2020 was, honestly, a very shitty year in a lot of ways thanks to COVID—but for the channel it was also a massive one. In this video I’m basically doing a rewind: looking back at what I managed to build, film, and put out there, and more importantly the people I met along the way. The big takeaway is that even when everything around you is a mess, you can still make progress if you keep turning up and keep making. I also talk about the growth we saw—going from around 1,000 subscribers to 6,000 in the year—and how much that meant to me. A huge part of that is the community, and I give a proper shoutout to my Patreon supporters because they’ve helped me immeasurably with keeping the content moving (and let’s be real, esk8 builds and filming gear aren’t free). If you’ve watched a build, an install, a review, or just came along for the rides this year: thank you for making 2020 a bit less grim and a lot more productive.
