This is not a palindrome: "waS I taC a tI saW" Whitespace and casing is significant.
Em, no redivider on me!
This calls for automatic generation with language models.

Some people consider the redivision to add to the appeal. And sticking to "perfect palindromes", it's hard to get past the level of "POOP, OTTO, POOP". Em, no redivider on me!
RACECAR POOP, OTTO, POOP RACECAR!
My kids will love it.
Go hang a salami. I'm a lasagna hog.

The video ends in a groundbreaking way with somewhat of a palindrome: a series of tricks, with each trick mirroring the one before it. He's gone on record stating it took about 2000 attempts, more than two years, and resulted in numerous injuries.
The final (and first!) trick of the sequence is among the simplest in skateboarding: a 50-50 grind.
Final tricks in video parts-- "enders" in the lingua franca-- are traditionally reserved for extremely technical or groundbreaking tricks on unique or challenging obstacles. Enders are of high cultural significance, often analyzed and talked about for decades. A skater can quite literally make a career out of a good ender.
In Verso, one of the most hyped videos of year, Suciu capped his run with a simple trick on an unassuming curb, and the skate community at large panned the part.
That was until someone discovered (Or Mark had to explain) the mirrored sequence, and people began to dissect the part and reveal the brilliant nature of the performance.
I'd struggle to articulate exactly how challenging the sequence was, and there are breakdown videos on youtube and comments littering the net who do it better anyhow.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

There are various palindrome words you can add to those, such as racecar. RACECAR POOP, OTTO, POOP RACECAR! My kids will love it.
Fortunately, I'm a programmer, so a quick script found the following words in the reversed text: name, mail, item, sign, both, cart, tell, arts, ever, unit, named, refer, demo, busy, rail, tube, semi, tons, tire, nuts, bare, tubes, rows, memo, stir, baton, verb, mania, erase, astro, carte, peek, warp, stub, veil, dime, carp, tyre.
"Mania" from "remain a mystery" was the only notable find IMO. Sadly, that would be harder to turn into a palindrome, because "yretsy" is not a substring of anything. No deeper secrets seem to have been embedded.
Reversed, the text is:
