Ever wondered how Chowder the bulldog learned how to skateboard? Explaining it in a TikTok video that was less than a minute long could be challenging. But on Thursday, TikTok said it would triple the length of time for videos on its platform to up to three minutes, providing video creators more runway. Chowder's mom was among a group of creators to test out the longer-form video feature months before Thursday's announcement. Her tips were revealed in a roughly 2.5-minute video – Chowder trains in empty parking lots with no easy access to the street and learned how to ride a skateboard on flat areas first.
