Making these work in skateboarding

• The battle is the story, not the make. Viewers stay for attempt 40 because they saw attempts one through 39 — film everything, every session, including warm-ups.
• Slams earn trust. An account that only posts makes reads like a highlight reel; showing what a trick costs makes the landing hit harder, especially for non-skaters.
• Frame vertical at the spot: full body plus the obstacle in 9:16 while filming always beats cropping a landscape clip into shape during the edit.
• Before posting a battle edit, run it through ReelTok — if the virality score reads low, open with the slam or the make instead of the setup push.
