A dataminer found that skateboarding. there will be prize crates or loot boxes if you prefer. They will be called “Swag Bags” and will use a coin called “Taps”, which will be obtained through challenges. They will be used to unlock aesthetic customization options, apparently.
During the presentation of the game, the development team had promised that there would be no paid prize boxes. Evidently, their words had to be taken literally.
It’s worth noting that they did say “No paid loot boxes” and this is technically correct.
It’ll be interesting to see how they monetize. My bets are on a Battle Pass where some of the tiers will be “X amount of Taps” to get around buying taps directly lol pic.twitter.com/0kcwUdlng7

Of course, everything must be verified, because it could also be a mechanics cut during construction, or something completely different from how it appears.
However, if they are present, it will be interesting to see if the prize funds will be linked to some form of monetization, even indirect (tier of a Battle Pass that gives Taps, for example), or if they will be used as a simple extra for the player, without having any economic weight.
