[p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]The folks in San Vansterdam are more about fun than fright, so Skate-o-Ween isn’t your traditional Halloween festival. San Van’s gotten a spooky makeover, with plenty of eerie vibes and room to flex some of your wildest style. Stomp those tricks, earn some treats, and unlock new rewards that scream Halloween—think creepy-cool costumes, spooky slip-ons, haunted hoodies, and more. Discover more in the shop to trick out your style and shred till you’re dead. 

[/p][h2]Skate-o-Ween runs from Oct 21, 2025 to November 11, 2025. [/h2][p]
What’s in the event? First, we’re updating the community parks. [/p][p]
Here’s a peak at one of the updated parks, located in Gullcrest Village.
[/p][p]We’ll be adding new Event tasks every week for a total of three weeks. However, don’t worry, the previous week’s tasks will remain available until the end of Skate-o-Ween. Complete the event tasks to earn Chocolate coins (the event currency) to get yourself Skate-o-Ween gear, customization, and Build Kit items.
[/p][p]What are some of the event tasks? Some are pretty easy, like “Land 15 Hippy Jumps”. More intermediate tasks would be like “Earning Score in Sequences that include a Coffin”. For a harder challenge, we’ve got tasks like “Land Sequences with a Body Flip at Skate-O-Ween Community Parks”. 
[/p][p]We’ve also got Event Challenges like Skate the Web (Line), Dreadful Drop (Stunt), Ghostly Grind (OTS), and Sinister Sprinfest (Session). But that’s just a few. Throw down some tricks to get those treats.[/p][p]
Not only can you earn Chocolate coins, but we’ll have a First Login reward cosmetic and daily free event currency for you to grab from the in-game store. [/p][p]A sample of the gear includes the Green or Red Witch Mask, new gestures like the Zombie, profile backgrounds, such as Bad Luck, that can be purchased in the event store, and props like Jack-o'-Lanterns and Tombstones.

[/p][p][/p][p]Get in, have some fun in the updated community parks, earn some Chocolate coins, and score some Skate-o-Ween gear and props.[/p][p][/p][p]We’ll be dropping the 7-Ply Maple Harvest Event info soon. [/p][p][/p][p]See you in San Vansterdam,[/p][p][/p][p]The skate. Team[/p]

[p]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.[/p][p][/p][p]Let’s dive into our very first The Weekly Grind.[/p][p][/p][p]What’s going on?


Last week we launched Season 1 for skate., and dropped the blog and the Season 1 trailer.[/p][p]If you missed it, here’s that trailer again:[/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][p]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.
