TRENDKILL COLLECTIVE
Trendkill was never built for the podium. It was built for the parking garage at 1am, the security guard sprint, the clip nobody sponsored.
Since 2013 we've stayed exactly where street scootering is loudest and least polished — filmed on whatever camera was lying around, edited on borrowed laptops, uploaded with zero patience for algorithms.
No hype cycle. No product drops. Just riders who'd be doing this with or without a brand name stitched on it — which is the only reason there's a brand name at all.
First tie in Trendkill history. Two riders, two continents, one ballot the community couldn't split. 2024's title goes to both of them — no asterisk.
Trendkill starts as a handful of riders documenting the parts of street scootering everyone else was editing out — rough spots, bail footage, the actual grind.
Rider of the Year launches. First title goes to Reece Doezema — the community votes, no committee, no shortlist decided behind closed doors.
The title gets passed across four riders and three countries — Austin Coates, Devin Szydlowski, Lucas DiMeglio, Pol Roman — proof the scene was never just one scene.
The first tie. Joel Ingold and Tom Luca Holubowski split the vote clean down the middle — and the Collective decided splitting the title was more honest than picking a winner.
Same reason we started: film it ugly, put it out anyway, let the community decide who earned it. Next chapter's being written on whatever ledge is nearby.
No applications, no gatekeeping. Tag your clips, show up to a jam, put your rider up for next year's vote. That's the whole process.
