Trendwatch 2021

[Croquet temper]

Skaters with super short shorts and Hawaiian shirts doing long slappies with their hands on their hips in a defiant pose.

Skaters that look like they have the car bed from Grandma's boy.

Skaters that look like sex workers.

Xanax tech fresh skaters.

[nolliecrooked]

I guess hipsters will dress like lady gaga, as they are trying to stick out, but 5min later everyone already got copied anyway lmao

Will the inconsequential pre-trick kickflip continue to gain steam?  I say yes.

2021 a choose your own adventure between 1920's French revolution coal miner and early 2000's Kris Markovich / Jason Dill "lost in barcelona" Sex Worker. Big sunglasses, big boot cut, tiny t-shirt, bootleg neon Von Dutch hat. Fat, shitty DVS kerry getz 7 reissues, no mask.

[WobbleHeadBob]

those edgy fashion kids are definitely bringing back the 00's mall goth/emo thing.

those ugly ass Polar big boy jeans arent going anywhere

Dirtbag P's only fans gets hacked and videos of her getting rattled in a crusty DIY spot ends up on SLAP

Whats wrong about a flexfit hat i never got the memo. Wearing hat for like almost 20 years messed up my hairline tho so im hat free these days even if i dont really care about hair. Idk

[JANUS]

As covid mutates and vaccines become ineffective, supply lines will fall apart and product scarcity will cause diy skate gear to become the new core.

No, your genes did that.

Since nostalgia comes in about 20 year cycles surely it's about time for a nu-metal resurgence in skating? Who's gonna be the first person to skate to Drowning Pool or something? I reckon I'd get clowned less for wearing a Korn tshirt now than I did in 2001

Oh man I hope so. My brother is absolutely gonna skate to limp bizkit...he prolly does now, head phones kid idk, but like a grand collection videos edited to let the bodies hit the floor could be doap.

I thought there was already a famous slam edit using this ironically unless im mistaken. Korn is honestly not the worst band in the world fr between freak on a leash and something like maroon 5 i would def chose korn. The music video for it was done by the guy who animated marvels spawn

[dustyassrocketswitchv]

has anyone in skating ironically rocked a cookie monster hat yet? could see jordan maxham doing it unironically

mandela effect. Coulda sworn he already was wearing one lmao

Chad Muska comeback part. Written, scored, and directed by Fred Durst.

Chris Cole doing a lazer flip over Tommy Lee's dick, wearing Fallen shoes.

Cory Kennedy's interview about prison and converting to Islam.

Elijah Berle doing an impossible over Tommy Lee's dick, wearing Vans Berle Pro shoes.

inverted kingpins

gnarly manual tricks involving going full speed like nik stain or dropping off stuff like stairs or into bigass ditches

fat square/conical wheels or very small roundish wheels. we will see less classic wheel shapes

riding a deck slightly smaller than truck width

shoes that are not out of suede, but full grain leather, fake suede or textile.

pimping up the tech of old shoe models without changing their looks.

more reebok skate calabos, but no skate program

nursery/scrub pants as a cheaper alternative to surf pants or dickies/chinos, unless the supply is gone due to covid

keeping a cholo bandana with you as a secondary covid mask at all times

skating telfords, but we will still complain about lakai quality

[Baswell Cerry]

In 2021 pros will be so far above what people think is attainable that dudes at the park will just skate for fun and stop standing in front of the fucking flatbar filming their friend try to mobflip the gap

I haven’t been here in quite some time and came back to discover 2 mentions of my tramp stamp in the same day. #iconic

[close]

This is so disgusting. What were you thinking?

[HORSES]

No, seriously, that is one of the worst tattoo's I have ever seen. Should add that to your Instagram bio.

I am being serious. You should apply for an editorial position at inked mag ... dude get in on the joke. I know its bad to other people. Don’t care. I can laugh at myself.

No seriously what it is though?

@brink what's your favourite Tool album?

Aenima was most impactful ... obviously re: the tattoo.

But man that’s near impossible between the last 4 of the 6. Fear Innoculum is absolutely absurd. Its easier to make a list of my favorite Tool songs than albums to be honest. You?

I saw Tool for the first time last year. Amazing show. Danny Carey has always been my favorite drummer too.

EDIT: I hope they don’t take another 13 years to make another album though.

I only started listening to them recently, listened to a bit from other albums but I just can't stop listening to Lateralus. Every time I think about trying to get into a different album I just go back to that one again. Listened through 10,000 days the other day and it seemed good, need to a few more listens though.

Was meant to see them at a festival in the UK this year that got cancelled, hopefully they'll come back whenever it happens next

[Billy Bitchcakes]

Think Parabola is my favourite so far. Just listening to Aenima now, sounds great so far. Thanks for the tips

mullets are back big time, idk if iv'e seen in on any skaters recently besides some australians but they tend to rock the fucked hair cuts more often regardless of time period

I have been seeing it in the US a little bit. Usually kind of on the fringe, lots of "older" (30ish) rockers getting back into skating or whatever...which I think is a rising trend in and of itself.
