It's fair to say skateboarding and the way we consume media has changed beyond all recognition since the turn of the millennium. Whilst VHS made way for DVD, the basic format of photos in mags and full length team vids was tried and tested; if you were skating in the early 2000's there was no reason to believe things would ever really change.
Then, around 2006, YouTube popped up and whilst its USP of user generated content was perfect for hosting the local scene vid you and your mates had made, it was still a long time until people started to change the way in which they presented skateboarding. Back then the idea of filming your own kids TV-esque representation of a day out wouldn't have crossed your mind but fast forward to 2021 and the proliferation of "YouTubers" and vloggers means the full part is now becoming the much rarer beast.
But the thing is, these YouTubers and vloggers grew up in the era of the full length so, whilst their daily vlogging may well be their bread and butter, they still hold dear the notion of a traditional part and the effort that entails. And that's exactly what we're sharing with you today - Revive Skateboards' UK connection may well spend most of his time giving trick tips to pre teens and capturing his daily shenanigans around the north of England but the lad can really skate when he puts his mid to it, as this part definitely proves!
