Finding Your Fortnite Skateboard Style: Gliders and Back Blings
Finding Your Fortnite Skateboard Style Gliders And Back Blings
Gliders: Your Airborne Skateboard
so Fortnite doesn't have actual skateboards you can ride around on yet. But guess what? You can still totally rock a skateboard vibe when you jump out of the Battle Bus! How? With gliders! Think of gliders like your superhero capes, but way cooler and shaped like skateboards. When you jump from the bus, instead of just floating down on some boring umbrella, you can cruise on a Skybound Longboard. It’s like you're doing a sick air trick right from the start of the match!
These skateboard gliders are not just flat pieces of wood either. They have different styles you can pick, so you can match your glider to your outfit. It is all about showing off your personality, right? It's kind of like choosing your snowboard - you want it to look awesome while you are carving down the mountain. Just like how to train like a snowboarder, you gotta have the right gear to look the part, even if it's just for gliding!
Back Blings: Skate Style on Your Back
Now, let’s talk about back bling. Back blings are like backpacks, but way more stylish and they hang on your back during the game. And you guessed it, Fortnite has a skateboard back bling! It’s called the Back Board, and it looks like you’re carrying a skateboard deck on your back. Imagine you're walking around, ready to bust out a kickflip at any moment - even if you can't actually kickflip in the game (sadly!).
- Back Board Back Bling: Epic rarity
- Unlockable Styles: "Decked out" and more
- Perfect for showing off your skate steez
This Back Board isn't just some plain old backpack. It’s got different styles you can open up, making it even more unique. Think of it as collecting different snowboarding gloves and mittens to match every snowboard outfit you have – but for your back! It’s the perfect way to tell everyone, "Hey, I’m a skater, even in Fortnite!"
Mix and Match Your Skate Look
Want to go full skater mode in Fortnite? Easy peasy. Just mix and match your skateboard glider with your skateboard back bling. Imagine soaring through the sky on your Skybound Longboard, with your Back Board showing off your skate style as you land. Boom! Instant skate legend, even if you are just running around shooting people with a pump shotgun.
Item | Type | Style |
---|---|---|
Skybound Longboard | Glider | Skateboard |
Back Board | Back Bling | Skateboard Deck |
Keep an eye on the Fortnite Item Shop because you never know when these skateboard goodies will pop up. Epic Games loves to bring back old favorites and add new stuff all the time. So, get ready to build your ultimate Fortnite skateboard style! Are you ready to shred... the sky... and the battlefield?
Shredding the (Creative) Park: Fortnite Skateboard Maps
Beyond Battle Royale: Skate Parks Exist!
so maybe Epic hasn't dropped skateboards into the main Battle Royale island yet. Bummer, I know! But hold your horses, skate fans, because there's a secret stash of skateboard fun hiding in Fortnite Creative. Think of Creative mode like a giant toy box where players can build their own worlds. And guess what? Loads of people have built insane skate parks in there! It's like finding a secret level in your favorite game, but instead of just one level, it's a whole universe of skate spots. If you are just getting started, maybe check out beginner snowboarding tips, the feeling of learning something new is the same!
Finding Your Perfect Grind Spot
Now, you might be wondering, "Where do I find these magical skate parks?". Easy! Fortnite Creative uses map codes – little number codes you punch in to teleport to different player-made islands. Loads of these codes will take you straight to skate parks. Some are chill and basic, perfect for just cruising around and getting the feel. Others are totally bonkers, with massive ramps, halfpipes that look like they were built by giants, and more rails than you can shake a stick at. It is like exploring different snowboarding boards and wax to find your perfect ride, there's a park for every style.
Want to examine in right now? Here are a few map codes to get you started:
- 2359-6231-1597
- 6752-7091-4623
- 3341-5304-2383
Practice Makes Perfect (in Pixels)
While we are all dreaming of rideable skateboards in Battle Royale, these Creative maps are the perfect place to get your virtual skate fix. Think of it as practice for when (fingers crossed!) Epic finally gives us boards in the main game. You can learn the layout of ramps, get used to the feeling of skating, and just have a blast with your friends without worrying about getting shot every five seconds. Who knows, maybe all this virtual practice will make you a real-life skate pro? maybe not, but it's still super fun. Ready to drop in?
The Future of Fortnite Skateboards: Rideable Boards?
The Future Of Fortnite Skateboards Rideable Boards
Rideable Boards: The Dream
visualize this: you’re dropping out of the Battle Bus, and instead of just gliding, you land on a skateboard. Not just any skateboard, but a tricked-out one with flames and glowing wheels. You start cruising around the map, grinding on rails, ollieing over obstacles, and maybe even doing a kickflip to dodge a sniper shot. Sound awesome? Yeah, I think so too! For so many of us Fortnite fans who are also into skating or just think it looks super cool, rideable skateboards in Battle Royale are the ultimate wish.
Challenges and Possibilities
Now, why don't we have skateboards zooming around in every Fortnite match right now? Good question! It's probably not as easy as just dropping a skateboard item into the game. Think about it: Fortnite's map is huge and built for running, building, and driving vehicles like cars and trucks. Adding skateboards would mean making sure they fit into that world without being totally overpowered or completely useless. Maybe they'd be super fast on smooth roads but slow in grass? Maybe they'd be great for getting around quickly but terrible for combat? It's like when you are learning , you need to figure out how to balance and move, it takes practice to get it right in the game too.
What We Can Expect
So, will we ever get to shred on skateboards in Fortnite Battle Royale? Honestly, I have no clue. But here's what I'm hoping for. Imagine limited-time events where skateboards are introduced as a fun way to get around, maybe with special skate challenges and tricks to learn. Or what if they added specific areas to the map, like a giant skatepark POI where skateboards are the best way to travel and fight? They could even let us customize our own boards, like picking different decks, wheels, and trucks, just like choosing for different snow conditions. One thing is for sure: if Epic Games does add rideable skateboards, it's going to be wild. Fingers crossed we'll be ollieing our way to Victory Royales someday!
Rolling Out
So, while we are still waiting for the day we can actually ride a skateboard in Fortnite Battle Royale and do kickflips off the Loot Lake waterfall, there are cool ways to embrace the skate life right now.
Fortnite offers gliders and back bling to give you the look.
Creative maps let you live out your Tony Hawk dreams in a Fortnite world.
Who knows? Maybe Epic Games will eventually drop a real, rideable skateboard into Fortnite.
Until then, keep practicing your tricks in Creative, and keep an eye out for new skateboard-themed cosmetics.
The Fortnite skateboard scene is already pretty rad, even without fully functional boards!
