Mid-Season Event
In Season 5, we’re bringing you the best of both worlds: the hustle of San Van, plus the perfect place to leave it all behind and see where the ride takes you. Introducing S.U.M.R. Camp: a mountain getaway built for big speed and big air.
Think massive gaps, expansive terrain, and brand new mega lines. Away from the city, it’s a chance to enjoy a session with killer tunes, good people, and plenty of room to ride.
Back in San Van, new and updated skateparks keep the action going closer to home. The Stadium is still open to explore, with Grom and S.U.M.R. Camp just a short ferry ride away, now easier to find with the Location Selector at the San Van Ferry Terminal. Check the chart below for access windows and details for S.U.M.R. Camp, The Stadium, and Isle of Grom.
As an added benefit to their pass, Season 5 skate.Premium Pass holders can access S.U.M.R. Camp early, from Sept 8 until Oct 6, 2026. From Oct 6 to Dec 1, those without skate.Premium can grab a 24-hour day pass to S.U.M.R. Camp for 500 Rip Chips (earnable through completing Challenges and Bounties). Unlimited access to The Stadium for Season 5 is also a benefit of the skate.Premium Pass, or you can get a 24-hour Day Pass for 250 Rip Chips. Isle of Grom will be General Access (skate.Premium Pass or 500 Rip Chips for a Day Pass) from Sept 8 to Oct 13, closed to prepare for an in-game event for a week, Open Access (no skate.Premium Pass or Rip Chips required) from Oct 20 to Nov 3, and then will return to General Access from Nov 3 to Dec 1.
Located across the bay as an escape from city noise, The Super Ultra Mega Resort (S.U.M.R.) Camp Mega Park is an all-new ultra mega-park built by skaters, for skaters to support year-round Big Air skateboarding development. The expansive terrain features Rocky Ramps, Tube Mountains, Rockbottom Lodge for visitor accommodations, and a peaceful Fishing Hole for recreation (and getting a run at the Lower Bowls below). It also integrates hazardous terrain like Bloody Gulch, a challenging run built around custom-carved rock formations.
Endless High-Speed Lines: Packed with massive ramps, intense speed, verticality, and over 30 unique paths down the mountain—it’s bigger and wilder than Skate 2 and Skate 3!
Pure Mountain Vibes: Reject the city noise, feel the high-altitude rush, and recenter your mind with big air and huge skies stretching from horizon to horizon.
City Councilor Slappy has gone missing! Work with fellow SVCC Member Izzy to uncover where Slappy went - and why - across 6 Weeks of Activities in this all-new story event at S.U.M.R. Camp.
Weeks 1-3 are available in update 32.0, each unlocking progressively each week (i.e. Sept 8, 15, and 22nd) when players complete the previous week.
Weeks 4-6 will arrive later in the Season during update 32.5
Players must have access to S.U.M.R. Camp to unlock the event, but it persists all season long, so it will be playable for all players once S.U.M.R. Camp enters general (non-early) access.
The event will not be available after Season 5 - so make sure you hop in and see what happens each week!
Blending Missions and Bounties into a single, seamless adventure where the story unfolds as you play. By delivering fully voiced narrative updates in real-time as you complete Bounties, you can stay fully immersed in the action without needing to track Missions or pause to read menus.
Coming mid-season with update 0.32.5, the team has built the sickest new street park in Hedgemont, along Blue Light Beach, called Parry Point Park.
As part of the Season 5 update, S.U.M.R. Camp elements and inspiration are spilling into San Van for the Block Party, giving the plaza a relaxed, rustic makeover.
Something is happening over at the old Hedgemont Community Park, as construction is kicking off in full swing. We’ll keep an eye on it and report back as the construction crews make progress.
Coming Sept 8, 2026, update 0.32.0 will have fixes, improvements, and tweaks; and we’ll have those patch notes for you to dive into on Sept 7, 2026.
To add more technical style to your sessions (and definitely up your steeze-factor), Underflips arrive in Season 5, and we’ve brought more than ever before!
There are 16 variations of Underflips that will be available for you:
Kickflip Underflip
Nollie Kickflip Underflip
Heelflip Underflip
Nollie Heelflip Underflip
FS Pop-Shuvit Underflip
Nollie FS Pop-Shuvit Underflip
BS Pop-Shuvit Underflip

