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

First furry focused board company will release a video called “What Yiff?”. It will have many top pros doing Chomp On This style goofery in animal suits.

Ig 2012 sean malto clean cut skater boy aesthetic is next
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.

safety hands will be acceptable in clips
hands down is a make (if youre nak)
rise in early grab to handrail tricks for a few months
varial kickflip becomes more popular than treflip (again)

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

-
Skateboarders have always worn workwear like dickies and carhartt, but 2022 will be the year when it goes a step further with hi viz shirts, vests, etc.
Skate shoes will take on a work boot silhouette.
Bonus is that You can wear a high viz vest into a lot of situations and basically do what ever the fuck you want with no one thinking much of it
-
no influencers, no dunk craze, no bigboys, no BATB, and Limosine will take over

That’s very true. Look ever so slightly pissed off and busy and you can pretty much get away with whatever. People will just think you’re some contractor and will be too afraid of looking foolish to say anything.

Based on the limosine video alone:

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

Underflips. Basically every illegal trick performed in Almost Round 3 is on the table

Instagram is gonna be less of a thing hopefully. I read an interview with the CEO where he says there's gonna be some big changes like more ads, they get to use your photos/videos for whatever they want and they basically wanna make it more like TikTok. I think TikTok is gonna be the new thing. A lot of pros are already embracing it.
-
IG is simultaneously dying as the 'cool' platform as it is becoming the de facto space for all social interaction. It's weird. But expect more pros to post once a month and get tagged in their filmer or sponsors stories occasionally. Not everyone can or will post everyday like Shaun Powers

If you use Instagram in your browser instead of the app there is no ads and posts are in chronological order, so much better.. I can definitely see it slowly dieing out thou.

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)

Same. Don't want a bunch of dogs getting hit in the face because their owner or owner's kid has more thirst for clout than skating ability.

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.

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.

I have nothing to add here, solid agreement
-
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.

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

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.

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’
i am expecting a 90s/00s pop songs revival in skate videos
also, decathlon skateboards will be big after they release they full length vid with some french big names like salabanzi

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.

ive been skating moodier lately too. maybe it’s season affective disorder or something.. lots of light thumps on my head after landing stuff

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.

In my house, after installing the bidet, it takes a little more than a year to finish off a 48-pack roll of toilet paper. The government should have a WPA-style program putting people to work installing bidets in every home in the US.

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

the jorts trend will perculate out and non-stylish people will be rocking them and it will look not good
I don't get the jorts hate
Well a) they look like shit. Nobody has ever looked even close to good in them. B) completely defeats the purpose of both jeans and shorts.

Jokes aside skaters becoming runners is gonna be massive
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.

Is skateboarding heading for a dip again?
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.

The green boards from Yeah Right will make a comeback but with a twist. Only the trucks and wheels will be green so they can easily be keyed out in post production. All future skate videos/clips will look like hover board videos to fool the non skating public.

Oh well yeah, homie has a fade with some goop in his hair. I initially thought punisher haircuts was coming from the show punisher, not the super corny brand.

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.
This anecdote is sick. What shoes did he skate
How to reject material objects but still be into skate gear.
I’m seeking higher being.

https://www.reddit.com/r/skateboarding/comments/oya70z/skateboarding_buddhist_monk/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x
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.

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.

Is 8.25 w/ 149s considered “small” now?

8.25” 8.125” and 8” all get me discriminating jabs at the skatepark like “is this a child’s board?” “You skating a tech deck?” “Your small board is inadequate”

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...

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.
