They might not be wrong. There was a penny board boom a while back and a couple years ago the female rollerskate thing started coming back and has continued to grow. I can see a bunch of people who want to be kinda skate adjacent but not too mainstream or don't want to learn tricks getting them (and then 95% of them quitting when they realise you still need skill)
Those who stay will become even more insufferable than Slappy only skaters and have their own set of catchphrases like "actually it's harder to ride a polariser on flat than it is to grind a handrail" "it's more dangerous trying to carve a bank than jumping down stairs" and other things that could only make sense to people who have never done either of those other things

there's people like this already but they don't ride polarizers, they ride surfskates. i don't know if they have any catchphrases though

I’m all in on crop tops. Filmed a clip in one yesterday and man it felt good to feel that breeze on my midriff as I rolled away.

Hopefully not that hair style Caleb Barnett, Kader and others have been rocking lately. It looks strange to me. Maybe I am to old. That jewish rapper that skates really good has two of them. It seems like that fade in 97 where everyone had to wear yellow t-shirts for one summer. Over and out.

I’m from South Florida so wicks and dreads are pretty common. Not really a hairdo anyone can pull of but I thought Kaders and Caleb’s looked good. Looks like Caleb cut his already. Just wait until Halloween I’m sure we’ll see a lot of BLP Koshers dressed up. But same thing with the crop tops, not everyone can get away with it or make it look cool. I think little shirts and huge pants looks whack. But what do I know? I wear relaxed fit white shirts and loose fit blue jeans or black pants most the time. Kinda boring but definitely chill.

I see you rocking the yellow shirt / Gall on your profile picture ;) I had a yellow t-shirt period as well. I might be too old for that fashion to understand it. Peace Florida man!

You just have to determine when slim pants left. The fashion cycle is approx 15 years. Anything 7 years old is the worst then it starts to come back around.
In theory we could be seeing some piss drunx, k slims etc now but some shit just never really comes back like flares. Some stuff like moustaches and mullets are constantly "coming back" it's not a perfect science.
-
slim pants were merely a blip in skateboarding history, with regular/baggy/huge being more or less the norm since the 90s. i don’t see a widespread adoption of slim or skinny pants being a thing any time soon.
i went to the park last weekend for the first time in forever and can report nu-metal styles in abundance, a surprising amount of “core” shoe brands (etnies, dc and és), with nb# easily winning the corpo shoe race - nary a nike or adida in sight.

I guess the second part is what is "slim". Compared to when pants got tight or extra baggy slim has a pretty big range (and can even be hard to tell watching old videos etc)
tech shoes were also a mere blip but they're kinda coming back a bit (or things that are trying to resemble them at least)

full dipped complete would be sick, for the first day. like white trucks, white hardware, by bolts, bushings, rails, and grip on an embossed white deck. It will be sick while you are in the shop taking pictures of it for IG, then 10 minutes into the first sesh, it'll look like shit.

Tucked in shirts are dope. But you need the right silhouette/physique. But I prefer that over shirts that are a sweaty baggy mess.

It's not great for the environment, but the average Home Depot probably stocks more plywood than the skate industry produces in a year. Wheels break down into microplastics, but I've got news for you about car tires, stretch pants, and grocery bags.
In a perfect world, we'd probably have to curb skateboarding, but for so long as we continue to chop up forests to build ever expanding suburbs, blow the tops off of mountains to extract coal, spew gas in various forms into the environment, and open-pit mine lithium so wealthy liberals can feel good about their automobile purchases, I don't see how anyone could too harshly judge skateboarding for its environmental impact

Nope. Many people have already started giving less of a fuck and also there's a growing number who give a fuck conditionally and performatively. Both are detrimental.

True.
When the local skateshop posts they're going to have big boys, there will literally be lines and lines of kids.
Every single one of them dresses like we used to dress back in 1999.
We had a brand of pants called "venom" her back in the day. Same hype around it as well ...

Also true!
I saw some local skateshops post stuff like "Big pants need big shoes" and post the most horrible looking globes and Osiris shoes ... Probably targeted to kids that "dress" like skaters, because no real skater their right mind would ever were those shoes ever again.

But, is this more detrimental than being completely blind to social justice/environmental issues or even unknowingly reinforcing parts of mainstream culture that infringe on the rights of others or contribute to the destruction of the planet? I don't know, in my opinion that's a hard case to make. For the record, I'm not saying performative Instagram posts are enough, because theyre not. And they are annoying.

Not gonna lie, but 25% of the reason I bought that shoe is cuz of the diamond bling.

