Time to speculate.

Will jeans get bigger.

What shoes will be cool. what shoes are wack. Will everyone still flood shops for dunks

Violet, Limosine, any other new board companies, wtf does it take to have a successful one

Influencers, who will still give a shit

the 15 minute two parts and scraps from the team formula, wtf is next. Will we ever get another mindfield

I think inst*gr*m is dying. Yootube sucks and has too many ads. Would be sick if board brands used whatever song they wanted again.

Old guard brands, can they adapt, should they adapt

Not just yet approx 3 more years. The way it works is less than 5 years is recent. 5 to 8 is starting to dag 8 to 13 is the worst then after that the trends start to come back.15+ years old is about right for fashion. It's not exact tho each time it comes around it's blurry

yes
i think more skaters will embrace the gorp-y look, with arc’teryx and new balance being so huge right now.
since NB hype keeps going up and up i think numeric will get more popular
dunk hype will not go away, as long as the releases are limited resellers are guaranteed to make a profit, they will always be hard to get. i would love if dunk hype went away though, i don’t even like dunks but i keep entering raffle after raffle and not winning anything.

will the fits get better or worse? personally i think the whole 2014 onwards rainbow camo thing was the worst trend in recent years and anything we get now will be nowhere near as bad as that

polar bigger boys

a rise in people copying suciu/tom knox/etc with the quick feet technique, already seen a bit of it

more low effort brands launching and then folding in a few months

as said earlier, the varial flip will come back in another cycle. is it ironic? is it serious? who knows.

Baggy highwater pants look ridiculous

Buying dedicated skate brand pants is regular, overpriced AND they look like shit double whammy

Who gives a shit what's "cool" wear some shoes that feel good - this applies to literally any skate gear trend

Limosine's trailer was filled with so much B roll slow mo at the beginning I just stopped watching it

Jamie Griffin and Ellis Frost doing casual Merlin Twists and double forward flips are sometimes a really nice change of pace from watching the exact same tre flip, flip into a tailslide line we see a thousand times per week

Independent will embrace their "fuck the rest" slogan and bring back the iron cross only to divide the skate world into an us vs. them situation only to have Grind King takes the top spot while people bicker about racism and the origin of the iron cross logo.

Cariuma will decrease the size of the logo on the side of the shoe as sales decrease only to declare bankruptcy by Sept. 2022. They'll restructure and rebrand and be sold at Target by summer 2023.

Limousine Skateboards will be one of the top trend setting brands of the year.

Somebody will be exposed as the Rachel Dolezal of skateboarding.

Street doubles like vert double will speckle the likes of Instagram.

Kids will continue to rap poorly, while also playing guitar poorly.

Some K-Pop star will skate embarrassingly, but it'll be kinda cute. It will be me.

Jahmal William's parts will be processed by AI and I'll be happy.

But get this, you need shoes with a groove, kinda like those new tech skate shoes.
All the shoe companies will adapt.
30 minute Youtube videos about how Airwalk made lace savers before spats existed titled "Did Skate Spats™ Steal Tech from This Old Iconic Shoe Company!??"

Also Matt Goetz announces bid to run for president with runningmate Mark "Gator" Rogowski as his VP. Don't expect that til late next year though.

It’s nice to know that you like helping the elderly and homeless. Do you do things around your community/neighborhood? Soup kitchen? Food pantry? Retirement home? Would love to hear.

Also, it helped maybe a couple 13 year olds, but it’s a pretty well known joke hommie (kinda big in the earlier sls days).

(It’s not cool to show that you get a joke just to show that you get the joke)

That's my current setup I'd be very happy if it became the norm and they made thinner boards with bigger tails and longer wheelbase. Truck width is so over rated. Unless you're bombing crazy hills or skating vert a couple extra mm won't make much difference

Slick bottoms or a newer variation

Females entering Dying To Live territory (possible SOTY nomination)

Primitive establishing the direction for street skaters with Tiago making another SOTY run.
From experience, after the BPSW Goofy Boy era (that we are kind of reliving right now), the focus shifted hard towards style. cf Virtual Reality to Goldfish.

Not one but two rail chompers/mosher droppers suffer terrible head trauma and puts the whole gnarly side of skating on ice. Either that or helmets become acceptable for those kind of endeavours.

One of the new mega ramp champs releases a no pad part and gets mainstream success.

Drone footage.

BATB ends in a proper scandal revealed by Giftedhater and backed by Jenkem.

The Bunt gets a surge in support and knocks the Nine Club off the top spot for podcasts.

