I began Skate Part Reviews as my 2023 New Year’s Resolution. Last January I was applying for jobs as a copywriter so this project seemed a good way to sharpen my language skills. Furthermore, I was aware that the way I watch skate videos had changed since my millennial introduction to the genre, when VHS tapes were the dominant distribution media that my brother and I would rewind and rewatch through my high school years. Over the next half of my life, digital video discs laid way for this laptop deluge in the streaming age when my habits became single watches of each new video gleaned from posts across a handful of platforms. I have passed cumulative months of my 37-year-old life watching skate videos, so I wanted to explore what thoughts are going through my head while I absorb these parts with intensive repeated viewing treatments that resemble my introduction to this genre that has informed how I map the worthwhile world.
