the company in 2018. Villani can be seen skating unique spots with ease in parts like Primitive's 'Always On My Mind' and in Thrasher's 'One Big Mess', New Balance's '417', and various Dickies video parts, etc. Franky also enjoys collecting in his spare time, having a large collection of movies, skateboard decks, and horror film memorabilia.