An anonymous group releases damning information that undermines and damages Thrasher's monopoly over skate videos. Free skate mag is suspected of being the source and a new media war begins. Again the bunt play the side line and win overall.

Been watching this video a lot lately and think females are just on the cusp of being there but maybe not next year. General rail size = pretty much yes. General tricks =yeah getting there. The same tricks on the same size rails = not just yet. By 2024-25 I think they'll pretty much have it only prob is best female rail/tech skaters are mostly contest based. And obviously(before anyone complains) rail skating isn't the only thing that matters, just it's the main element of dying to live. (Also soz for getting a bit autistic with what was probably a light general comment)

This would actually be pretty sick if executed properly. Bangers edited to roars of laughter/the punchline of a joke

There was a really funny slam section in an old Exit skate shop video that was set to Dave Chapelle talking about Sesame Street. It was hilarious, if I can find it I’ll link.

99% sure they do. I've tried pairs that range from Tom penny thru hank Hill until being basically 511s (whatever character that is maybe classic Clint Eastwood) I get the same thing with Dickies 874s too tho.

If you buy Levi’s online they’re made somewhere else compared to the Levi’s stores. The stuff at the store is very consistent and made better. You can visibly see the difference comparing the 2 actually. Even then sometimes you can take a the pairs of a size out of the stack and some will be bigger or smaller. Just what happens with mass production but solved with a bit of sorting. A store employee kindly walked me through this once.

Yes. Called a double front and been around, just not that common. I swear I had Carhartts in the 90’s that were double all the way to the waist. I always get holes above the double part, but they’re pretty well gone by then.

Edit-you mean all the way around. Never mind.

Legitimately cackling at this.

Re: the Levi's discussion I completely missed, the 501 and 505 are the same exact cut, the only difference is that 501s have a button fly and 505s have a zip fly.  Also, they do periodically change the cut of 501/505s for seemingly no reason, and if you want a roomier 501 the '93 Straight is my preference.  I have somewhat burly legs and once broken in they fit like a pair of pants that aren't too snug or too loose anywhere, they just kind of go with the line of your leg and it looks like absolute classic straight leg jeans shit.

Still probably never going to quit skating in Carhartt double front workpants though.

levi's quality control is all over the place and so is their manufacturing. like literally all over the place in terms of having factories in like 15 different countries. go to your favorite local department store and try on 10 pairs of the "same" cut/size/color-- they will all fit differently. and yeah, they change from season to season as well.

Shit. should have said Philly female rappers like Eve or Charli Baltimore. I'm sure mark did the statistics and realized he hasn't been skating to enough women. He can move them to the fore. Do some spinny shit down a mini rail at Ninth and Poplar to Let Me Blow Your Mind. Something like that.

Ryan Lay?

Back to the Levi's talk - I've been on a 505 kick for the last few years, but just bought a few more pairs back in like October including a green canvas feeling pair. I've been pretty much solely wearing them when skating lately aside from maybe dickies here and there. Also as said before 505s and 501s are the same fit only difference is a zipper fly.

I buy them a size or two bigger than I'd usually buy and they're perfect, but I've been eating pretty good lately so I guess I'm wearing close to my regular size now. Great fit though. Not too baggy, not too slim. Very normal looking pants so I don't feel ridiculous.

Edit: here's me skating in 505s in the snow back in February

Full on ska-offspring-smashmouth-guy fieri-ish outfits worn non ironically.

To match the 90s comeback sls etc will only pay the same prize money that was on offer in the 90s. Rather than build courses they will just make low hubbas and rails on pre existing stair sets and have a completely flavorless version of bust or bail.

Venture is going to continue to rise.

Most Skateparks will crumble because there's just not enough concrete in the world to maintain all that's been put down. They will become more legit in doing so.

Street skating gets better. Contests get worse until they are inevitably cancelled for fronting on about not being down with pay inequality.

Louie Lopez will take soty this year. I have faith.

Covid PTSD becomes the dominant force on earth making skaters closer and less likely to fuck with non skaters creating a new firmer core.

I become the world greatest recovery coach and also become TM for some core brand. I work remotely from the road and bring all my friends along for the big win.

I buy a home and start an open haus we're everyone can be happy and safe.

Clothing style is anything goes. People will only care about your personality.

im not smart enough to articulate this in a more coherent way but i feel like the darkslide clip serves as a gateway to the trung part. when i saw it on qs top 10 i thought shit like ‘who is this kid? darkslide? crazy kit? element board? skating to natalie imbruglia? i gotta check this shit out’

These red chukka boots are going to make you the biggest name on vans. The time is right for this. You will be one of 3 with footage in these and you will live.

Looks like the land your trick, look mad and disgusted, and shoot your board out into who knows where trend is carrying over from last year.
Who started this one?
It's funny how often I see it lately.
And it's one thing when someone has been battling a trick for hours. But I recently witnessed some kid doing it at the skatepark, after landing something first try.

Purple pants are the truth. I rock the Dickies x Villani Gothic Purple cord trousers. Most people think it looks ridicolous but what do they know.  ;D

Purple (or green,orange, whatever) color pants can work fine you just have to only wear everything else black, white, grey or maybe navy. Altho that should be pretty much how an adult dresses anyway. Max one color item, rest plain.

Also used to do a ton of running and have family that still does and is part of the scene or whatever you'd call it. Running is really not that good for you. Sure you get some cardio but our bodies weren't really designed for it. You see all the runners talking about their constant injuries/problems and looking ten times worse than Reynolds after wallenburg or whatever after just their weekend run. Cycling would probably be way better if one can avoid the taint damage. (Or is the cycling cancer relation just a myth?)

I’m not sure about the relation between cycling and cancer, sounds dubious, but taint damage can be real but after you ride enough you build up resistance and develop better form.

not predictions but observations, nothing about fashion because i have no drip:

trick to landing on curb/grinding curb
smith grind flips
roll on grinds
switch front shuv officially replaced switch heel afterbang
switch tre in your part or ur trash

Front smith to any flip should be punishable by law. 10 lashings. Also Jorts are sick.

I used to run competitively, and one of my good buddies also ran and skated. After a few years we both couldn't handle the knee stress anymore. Both of us gave up running when we got to college in favor of skating. Super tough to do both.

I don’t know about running, but it’s clear that a few big time pros in SoCal have got heavily into cycling. Balanced with skating, it’s probably better on the knees and ankles than running.

I can get behind cycling as a form of activity/exercise, but please... do not go full spandex with all the bike brand logos and such! I get it... they're dressed like that to reduce drag, but if you're not cycling at the competitive level, it really doesn't amount to much and those guys look ridiculous! Geez... 35+ year olds with pear bottoms and puddin' bellies! WTF guys... just throw on a light Tee and athletic shorts and enjoy your bike ride.

I hear you but if you're cycling over 25 miles... that shit can really keep you comfortable. I tend to put cut off Dickies over my lycra bib (more for other people's benefit than mine) but if I'm going on a full on mission, you might catch me full on lycra'd out. Apologies in advance, if you see me.

It’s not to reduce drag. The padding in your shorts prevents chafing and sores on your pelvis. Those fucking suuuuuck. A Jersey helps with overheating. You’re never going to look cool and it’s far more comfortable. No more ridiculous than wearing the current on trend pants.

When I go past the local spots in London half the time there's no one there, and I know shops aren't selling as much. The covid shut down was a peak, but has everyone got bored? Added costs due to inflation as well.

Still seems to be popping where I am. One thing I will say is that, in my area, the rollerskating trend seems to have taken the wind out of the sails of a lot of the women's and girl's skateboarding that was happening a year or two ago.

monk hair + dress up like a kung fu skate monk

About 10 years ago, there was a fully blown skateboarding monk who would be spotted regularly at parks around the city I live in.

He lived in a monastery about an hour out of town and would come to the city to skate - in his full length robe, which would sometimes get tangled around his shoes and shit.

He was a British guy, mid 30s, really nice dude and actually ripped. He had good three flips and pressure flips.

One time, my friend did a neat trick and the monk dude was so impressed, he gave him some kind of little religious medallion.

Couldn't find it just now, but the local newspaper wrote a story about him at the time.

Story goes that in his younger days, he was a sponsored skater in the UK. Then he found God and the rest is history.

I hope he's still skating.

Wheels get wider.

Nerds on Slap start saying things like they only ride 52x39mm wheels with a 28mm contact patch.

Wheels get so wide you have to ride narrower trucks to not have your super wide wheels stick out from under your deck.

A Slap thread is started to calculate the optimal truck and wheel combinations for any given deck width.

Did a little more sleuthing and managed to track down the story, but the photo seems to have been removed.

I did, however, manage to dig up this pic of him: https://imgur.com/a/PYxUkUj

His name is Gabriel Cortes and, according to the story, he was born in New Hampshire, USA. I'm sure he had a British accent though, so I'm guessing he grew up there.

Can't remember what shoes he skated, but there's a pretty good view of them in that photo. Can't make out what they are, but maybe someone else can.

I do remember that he always skated blank decks.

About 10 years ago, there was a fully blown skateboarding monk who would be spotted regularly at parks around the city I live in.

He lived in a monastery about an hour out of town and would come to the city to skate - in his full length robe, which would sometimes get tangled around his shoes and shit.

He was a British guy, mid 30s, really nice dude and actually ripped. He had good three flips and pressure flips.

One time, my friend did a neat trick and the monk dude was so impressed, he gave him some kind of little religious medallion.

Couldn't find it just now, but the local newspaper wrote a story about him at the time.

Story goes that in his younger days, he was a sponsored skater in the UK. Then he found God and the rest is history.

I hope he's still skating.

This anecdote is sick. What shoes did he skate

Did a little more sleuthing and managed to track down the story, but the photo seems to have been removed.

I did, however, manage to dig up this pic of him: https://imgur.com/a/PYxUkUj

His name is Gabriel Cortes and, according to the story, he was born in New Hampshire, USA. I'm sure he had a British accent though, so I'm guessing he grew up there.

Can't remember what shoes he skated, but there's a pretty good view of them in that photo. Can't make out what they are, but maybe someone else can.

I do remember that he always skated blank decks.

Here's the story (complete with mandatory cheesy headline): https://thewest.com.au/news/wa/heaven-is-a-half-pipe-for-friar-ng-ya-323828

Has his own company these days. Unsurprisingly rides a 7.5 on tensors. Nice guy but he can be a little preachy.

Dont understand all the small board hysteria on here lately. I never see a board bigger than 8.25 out anywhere, not at spots, barely any on the wall at Labor here, or in any of the drops "cool" companies I'd like to skate put out. Feel like boards have been shrinking for the last five years. Watching new videos you'd think the only options were 8 inch popsicles or huge throwback fishtails, with no inbetween. Tall guys, hesh guys, young, old, European plaza guys, west coast rail chompers, Canadians - tiny boards. 8.5 is dying

It just makes more sense to skate small boards honestly. I skated many shaped decks and popsicles 8.5" and up for many years after the mid 2000s and have recently went back down to 8"-8.25". Everything is naturally popped higher and takes way less effort, and in my experience I feel an 8.25 has that same easy fat catch as an 8.5" does. I only skate street though so there's that too.

People are scared but you can skate an 8.5 with 8 inch trucks (or even smaller) and get the benefits of both worlds. Boards lighter and wants to flip faster but has a bit more room to land on.

No idea where you’re seeing that other than aging slap guys who need to lighten their load. 8.25 - 8.5 is still by far the most common range.

Pros who were on 8s bumped it up to 8.25 (Suciu, Ribeiro, P Rod, Malto)

Plenty of tech street guys rocking 8.5 these days. (Dilo, Knox, Max Palmer)

Both Ishod and Reynolds ride 8" trucks on wider boards. It makes everything easier.

Also you can go to the shop and pick out any deck from 8 to 8.5 based on graphic, concave, wheelbase, or anything else other than the deck width. So many options...

Never have etnies been really popular where I live. Nowadays almost every third skater at the park is wearing etnies shoes.

I feel the Marana has a lot to answer for, regarding the Etnies renaissance.

Etnies has currently the best lineup from Sole Tech for me which is crazy. I was always a Emerica & éS guy but right now I feel like both are kinda fucking up while Etnies has some cool shoes out. I think I bought my first pair of Etnies last year.

Is anyone else beyond 100% done with collabs? Just saw an ad for the DC x Star Wars Kalis vulc.  I understand all of this kind of stuff is just a money grab for the companies involved but it’s so corny.  Element Star Wars decks, DC Star Wars shoes… collabs already cheapen the creative and artistic direction of skate products enough - at least collab with something that hasn’t already been collabed with by another company.

The only good collabs are things like etnies/Michelin where it actually makes sense to make a better product. But there's a million nerds now who just buy anything of a known franchise so it makes sense for DC to make some star wars shit that will be instantly bought. DC shoes X DC comics seems like it would make a bit more sense tho. Maybe too obvious

Ever since @TwisT postee those mid windrows I’m a normal colorway I been keeping my eye out for them to cut the E off and wear. Which got me looking at the etnies site. Joslin vulc looks good too and some others. I had some of their cup slips and they was nice the Michelin sole never went bald for me but I ruined them by working in them

I think DC comics sued them back in the day, assuming there might still be bad blood... could see some cool colorways if they did collab...

in 2005 DC comics (warner media) decided they were gonna sue DC shoes for their "DC" mark. In doing so they discovered they actually had never claimed the mark but DC shoes did. They now regularly cut a check to DC shoes.
