2023 Skate/Trend Predictions

[sprained_ankle]

What y'all think?

I think 2023 will be the year of Jack O'Grady (wishful thinking).

Big boys will fall out of fashion and people will wear more relaxed fit pants.

[modern life is war]

Skinny jeans will come back with the teenagers but only the most deranged adult skaters will wear them again

I think you're on point with the relaxed fit pants becoming more the norm, kinda already shifting that way. Hoping the skinnies don't come back but if that does happen I doubt it would be an overnight change, probably gonna happen more gradually like it did with baggies.

But then again trends come and go quicker than ever with the social media boom last 5-6 years so what do I know

I appreciate how shamelessly Jenkem mines Slap for content.

My prediction is that we will see some serious shakeouts in the industry. Everyone's account is the same - skateboard companies went hog wild ordering decks and other gear after the initial Covid shortage, which peaked early, and are now sitting on hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars in aging inventory. I wouldn't be surprised if a big brand like Dwindle falls on seriously hard times. Going to be another year of dirt cheap skateboard decks available online.

Bunch of these are already happening

Penny's form will continue to improve

Nice username dude - just recovering from sprained ankle injury atm. O’Grady got it in the bag 🔥

[EllingtonBigspin]

By the end of 2023...
Everyone will be skating Fallen and Supra again
Everyone will be dressing like 2000s Greco
Everyone will film in VX and drop the whole HD Strobeck style of filming that is soooo played
And finally....
Doobie will be crowned SOTY 2023 by Burnett himself

[sle_epy]

Berra's will not

I hope because the way penny looks when he skates these days is sort of distressing 96% of the time. Looks like neurological tics or smthng.

You guys are way too harsh in Penny in 2023, he put out some great footy for eS last year!

No harsh intended for my part, genuinely stoked for him

[landedprimo]

We're going to see a lot more people strength training and taking care of their bodies. Especially in the contest world.
