As mentioned in The Grind Vol: 6, we’re shifting The Grind from a monthly article to a weekly newsletter. With that shift, we’re also updating the content, so The Weekly Grind will be the spot for weekly news, community content sharing (screenshots and videos), tracked known issues, and upcoming updates.
Let’s dive into our very first The Weekly Grind.
What’s going on?
Last week we launched Season 1 for skate., and dropped the blog and the Season 1 trailer.
If you missed it, here’s that trailer again:
We’ve seen a lot of content from the community, from crazy NBD videos, IRL vs. in-game clips, and some sick screenshots. Here’s a few we saw from the community, and if you want to possibly be featured in The Weekly Grind, make sure to share yours (screenshots, videos, clips) via skate.reel.
