Any serious skate fanatic has wondered at least once in their life what it would be like to break down skate videos by numbers. Pull out a pen and notepad, cue up a video, and start scribbling down as many data points as you can count.

Jared decided to analyze some skateboarder’s entire careers through their video parts, appreciating them in a new way, starting with Jim Greco’s 25+ year prolific career.
