#The Weekly Grind - April 14, 2026
chilly pier
Let’s get to it!
What’s going on?
It’s time to hit the Nike SB Pop-Up event on Isle of Grom - at NIGHT! Open access, Nike SB, a Nike SB park on the barge, and nighttime - let’s go! We brought Nike SB to skate. From April 14 - May 5, and have turned off the sun on the Isle of Grom from April 14 - June 2. For more details on the event, check the blog. (Make sure to complete all the Nike SB tasks to claim your free black Nike SB socks, Nike SB sticker, and Nike SB Dunk Highs.)
Don’t forget: Keep sharing your bug/issues so we can squash ‘em flat.
Our Dark Tricks video contest is done - we’ve reached out to the winners (and it was really difficult to select only 15 because there were so many sick clips) to get their decks shipped. We’ll be updating skate.REEL with the clip and working with the winners to get the files to make our first set of community video reels. Stay tuned!
Let’s dive right into the calendar.

But that’s not all! From now until June 2, 2026, hit the Extravert Store to get your FOUR free community-created t-shirts. These were created from members of our very own skate community - @urban beacon, @nocturne mirage, and @lilac birch - winners of the T-shirt design challenge.
More content from the skate. community!
As usual, we wanted to share a few pieces of content that caught our eye. Remember: if you want to possibly be featured in The Weekly Grind, make sure to share yours (screenshots, videos, clips) via skate.reel.
This week, we’re highlighting the Dark Tricks Contest winners clips, so check ‘em out!

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.
**Developer’s Note: **We’re seeing a small volume of crashes on PC related to 13th and 14th Gen Intel Processors.
This is a thermal hardware issue with Intel processors, which Intel patched back in 2024, but if you were affected and didn’t download the patch in time, your CPU may be permanently damaged. This issue can cause crashes with high load applications, like video games. You can read more about the issue here and download a diagnostic tool here to see if your PC has this issue.
Fixed on April 14:
- Double grind glitches are harder to perform.
- The Green Machine title is missing from the inventory after being claimed.
- Seasonal Challenges on Isle of Grom's map are displaying the wrong icon.
- Workaround: Restarting skate sometimes fixes all or some of the icons.
