SK8 the Infinity is a skateboarding anime which is supposed to premiere in early 2021. It is about an underground skateboard competition where our protagonist gets involved.
This underground competition is not a kid’s game and has serious repercussions.

Some of the other participants from the “S” competition are shown as well.
A new promotional video for the upcoming anime is also revealed.
The PV shows all the different kinds of people who have come to participate in “S.” The participants are from different walks of life and have different skateboarding styles.

About SK8 the Infinity
The brand new “SK8 the Infinity” original anime comes with an all-star team featuring Hiroko Utsumi as the director, Ichiro Ohkouchi (Series Composition/Screenplay), Michinori Chiba (Character Design), and Animation Production by Bones! Skateboard.
The anime focuses on a second-year high schooler, Reki, who loves skateboarding. He gets mixed up in “S,” a dangerous no-rules underground skateboard race at an abandoned mine.
Ranga, another character in the series, returns to Japan from Canada and has never skateboarded before. He also gets wrapped up in S with Reki.
The plot follows dirty racers, AI racers, and other intriguing individuals to compete in the “youth skateboard race battle.”
