Welcome back to The Weekly Grind.
Let’s get to it!
What’s going on?
Winter Roll-stice ended today - but the Winter Roll-stice store is open until tomorrow, so make sure to spend your Snowflakes before they melt!
The ImpervaTEK parks return with their updated style, featuring woodgrain instead of the traditional yellow/blue colors. Visit the parks, share your feedback, and let us know how we can continue to improve them.
On Tuesday, Jan 6, 2026, the adidas/Gonz hoodie hit the store at 900 SVB. This was a mistake in pricing and was adjusted on Friday, Jan 10, 2026 to 500 SVB. We're pulling details of everyone who paid 900 SVB and have issued automatic refunds of 400 SVB for those players.

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.
Recent Fixes:
Daily Task "Sequence with 2 180 Flip Tricks in Market Mile" cannot be completed.
Fix: Implemented on January 6. Rip Chips and Tix granted.
Known Issues Still Being Investigated:
Players are unable to progress through tutorial challenges while subtitles are turned off.
Workaround: Use the Accessibility Settings via the title menu to turn subtitles on.
The player loses SVB while purchasing TIX and receives an unwanted item.
Completing standard Challenges incorrectly counts as though you completed a Winter Roll-Stice challenge.
Rarely, after teleporting to another player, the player will stop seeing traffic, pedestrians and other players.
Players claiming missing Founders and Deluxe items.
Players gradually become invisible after a certain period of gameplay.
The score multiplier takes a lot longer to drain on a loaded game server than on an empty one.
During the Stop, Quick Drop, and Roll Mission, the fliptrick over cars criteria doesn't seem to track until after you complete all of the other criteria.
Often during the tutorial, if you wipeout during the Ollie Course, Vee's line about being off board will loop infinitely.
Workaround: Restarting skate. has been reported to fix this issue.
Exported videos are longer than their displayed in-game length.
There is an additional stuttering issue present when using the replay editor in-game, noticeable as skipped frames.
Sometimes, putting the game on full screen and leaving it minimized for three or four minutes will prevent the player from re-opening it until the game is restarted.
Often, the “Team Up, Throw Down” mission does not end until the player untracks and retracks the mission.
The player needs to press the Back button two times for the missions menu to close.
The Throwdowns queue timer freezes after all other players leave the queue.
When logging out in a community park and logging again, the tasks won´t count.
Rarely, when interacting with a player and joining their party, you will accidentally join another player’s party.
The speech-to-text feature does not transcribe the words correctly.
Rarely, the Back button has no functionality, and the player cannot exit the Replay Editor.
Stuck on Isle of Grom
We’ve previously pushed out a fix so that new players won’t run into this issue, and have continued to help skaters that are stuck so they can enter San Vansterdam. If you still can’t take the ferry, please report it in our mega thread.
