Update: Upcoming Skate Video Game Looks Promising
If you came here to check up on Skate 4, sorry, no news on that front. They’re still working on it with no updates since last summer, but we’re not giving up hope. We can’t.
But if you’re in the mood for something very different, OlliOlli World is set to drop on 2/8/22 for Nintendo Switch. The creators of the game had a great chat with NME the other day, talking about how this installment focuses more on accessibility and inclusion than its predecessors. The whimsical 2D graphics with a bit of an early 2000’s Adventure Time vibe might not be the most realistic, but somehow OlliOlli World taps into the essence of skating. If the trailer is any indication, this is going to be a fun one.
And speaking of great video games, DC’s latest episode of NorthUnda with Aleka Lang features some sick graphics – uh, we mean, video editing – in this game-inspired, very 90’s clip. Have a peek.

Dickies Fire Station Skate Plaza Opens with a Demo from Pros
Jamie Foy, Jake Hayes, Guy Mariano, Mike Anderson, Christian Henry, Dylan Jaeb, Vincent Alvarez, Adrian Adrid, and Franky Villani graced the grand opening of the Dickies Fire Station Skate Plaza with a demo.
The skatepark in Fort Worth, TX, took a decade in the making. The project started with a group of passionate Fort Worth skaters, with Magnolia Skateshop at the forefront, raising $80,000 to build a one-of-a-kind skate plaza and concrete pump track.
Near Southside, Inc. also pitched in and it was able to secure a $300,000 donation from VF Foundation, the nonprofit arm of VF Corporation which owns Dickies among other brands.
With additional support from the City of Fort Worth, the project was made possible. Now skaters of all levels can enjoy this awesome new spot in the city!
