If you grew up skating in the early 2000s, there’s a good chance you’ve watched Grind at least a few times.
The 2003 cult skate movie followed four amateur skaters traveling across the country trying to get noticed by pro teams while chasing the fictional Super Duper Tour.
Now it looks like the long-rumored sequel is actually happening.
A post from the account grindmovierewind recently confirmed that Grind 2 is in production, with the movie being written and directed once again by Casey La Scala. The post also suggests the sequel is aiming for a 2027 release.
La Scala also confirmed in a recent interview that the original cast is excited about returning, even though some of them have stepped away from acting over the years.
Check out this teaser posted on Instagram:
A Skate Cult Classic
When Grind first released in 2003, it wasn’t exactly a huge box office hit.
But over time the movie became a cult classic among skaters.
A big part of that was the ridiculous road-trip storyline and early-2000s skate culture energy, but it was also packed with appearances from real skateboarders.
Skaters like:
- Bam Margera
- Ryan Sheckler
- Chad Fernandez
- Kareem Campbell
- Mike Vallely
- Tony Hawk
- Bob Burnquist
- Pierre-Luc Gagnon
- Bucky Lasek
- & More
Seeing real pros pop up throughout the movie made it feel like it was actually connected to the skate world at the time.
For a lot of skaters who grew up in that era, spotting those cameos became part of the fun.
Could Super Duper Become Real?
One of the more interesting ideas being discussed for the sequel’s marketing is bringing the fictional Super Duper Skateboards brand into the real world.
La Scala said they’ve been playing with the idea of doing an actual Super Duper demo tour, possibly using the original tour van from the first movie.
They’re also exploring ways to bring fans into the film as extras, which could turn the sequel into more of a community project for people who grew up with the original movie.
In the meantime, some fans are already leaning into the nostalgia — there’s even a fan-run website selling Super Duper Skateboards merch online.

What Could Grind 2 Look Like?
Plot details haven’t been revealed yet, but if the sequel follows the original timeline, the characters would now be more than twenty years older.
That opens the door for some interesting possibilities.
Maybe they’re:
- running skate shops
- filming YouTube parts
- managing brands
- or still chasing sponsorships long after their prime.
Either way, it’s hard to imagine a Grind sequel without another lineup of pro skater cameos.
The Big Question: Who Should Appear in Grind 2?
If the sequel leans into the same formula as the original, there’s a good chance we’ll see a mix of classic pros and modern skaters appearing in the film.
So the real question is:
Which skaters would you want to see show up in Grind 2?
Should they bring back the OG legends that were in the first film?
Or should they feature newer pros?
And who else is hoping for another Tom Green cameo??
Let us know who you think should make an appearance!
