Youtube has changed the game for skaters and the skateboarding industry, whether your vlog lightly features skating or it has a weekly skateboard how-to segment along with the occasional part. By representing themselves and putting in the time to connect with an audience, skaters have the power to build their own reputations and companies, and inspire others to do the same.
In this list we've included 10 professional templates by Envato Elements and Market that will give you access to great colour grades, titles, transitions, openers, as well as lower third options for your videos.

Titles will always be a nice tool to have on hand. Even in a skate video. Creative Titles offers 25 unique title styles to choose from, and with easy customization over the parameters you’ll be able to fit this in. I’d recommend it as alternative to using lower thirds.