A bunch of skate “influencers” a gonna realize they’re not going to get rich and famous off of YouTube and will quit their channels, some will quit skating all together (it’s already happening)
Lots of people will be quitting skating in general and lots of brands going under
There are some kids in my area that really seem to be doing it for internet clout. They're good enough at skating, but they're following the "wear ridiculous clothes so your mediocre clips stand out" trend. It's all in the hopes of showing up on the Instagram explore page, I guess. They got a little love from influential people in the local scene and they're using that as license to do really kooky stuff. I could totally see them quitting skating if that attention gravy train slows down, however.

Saw that nobody had made this thread yet, and i love always hearing what slappers can think of.
1 trend id like to see come back are videos from LARGE teams like Shortys Hardware, Spitfire, Independent. I dont think they disappeared entirely, but I do remember them being more popular in the 90s and could see their return somehow.

I’ve been hearing this since covid as well but my take is that I’m glad people skate in baggy pants because it looks better and I like wearing them.
But we will know it’s up when people are dressing like Greco in the early P.D. Phase, still baggy but shifting, like Ben Gilley or what that Snappy dude dresses like now

slim pants were merely a blip in skateboarding history, with regular/baggy/huge being more or less the norm since the 90s. i don’t see a widespread adoption of slim or skinny pants being a thing any time soon.
i went to the park last weekend for the first time in forever and can report nu-metal styles in abundance, a surprising amount of “core” shoe brands (etnies, dc and és), with nb# easily winning the corpo shoe race - nary a nike or adida in sight.
nu metal epic.
-
Shorter video parts. Not so much by choice but because many pros will all have to get real jobs and won't really be able to get out and film or travel.
A ton of pros will try to get into the YouTube thing but realise they're too late and give up before they make ten videos
Also since the fox gloves have been brought up I think at some point somebody will go for some fox biking pants altho 2024 seems too soon. I've thought it for a while but it def will have to be once the pants have slimmed down and the hems have already raised again first. Plus dirt bikes are only getting more and more popular so there's bound to be some spill over

pro skater vlogs are going to continue growing in numbers. look at figgy, pedro delfino, tom asta, maurio mccoy. i just realized in the other thread that moose's day in the life has more views than beta blockers. one pro from the industry will eventually make livestreaming look appealing ($$$), and then other pros are going to copy that and start livestreaming as well. big companies like DC dropping riders is going to further fuel this.
funny how skating is ground zero for trends in fashion and street culture and yet remains stuck in the stone age in other ways. many still love their vx1000s, everything that matters still only ever happens in california though that is slowly changing, and livestreaming is still a rare form of skateboard media even though twitch is a $45 billion company.

Not drinking is pretty normal for kids these days. There are alarm bells in the drinks industry because the next generation don't seem to be into it.

As far as fashion goes I’d like to see mid 2000s clothes make a come back. I guess I’d say like a Marc Johnson or Mike mo fit from fully flared, boot cut jeans or chinos tucked in with the tongue popped out, crewnecks and sweaters, slouchy beanie and fitted hats, and of course with the shoe string belt haha I guess because that era is when I was fully immersed in skateboarding, always thought those fits were dope.

As someone else said, a lot of these people are going to be coming too late, and just as the "Vlog" format is dying/evolving. It will be interesting to see who makes it.
For some reason, I always seem to upset people when I say this, but anyone in the Braille camp is probably in the top ~1% of earners in the skate industry. Hell, Chris Roberts is probably making more in YouTube revenue than basically any pro without a shoe.
As for the livestreaming thing, look no further than GH (another shoe-less top-earning skateboarder).

Prediction/ hot take:
The money is all fucked up so there will be a hard reset on what should be considered pro.
If you went pro during or after 2013:
By the end of 2024 if you aren’t in Street League, are not getting paid by your corporate shoe sponsor, do not have a signature shoe if you’re on a non-corpo brand, or do not own a profitable board company yourself, you are no longer pro.
If you went pro before 2013:
If you still have your name on a board but you have less than 3 minutes of footage from the start of 2022 to the end of 2024, you are no longer pro. And that 3 minutes of footy standard will apply for every 2 year stretch until your name is off a board. That also applies to company owners and dudes with signature shoes.
-
No disagreement with that list except that I’m not sure Street League will continue to exist throughout 2024.

Absolutely, but my prediction has nothing to do with how good (or even deserving) a skateboarder is, I’m talking about the economics of it.
If being a pro is basically a part time job for everyone except 15 dudes because of the shit pay, then what’s the point of being a pro? These days getting your content out into the world is effortless, and the accolade of becoming a pro by being anointed by the current pros is somewhere between “not prestigious anymore” and a “complete farce”.
The saturation is why I’m predicting a very abrupt and kinda harsh restructuring, probably coinciding with whatever looming American economy shit that’s about to pop off.

