Appreciation of country music. People claiming they've liked it.

Most places in the south appreciate country music. Hell I've seen people skate wearing real tree camo

Someone already say Salad grinds?  It's been about 10+ years since they died out and I think with this generation they'll look to bring them back.

I could see these coming back for sure salad down a kink would be sick

I would love that. I can actually do that trick but only off the end of a ledge. that would be pretty sick if people popped out of those or even did flip tricks into or out of them.

Hell yea! Its as hell as hell here I don't care what anyone says I love wearing my shorts. I love playing basketball and I've been to skate parks with a basketball court right next to it and what I do is wear my basketball shorts and bring a pair of jordans to change into when I'm ready to hoop.

no I get that, what I meant is that it hasn't happened recently and/ or been used by kids who weren't even born when said bands were around i.e. Ben Kadow

I could see a revival of the earthy image of skateboarding that was in full swing in the mid 00s. When Habitat and Element were both more invested in promoting environmental consciousness, and there were still companies like iPath, Satori, Organika, LRG etc.

Watching Tyson Peterson in the new Vans video made me think this type of stuff could come back into fashion and be melded with the current fashion-focused trends in skating. There's also Yaje, Evan Smith...

What do you guys think?

Skateboarding and environmental consciousness don't really mesh for me considering all the product we go through. All those brands you mentioned seem so gimmicky in a way. Like, yeah I recycle and shit, but I'm not kidding myself.

Hey, we're still around... just quite a bit underfunded in terms of being able to do things with the skate team.

Edit: tried to highlight Satori, but you can't do that in quotes.

Also, stacking California picnic tables so you can grind across two or more will definitely be coming back as a trend soon.

I back it. That type of style actually makes more sense in today's culture than during the mid 2000s.

We (Satori) recycled old skateboard wheels, but the process still involved adding new urethane on top of the old wheels. It wasn't a gimmick, it was: "How the fuck can we stop throwing all these old wheels away?".

We got boxes and boxes of old wheels donated, but after making the sets, it cost more than just getting some made from scratch. Most people in skateboarding the world are simply looking for the cheapest product. It's the story of capitalism, producer more for cheaper to have a higher profit.

Very few seem to care we are wrecking eco systems around the world with this model, but then again people don't care until it personally affects their lives.

Prove it, send me some product. ;)

But really, I watched Roots and Culture for the first time a couple of months back and was so into it. Definitely filled with gold.

Awesome. My promo budget has been limited to team riders only for quite some time now.

It's tough to pay attention to what every company is doing now a days in terms of sustainability in product design. There are board designs that use the scrap veneers from cutting decks to make a new deck. We had that option when Creation was around and I was told DLX does that with their price points.

I believe Element or some company did a tree planting thing at some point. Element's forest wood source is pretty heavy on sustainable practices, at least thats what Paul Schmitt talked about at the Element camp 10 years ago.

I didn't mean to come into this thread and just blabber without contributing a trendwatch, so I'll throw in the health thing.

Sure, you've got some skaters who can drink brews all day and shred, but as people age I notice more of a focus on diet, stretching, alternative physical activities, and just slowing down on the party vibes (I guess that's called growing up).

I still drink brews throughout most my skate sesh's but definitley slowed down on partying all night vibes and try to make an effort to stay loose and stretch before and after physical activity cause i got so sick of being so sore for 1-2 days after skating all day.


We may not know what skateboarding is
But we sure as hell know what it aint
Wait we know what it is now too -
