I'll be 63 years old and well on my way to multiple Quasi reissues abandoned in an online shopping cart.

Trends will evolve so that not only is simpler better, but smaller will be better. slower will be better.  Crowds will gather to watch TK's joker face smile boardslide a skatepark 5 rail. People will shout "gang" as he alternates divorcing his wife, throwing his wedding band and then scuttling to pick it up and re-marry her over and over again. Shalom

Andy Howell will take over Element and return it to its purest form, Benjamin Button-style.

Ty Evans will win an Oscar, for best song. (That's right, he will revolutionize music too.)

In 20 years I'm going to mail in my free deck coupon form big brother.


and Tony hawk will put out a 70 part trick on his birthday.

Danny way will be working on the same part.

We will all be wishing we kept more decks from 2018 to sell on ebay as to buy water and fresh air.

Skateboards will have all their wheels in a straight line down the middle, and also every skateboard will come in two pieces and each piece will be in the form of a boot and you put one on each foot and every trick is renamed "Soul Grind".

I can sense that you have a good soul and have nothing to worry about in that department. 

As for me, the dirt on my hands is the kind that doesn’t wash of.

Chris Roberts will interview your former favorite skater about social security and prostate exams.


Stella Reynolds will be airing over Andrew in the bowl.

The first openly cyborg skateboarder will enter BATB 31 and come in second to Shane.

People will be talking about Instagram skating and trap edits in the same vain that people discuss EMB and Love Park today.

Nyjah will still be in the running for SOTY but will lose out to a carbon rod.

Wheels will be made of nanobots that will change diameters and durometers to suit riding surfaces. Deck bolts  will come with micro drones that will track its users at a perfect distance recording and transmitting your every move directly to social media. There will only be tan chinos and white T-shirt’s available in all brands. Food and water portions will be determined by your online social status. There will be 2 religions, Ren and Stimpy, Beavis and Butthead. ALL WILL COMPLY.

Probably will be a few well overdue deaths related to skating big shit, it will open some eyes and skating will do a small shift backwards.

Visual reality will replace skateboarding altogether, as well as all other real world experience. Luddite skateboarders will wander wide and lonely streets, meeting on occasion to congratulate each other on knowing all that tech shit was gonna ruin the world. Mark Gonzales will ironically put out a full length on outdated holographic video technology.  Skating Porsches will become slightly less controversial, since no one leaves their house-bubbles anyway, and with no traffic hill bombing will extend to mountainous freeways, and no one gets a big head about it because no one will ever know about it unless you were there bro, but if you there, bro, you know it was totally epic. I still won't be able to smith grind, but my kids will so I mean, I created smith grinds that wouldn't have existed otherwise, which should count for something.
