  • New Events:

    • Skate-o-Ween (Oct. 21 – Nov. 11): Skate-o-Ween in San Van is a lighthearted Halloween celebration that’s less about the spook and more about getting a chuckle, creating an inventive costume and just skating in a fun outfit.

    • 7-Ply Maple Harvest (Nov. 18 – Dec. 2): The annual San Van 7-Ply Maple Harvest is a long-standing festival celebrating the city’s unique maple trees; in the 70s, skaters discovered that the trees’ wood were perfectly suited for skateboard construction. It’s a community tradition rooted in accomplishments, growth, and reflection.

  • New Challenges and Tasks: Season 1 will introduce 40 new Challenges that will rotate in and out weekly. Players can also take on all-new daily, weekly, seasonal and event Tasks to earn Tix and unlock fresh rewards.

  • New Brand Partners and Soundtrack Additions: New brands are joining the in-game store, including NHS’s Santa Cruz, Independent and Creature. Season 1 also brings 21 new songs with a 90’s vibe – featuring tracks from Bad Religion, Dinosaur Jr., Ice Cube and more. The full track drops soon!
