Hey, riders! 

Season 18 drops into the Republic on March 18th with new gear, fresh competition, and quality-of-life improvements across the board. Here’s everything you need to know. 

The Pockett Bike X 

Get ready to cause some chaos with the new Pockett Bike X in Riders Republic. This wild new toy is built for pulling off ridiculous tricks and over-the-top lines, and you can grab the Stuntmazer as a standalone for 950 RC (including the Acrobat outfit) or as part of the Ridge Full Send Pack for 2,300 RC.  

Why not take it for a free spin first? Throughout the season in Riders Republic, we’ll spotlight a special LAB event created by the dev team featuring the Pockett Bike X. Simply find it in the quick menu and jump in! You’ll be able to play the event even if you don’t own the Pockett Bike X yet. 

Even better, you’ll be able to expand your style all season long with fresh variants: unlock the BLUE STEEL version for free at Tier 20 of the Season Progression from launch, and keep an eye on the shop for the DC SHOES edition dropping April 15. 

Shop Update 

The shop update brings a fresh new look to the “Toys & Careers” in-game store in Riders Republic, making it smoother and more intuitive to browse your favorite gear. And on top, you can now try out toys directly from the store for free, so you can test the fun first and ride with confidence. 
But that's not all. More information will be available in April! 

The Season Progression 

We’ve been listening to your feedback on Season Progression in Riders Republic. This time around, we’re extending the journey and blending the best of the old and the new. To fully complete the progression and unlock the Pockett Bike X – Blue Steel, you’ll need 1,300 stars. But the early tiers are faster to clear, while the higher levels will challenge you to put in a bit more time and dedication. 

LAB Events 

We’re rolling out a quick but important update to LAB Events in Riders Republic: from now on, you’ll need to set up a proper thumbnail for your event before publishing it, helping everything look sharper and more polished in the browser.  

And just like in previous seasons, we’ll continue to spotlight three community-made parks directly in the world. Dropping hints on the Ridge Big Screen before revealing their exact locations and adding the events to the menu.

And more! 

Among the latest improvements, skateboard flip tricks now feel more precise and responsive than ever! Push the trigger all the way for faster board rotation, or ease into it with a lighter press for smoother, slower spins. It’s all about giving you greater control to dial in your style. 

Working with well-known brands has always been an important focus for the Republic. This season in Riders Republic, we’re teaming up with Authentic Brands Group, bringing iconic names like DC Shoes and Quiksilver into the game to level up your style with authentic gear straight from the source. 

Seasonal Content

Then, from April 6–12, join the “Play Together” Photo Contest on Discord, snap your best group shot for a chance to place in the top three and win 500 RC. More info on it later!