Hospital Flip

Impossible Underflip

The team has continued to refine our core mechanics. For Season 5, we’ve upgraded footplants alongside a new set of Challenges and Bounties to feature them. Thanks to your feedback, we're able to keep pushing these improvements forward, with ongoing adjustments to ensure footplants feel smooth and natural across every situation in the world of skate.
With the release of 0.32.0 to kick off Season 5, there will be four variants of footplants to add to your skateboarding repertoire:
Judo Footplant
BS Footplant
FS Footplant
Fast Plant
Of course, as always, we’ll be updating Skatepedia so you have the info you need to master them.
As we shared in our Progression update blog, how you play, earn, and progress has gotten a major overhaul, starting with Season 5. As a quick refresher, the new Bounties system introduces Endless and Crew Bounties, while multiple progression paths and non-expiring challenges give you the freedom to play your way. You can tackle weekly Spotlight Challenges for extra rewards and continuously earn through the skate.Pass and new seasonal content.
We were excited to test Meetups: Block Parties at the end of Season 4. After some tuning, tweaks, and improvements based on community feedback, they’re coming back to Season 5 as an official mode. (The list of fixes and improvements will drop with the 0.32.0 Patch notes coming Sept 7, 2026.)
Mass-Player Social Events: Block Party is a mode that supports up to 150 players simultaneously in a casual yet competitive roaming skate contest.
Seamless Opt-In: Events trigger every 30 minutes (at :15 and :45) and allow instant drop-in/drop-out participation simply by skating into the event area—no queues or sign-ups required.
Dynamic Roaming Mechanics: Each event rotates across three randomized, connected locations across the city, creating a natural group parade between spots.
Varied Objectives & Late Comebacks: Challenges blend street, park, and vert objectives with randomized sequences, featuring late-round point multipliers that allow for big comeback wins.
Real-Time Leaderboards & Visual Crown: Tracks performance via active Round and Overall leaderboards, displaying top players alongside your immediate competition and highlighting the current round leader with an in-game crown.
Bounty-Based Progression: Players earn rewards by completing accessible Block Party bounties rather than needing a 1st-place finish, ensuring rewards are attainable for all skill levels.
Dropping in Season 5 with update 0.32.0, we’ll have four types of Meetups: Block Parties.
Invitational - the standard Block Party
Pro Comp - designed for those looking for more realistic, slower-paced competition that requires much more mastery of the trick library
Mixer - social challenges that give that party vibe for the more casual, relaxed San Vanner
Block Blitz - high-intensity battle in one location for those without a lot of time but want to get on that leaderboard
With X Games San Van in Season 4, we introduced Spot Battles. In Season 5, we’re giving you control of Spot Battles through the Throwdowns menu. When you open the Throwdowns menu, you’ll have 2 options: Skate Jam (the regular throwdown) or Spot Battles. Set the size and location, then get busy! Unlike Skate Jams, when in a Spot Battle, you’ll watch the other competitors.
In Season 5, we’ve partnered with some new brands that will hit the Extravert skate shop (and some you can grab through skate.Pass completion):
Converse
Baker
Deathwish
Online Ceramics
Primitive
Welcome
There / Unity
Krooked
Venture
In Season 5, we’ll have 13 new Seasonal and Event Challenges, 5 Missions, and over 300 Bounties – spread out through Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Block Party Bounties, Event Bounties, and 40 Endless Bounties.

Just like last season, there’s two bonus pages to the skate.Pass, enabling skate.Premium Pass members to earn up to 1,500 SVB (total) through completing the skate.Premium Pass. And, as an added benefit of the skate.Premium Pass for Season 5, you get unlimited access to S.U.M.R. Camp, the Isle of Grom, and The Stadium for the entire season.
skate.Premium Pass can only be obtained from the in-game store during the season in which it’s released. You can complete the Standard (free) track, upgrade to the Premium track for 1,000 SVB to get access to the Premium items, or get a bigger boost with skate.Premium Pass+ for 2,000 SVB, which will give you skate.Premium, plus 4,000 Tix to begin unlocking skate.Pass items.
Skate.Pass content requires gameplay and all game updates to unlock. Premium and Premium+ content also requires skate.Pass Premium or Premium+ (sold separately).
So what are the rewards in Season 5? Alright, let’s dive into what’s on the table for the Season 5 skate.Pass. You’ve got 110 tiers to cruise through (12 main pages + 2 bonus pages) - 37 tiers on the Standard track and 73 tiers waiting on the Premium side. Rack up 33 free cosmetic rewards and 4 SVB tiers on the Standard track, or go full send with Premium to unlock 60 more cosmetic rewards and 13 additional SVB tiers. That’s a total of 93 cosmetic items and 17 SVB tiers if you dive all the way into the skate.Premium Pass - earning up to 1,500 SVB by the time you cross the finish line.
The Season 5 skate.Pass is loaded with a ton of fresh gear built for endless sessions, including new decks, trucks, wheels, griptape, and stickers to fully customize your setup. We are also bringing fresh fits for your skater, from brand-new clothes and kicks to wild costumes, hats, fresh ink, and gestures, as well as gear from the likes of Baker, Deathwish, adidas, and Carpet Company so you can flex on the crew all season long. Top it all off with unlocks like profile banners and avatars to set the ultimate camp vibe whenever you roll through S.U.M.R. Camp!
The skate.Premium Pass track is delivering an iconic reward this season: the Sumo suit! Drop in, throw your weight around, and have some fun with it. When you're rolling in this gear, you are completely bouncy - hit a car and ricochet right off! Spread-eagle off a massive drop like a giant, squishy sumo wrestler and bounce right out of your landing.