Love a good prediction because Slap and skateboarding never cease to amaze me.
- Crew videos become a thing. By that I mean whole team videos and tour videos are stale. Instead people get more hyped on seeing two or three good homies share a video and drop 2024 equivalents of Tim & Henry’s. It’s already started happening with Miles, Louie, Curren and Jake leading the charge.
Sidenote: Piggybacking of an earlier idea, these ‘crews’ might change the economic model for board brands who consider said crew members the official pro tier worth paying. Everyone else gets flow.
- Demos are back! Kids and middle aged skaters want to see their favourite skaters in the flesh. Teams that don’t do demos don’t deserve respect.
- Nine club tries more whacky short-lived ideas like giving Kelly and Jeron their own separate shows.
- Nora gets pregnant and takes a brief hiatus.
- Tech ledge skating finally starts to fizzle out but hubba skating gets even more tech with reverts and over rotating in and out of tricks becomes the norm. Hand rail skaters chase gaps between rails.
- Waist coats become a fashion statement
-
I predict that in 2024, if this skate-recession that everyone is anticipating fully sets in, skate media’s/culture’s laser focus on SF, LA, and NYC will only increase.
For that reason, the trends in skateboarding will not be very surprising or different from 2023.

The only thing that can save the skateshoe industry is another teenage ryan sheckler esque dude that all the girls want to date. Other than that i dont see core skate shoe brands being successful while running basketball and tennis shoes are the more popular choice for non skateboaders.
We retroed everything, nothing seems to left field to be edgy anymore. Nbds on tiktok? Shit would suck so bad.
Indie sleaze has been called to be the next retro wave with supra skytops and skinny jeans but i actually dont see it happening. The mainstream loves bulky ass shoes or vulcs and huge pants or high water trousers.

I’ll go with the, it’s just trendy to skate.
Crailtap had about 10 available boards available online in 2015-ish then the nine club debuted and now crail has over 100 available boards. The berrics + the nineclub + thrahser+everyother IG/tiktok reel got tons of people new and old stoked (which isn’t a bad thing) People find out they suck, get hurt or just find something else to do when their peers don’t give them attention for being “extreme” anymore. It does seem like a downturn right now. IMO over saturation definitely plays a roll in these downturns. I think we just need to support brands that actually support us back and keep it moving.

I forgot about that. I feel like its kinda gimmicky tho like Miles was holding what looked to be a tshirt in his new part while wearing a tshirt which comes across as pretty forced.

In some dramatic scenario where someone is actively bleeding from their hand but still needs the clip it could be a beast move, otherwise just holding onto a shirt or towel for no other reason but swag alone was ABD long time ago with SAD being the absolute goat of this phenomenon. No time for slippin.

If skateboarding feels too easy for you then just grab a brick and try back lip a handrail while holding it.

not too sure about trends, hopefully cities creating more public places to skate continues.
edit: will circle back in the future with stats originally shared.
if you missed it, out of 33 shops and 53,957 products in their online stores, the average deck price is 68.50, shoes 82.05, wheels 40.70, and trucks 50.25.

I remember gasping when Franky did that big spin bennett grind on a hubba at some contest (I can't recall which one it was) a few years back. I wouldn't be surprised if he whipped one out in his next part. Could also see that Toa Sasaki kid doing a nollie bennett on a sizeable handrail in the near future.

Everyone talking about the PD/skate rock resurgence for the kids, but I think the lot of you 30-somethings would look really cool in leather jackets, 3 belts, too many rings, and skin tight jeans. Small-ish shirt so the gut hangs out a little bit. Baker Cheetah print logo, or some of those old Flip graphics from the VoV thread.
Tease or spike your hair for the complete look.

I think they meant windbreakers.
I've kinda noticed that. Graphic windbreaker Earth tone beanie clear lens glasses some type of work pants that flare at the bottom and vans or Vans knocks.
I feel like cups are coming back in 24. But who knows with everyone doing roll on grinds and slappies.
We'll see what happens with Etnies. I hope they bring back that green shoe Ben held up. Everything he showed was what they need.
Natas 1990s got me swooning. Remember that shit? There was nothing cooler than those back then. Nothing.
I noticed NB is kinda blowing up around here again. I think it's the boss. I'd like to see the Etnies thing come back tho.
My last pair was so bad I got um for free and gave them away twice. Three times actually because I don't have um now. Think I gave them to my brother when he got out of prison.
I feel like King could have a good year. That Nak graphic with the flyer is good.
I hope metal Core or slam or whatever stops being popular in 2024.
I hope people start loving Rock and Roll again. Do cool new things with it in all genres.
I'd like to see oldies get more popular and inspire an new analog recording era in all genres.
I'm sick of hearing bands snap their music to a grid. It ruins it. You need to have an organic flow. Computers suck

I can see Tyshawn skating in those jeans right now. Hot damn
Dime Max is already getting pretty close to this look. Or at least the male counterpart to this look.

