Fish Bite: Fishing In The Wind

Posted by Marc Critical

Over the past weekend, the crew and I met with a ton of wind at the new Elk Grove skate park. There wasn’t really a plan for the day. Not to mention, the park was blown out with blades and scooters. I was still able to capture a hand full of pictures and clips.

I was going to post a traditional Fish Bite. But, I just wasn’t happy with all that I got, so I decided to give you a mix of video and images for your viewing pleasure.

A little bit of soccer. A little bit of mini-ramp. The Fish goes where it goes.

You might already know this, but HA has its roots from the 90s. Back then the only way to film skateboarding was with a fish eye. Filming was pretty novice during that time. For the most part you could of had any run of the mill camera as long as you had that lens.

I used to film a lot back then and so did the whole crew. No one really set out to be Ty Evans or Spike Jones, but rather you just grabbed a camera and followed as close as you could to your homie in hopes of getting the clip.

I recently cleaned out an old dresser and there it was… The fish eye lens, circa 1994. After reminiscing on those good old days, I got a bright idea. Hook up this old lens to my phone and give a go again for old times sake.

Now look, I don’t claim to be a filmer. That’s why we have Rob Critical. But I thought I would start hitting the streets and capturing whatever I feel like posting up on the blog for all to enjoy. It’s not going be perfect, but it will sure bring back that 90s feeling. So with that. Fish Bite.
