4 DAYS OLD and Ollie is skating!

Start them young! Its my job to keep him safe and educate him as he grows up, skateboarding is so special and I want him to learn the true meaning behind it.

Collection Complete

This is every 3CCD + Century Fisheye Set Up, along with every adapter to put lenses on different cameras etc.. This is vital for the Game we are making as filming is a huge aspect of the game @fakeskategame

I worked hard and spent a ton of time around these cameras in my 28 years filming and skating, its a pleasure to have them all (except a pd170)

Over the years I been chipping away at gaining every Major Skateboarding 3CCD setup, huge thank you to everyone that has followed this crazy journey these past few years and the people who I have done business with. Cant mention you all but huge thank you to @deathlens_fisheye_sales and @vx_fisheye_sales as there is a handful in here from them and little accessories along the way.

I will be doing content with these to put knowledge out there as its something missing in the community of skate filmers. Please feel free to help me out if you have any details that might not be known about them that I might miss.

Finally *huge sigh of relief by @mikecrook

SLICE RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE

Probably my favourite trick ever filmed of me 🎥 jon sherman and skating in the snake skin @esskateboarding @tompenny shoes!

Lost the original footage of this along with many others due to a recent hardrive failure 😞

RORY 8 MONTHS

Been a rough sleep regression this past month, but Rory is developing fast. Stoked to see his little mind just go! He is pulling himself up to stand which is sick to see him catching up to his big brother Ollie. by @mikecrook

Big Happy Birthday to my wonderful friend @gospenny

The past couple years we have been in the streets, parks, putting in work, having fun, with positive energy and a mindset which is rare. What we have accomplished these couple years has been epic to say the least.

From July 1st 2025 Spenny nosegrind bonks this awkward bench, filmed on HMC151 MK1 and photo shot with Nikon D3S 16mm.

Have an amazing day and "AYE YOOO!" by @mikecrook

TD has a special place in my heart, my favourite skatespot in the world. More than skating I love the purpose Meis created with his architecture “a space for all” the creation of open space, high ceilings to feel like your not going into a cramped work space in the entrances. I can go on and on!

Thank you @justinbehan for making these videos, always super humbling seeing my name in these videos.

I have had some good talks with @tedbarrow about TD, love talking more than skating about these beautiful pieces of art.

Go check out the full video on Justin Behans YouTube channel! So many good tricks and memories!

I miss the Manny pad in its original place, but glad they stopped capping the ledges. I still have unfinished business there hahaha by @mikecrook

PHOTO

I realized I don't post much of my photography, here is a handful of my favorite ones over the years I have taken.

I started showing a huge interest in photography in Grade 10, I spoke with the teacher and they allowed me to take the course that was only for grade 12's, after that the teacher pushed for me to keep taking the course and built me my own curriculum to be able to take it every semester till I graduated. He taught me medium format, lent me his own personal camera and I learned to develop and print. This for sure lead me down the path of Design and print.

I look back and wonder why I don't share my photos, I just print them to enjoy in my home.

In this small collection one of my all time favorites is actually shot on an iPhone 5s, lets see if you can guess which one it is?

I always have used Nikon, right now I have a Nikon D3S that I love, 16mm 2.8, 50mm 1.4, 85mm 1.4 and a 70-200 2.8. Thinking on finding a 35mm next.

Should I share more photos? by @mikecrook

BLENDER RENDER

Working hard on @fakeskategame and yes these are 3D models made in Blender for our game, UV’d from my cameras and lenses. Game ready low poly.

Huge thank you to the people who helped us with these Atee and @hydra_v0id by @mikecrook

Back Part 2

Progress is getting there getting back to skating regularly after many years. Couple tick tacks but I will take them 🤣 feels nice to get a few switch bs flips today.

@gospenny on the cam 🤳

Feeling these @dcshoes Lynx OG’s too by @mikecrook

2026 progress for me getting back on the board, @gospenny filming, appreciate it 🙌🏻 this was on wednesday just messing about. We went to go street filming but ended up staying at the barrie skatepark.

Been slowly regaining my balance and comfortability on the board, baby steps as I realize im not some young buck. Im just stoked to land and roll away. Not skateboarding for all those years made me realize how calming skating makes me, outside of skating too. Its like a reset button everytime.

Glad to be out pushing wood still at 40 thats for sure. by @mikecrook
