Trendwatch 2022

[Madam, I'm Adam]

Luan did a switch three shove in his battle at the berrics game, genesis did one in the limo vid, I just saw Brian peacock post one in his stories…is 2022 possibly the year of the switch three shove? About fucking time if so.

Barefoot skateboarding at your local
Saying a prayer in your hat
Hot coco ceremony
Making your Coffee/tea fresh at the skatepark
Pic nics
Removable Tail/nose guards made out of hard bamboo
Cities will actually pay skaters to build Diy's
1st skate slope Park with rope tow to the top

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)

Great. how many times would you like to ride the circle jerk machine?

I’m not very in touch with trends but I just spray painted some slightly skated Emericas and got a dipped board (Quasi) for the first time since middle school the other day haha wow.

[somefucker]

seen madness release some boards with some marbled everslick-type material. cool take on an older board technology.

slick rails built into the bottom ply?

[R3dBullRox420]

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.

I can picture it... crailtap dropping a small left field artsy brand called Furry Calamari

Adidas originals just previewed a Yeti tracksuit so furry appropriation could def be in the cards for skateboarding

Puffy over-tech shoes and 7.5" decks?

Smaller decks are 100% coming back, or back already. Reaction to the 9" shit that everyone was riding a few years ago. Fat Bill just posted a photo of Tyshawn with his 8" deck and 7.75" trucks.

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

[Dwyck]

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

[winecrab]

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.

[Dwyck]

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

Hacky-sacking and fat corduroy pants

This. I guess we're following the same people on instagrm.

[Síota]

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)
