Welcome back to The Weekly Grind, San Vanners! Let’s roll!
What’s going on?
Well, first things first: X Games San Van is HERE! That’s right - the Stadium has been updated for the X Games San Van event, running from July 21 - Aug 25. Become a legend, crush the competition in Spot Battles to climb to the top of the leaderboards, and get some sick X Games gear. Don’t forget: Stadium access is OPEN - meaning no Rip Chips or skate.Premium Pass needed. Check out the blog for more details.
(quick note: if you can't get into the Stadium when you first log in, restart the game.)
We worked with our friends at Vansta on a community-created X Games San Van trailer. Check it out!
The Deck UGC Contest we’re hosting in the official skate. Discord ends on Thursday, so get your digital pens to digital paper and share your design. Rules, etc. can be found here.
Don’t forget: Keep sharing your bugs/issues so we can squash ‘em flat.
Let’s dive right into the calendar.