^after watching baker has a deathwish and some recent no comply skate shop videos I'd say people are already dressing like guys did from that period.
I'm not going to be some old telling kids to pull their dang pants up but as somebody that wore the wrong size pants for years kinda find it weird people want to go back to having to fix their belt every 45 seconds

Manual to pop to slide on the same pad. Thought Reynolds from BHADW2 was cool but just saw Sewa do one too.

I have noticed a trend away from the gigantic pants which were the norm for the past 3-5 years. The pants are definitely still loose, not ~2004 tight, but more like Levi's 550s two-sizes up baggy.

With the Grasshoppers coming back watch out for more Bob Marley shirts, rasta-colored belts, and of course dreadlocks in 24/25.

Some pro will get filmed doing a beer run hill bomb in just his drawers and everybody will jump on the bandwagon. The naked 540 will make a comeback. Loose pants? Tight pants? In 2024 it's all about NO PANTS.
(But high socks. Sock:foo ratio remains in effect.)

I bought one of these by accident, from the photos I thought they were just some disproportionately wide pants.
Related to this, are cutoff pants out for real? I used to be one of these guys to be honest, but I haven't cut a pant for 2 years now.

I'm patiently waiting for slim pants to come back around, I get tired of yanking the waistband up on my drooping billowy pantaloons every two minutes

Slim pants (with ample flex and give) are excellent for skating. My best skating too.
It’s nothing getting in the way of your leg moving, and you can instantly know where legs are at any moment.
I would love to get back to slim straights, but my ass is too fat now, and my dad bod is strong with this one. I just look ridiculous.
So… tastefully baggy “athletic” pants it is.

30-50 year olds cannot predict trends, no young people come on here anymore that can shed their insight into whats happening at the ground floor, every trend discussed in here has been goin for atleast 5 years atleast

I'm from the deep south, so when I see these NYC goober's with nascar type of redneck gear and cut off type of kit lol I laugh because it's not something southern people always wear, it blows my mind that being a cousin fucker shit kicker with meth moustaches is trending now in skateboarding.

Wait till you see what's chart tapping in Germany tight now. Go on Youtube and treat yourself to "Ski Aggu"

there’s been a lot of pump fakes the last couple years as far as what the Next Big thing is going to be. it was supposed to be d3s and early 00s fashion but it never took off

I did a quick Google search & this is what I found.
Perhaps not the “Aggu” you were referencing, but well worth the the minimal effort on my part, regardless.

This is a big tune. I'd like to see it featured in one of those artsy Carhartt WIP poetry edits.

Idk if they still sell them but habitat was making some super dope cords not long ago, I fucked up and dried mine and they shrunk a dick ton unfortunately
-
Cords is cool and all but they pick up that butt sweat smell way too fast. Jeans you can wear for ever and pass the butt sweat smell test best. Ben Davis is damn near indestructible and you can probably shit your pants and still wear them for a solid week with out anyone noticing.

I want to see fools wearing that Elmo shit again like that Albert dude did. He ripped and elmo kinda cool. Cooler then most you clowns is worried about clothes. Elmo don’t even careabout gear just vibes and that Albert dude is still hella good and sour graphics pretty stupid but that skreach looking fool kinda fun to watch too. Look like he made out of some of gargamel from the smurfs jizz and some gummie worms skating by accident.

ngl uniqlo or even uo cords are good. for some premium thick stuff the quasi elliot is a good pant
thrift is also a good option especially if you come across vintage tommy hilfiger

It will be nearly four years since people started to predict a return of slimmer fitting pants. From my own experience, I see nothing but baggy jeans at the local. Am I alone? Will 2024 finally be the year?
its happening, but slowly. medium-wide bootcut has been creeping in more and more, look at donovan wildfong and fashionable guys like that. first we need to work through the slighty sagged big belt y2k-2005 look.

Yup. In LA every fashionista wants to look like 80s midwestern trailer trash. Mullets, cigarettes, boot cut jeans, tucked in shirts, big belt buckles, Budweiser, cowboy hats, and cowboy boots.
I’ll fuckin pass on all that

It seems to me that kickers, bumps, banks and so on are getting really popular
