2026 Skate Predictions

[formula420]

Not a prediction, but I would like to see a shared part where all the clips are back to backs / simultaneous.

Not exactly the same, but those dweebs Richie and Melcher have something along those lines. It's set to Johnny Cash and Strummer's version of Redemption Redemption Song, where the nonce duo skates to Cash/Strummer part each and side vy side on shared parts of the song.

Yes. Yes, I am ashamed I know that.

More and more people follow Shecks' arc and entirely give up core/traditional skate sponsors and go the influencers' route with shitty sneakers brands and teamless board companies.

Chad Knight has been working with Chad Muska on bringing Muskas shoe to market (again?).  What was interesting is that The Knight was talking about how The Muska owns the silhouette and is really just outsourcing the construction of the shoe.  He sees a possible future where skaters own their own shoe, there is no shoe brand sponsoring them, and they just get connected in with factories that bring their design to life.  Im butchering this from memory but thats the gist of it, that skaters could opt for less brand sponsorship and be the brand themselves.

I’d like to see pro boards mean something again like they did before my time. Have graphics (and shapes) associated with one rider that stick around for several years instead of releasing generic shapes with throwaway graphics quarterly.

Give me a Diego Todd board that he actually helped design and skates on a daily basis instead of an $80 BBS blank with some random heat transfer of a blurry photograph.

If boards are gonna be upwards of $70 I think we deserve a little more personality than the shite companies are churning out lately. 

[sfa]

a whole bunch of people are gonna lose contracts this year.

support the brands and the skaters you like, cause it's about to be more important than maybe ever.

100% agree. its so hard for me to find a board i wanna ride these days cause 95% of the graphics fucking suck. would rather just skate blanks at this point.

I'm going for skateboarding to become popular again.

Anecdata alert: Here in London I've noticed a load of 13-16 year old types skating about, trying kickflips, that sort of level. Adidas shoes seem to be in for them.

A skateboarder gets murdered by ICE on film and becomes a viral flashpoint.   Trump orders all skateparks bulldozed.

I think the odds are genuinely pretty good we'll see a skater involved in a physical altercation with an ICE incel...side rant, I just can't bring myself to call them "agents", that's too official of a term for a bunch of out of shape, dickless neckbeards cosplaying as Navy Seals while they storm a suburban Target in ill-fitting military surplus tactical gear to assault a teenager because he has tan skin.

I don't even like calling them "thugs", that makes them sound strong and scary, they'd welcome that.
I prefer ICE cowards, ICE incels, ICE shitbags, ICE virgins, etc.
Anything they can't rebrand as a badge of honor.

Unfortunately likely. Lots of fat trimming this year.
