Welcome back to The Weekly Grind, San Vanners and Gromites!  Let’s roll!

What’s going on?

Last week we dropped the Dev Update, with some hints about a new area coming in S4, updated lighting, finger flips, and the increase of earnable SVB through skate. Premium Pass (you can earn up to 1,500 SVB by completing the skate. Premium Pass and bonus pages).

Our Nike SB Pop-Up Event has ended - and the barge has reverted. We’re going through the submissions for the Nike SB Pop-Up UGC contest, and we’ll be reaching out to finalists in the coming weeks to verify eligibility and lock them in to announce our winners.

Update 0.30.7 rolled out today, with some fixes to music, late flips, and stability issues.

Don’t forget: Keep sharing your bug/issues so we can squash ‘em flat.

Let’s dive right into the calendar.

More content from the skate. community!

As usual, we wanted to share a few pieces of content that caught our eye. Remember: if you want to possibly be featured in The Weekly Grind, make sure to share yours (screenshots, videos, clips) via skate.reel. 

 

Part of The Weekly Grind will be dedicated to sharing current Known Issues the team is tracking for bugs & issues, any active deployments/fixes, and next steps.

Developer’s Note: We’re seeing a small volume of crashes on PC related to 13th and 14th Gen Intel Processors. This is a thermal hardware issue with Intel processors, which Intel patched back in 2024, but if you were affected and didn’t download the patch in time, your CPU may be permanently damaged. This issue can cause crashes with high load applications, like video games. You can read more about the issue here and download a diagnostic tool here to see if your PC has this issue.

Fixed on May 5:

• Fixed an issue where music could distort when entering and exiting Challenges.
• Fixed an issue where Late Flips were not landing as intended in certain scenarios.
• Fixed various stability issues.
