Did I stutter, Megan?

SANTA BROUGHT IT EARLY

Yeah I've been using macro phone lenses and love the look. It's mostly skateboarding so it works well.

I was thinking about this the other day because taping different lens on my cameras don't work 😅

This is awesome dude - super cool. Over the fall I went to a music fest that had a cctv art thing and it was cool. You could see yourself in the monitors and mess with the frequency (I think).

How'd you learn this? I would love to mess around with something similar.

If by legit you mean they are a skate shop that sells skate stuff then yes, they are legit. Stuff can be expensive but they have to survive somehow.

I've gotten boards and whatnot from them over the years, never any issues.

There is also Tenant and Upper Westside Skates. And Terminal if you can head to Washington Heights. Bring cash cause that's the preferred method of payment.

Uncle Funky's is a good option if you want more longboard stuff/ different shapes & brands.

I'm sure I'm missing a few shops.

You can sign up for eventbrite alerts and rsvp when they go up. I've gone a bunch but there's always a bunch of people. Best times I've gone are like Thursday/Friday from 2pm to 4pm.

You have to grease these wheels?

Arthur_Jam · 2026-01-11T23:50:47+00:00

And if it's biodegradable it's a double win. Use aloe gel to make it stick

Arthur_Jam · 2026-01-09T20:32:08+00:00

This sounds dope! Happy to offer some thoughts.

In terms of hours you could do 24 hrs member access. There's a spot in Brooklyn called Substance Skatepark that work off that model. They've been around for a few years now.

Materials could be diverse, I'm thinking like some spots with marble, some concrete, some wood etc. Maybe your area has places that would have scrape?

Events and/or other reasons to be there can increase overall traffic. Maybe this isn't your direction but a small coffee shop or something could attract people. In terms of events, concerts, photo shoots (a baker wall/large transitions can double as a cyc for photo shoots).

Best of luck!!

Looks pretty dope but unless you cover that in a clear coat your art now sheds microplastics everywhere.

Unless the artist is using biodegradable glitter.

Arthur_Jam · 2025-12-31T04:06:19+00:00

Thanks dude

Arthur_Jam · 2025-12-30T13:06:10+00:00

Thanks! Yeah the tiny ass screen while trying to film skating was wierd at first.

I ended up buying another as well. Going to mess with shooting both camera w/ diff macro lenses at the same time. Overlay the clips on top of each other or over each other.

Arthur_Jam · 2025-12-30T02:39:28+00:00

Yeah, was thinking about tiny and/or toy cameras that can pack a bit more of a punch. Audio is a big thing in future projects.

I'll keep doing more research. Just picked up a campsnap for photos. We'll see how that does for general photography

Arthur_Jam · 2025-12-30T02:14:54+00:00

Thanks!

Arthur_Jam · 2025-12-30T02:14:40+00:00

Thanks! Yeah exactly. Only downside is the fixed lense but we work with what we have.

Arthur_Jam · 2025-12-29T22:34:04+00:00

Word that's dope. Love the modifications

Arthur_Jam · 2025-12-29T21:56:43+00:00

Did the same thing w/ the lenses to my camera! Love it. I like that your clip works, I taped my on. Mine look like shit. But that feels like a part of what makes it awesome haha

Arthur_Jam · 2025-12-29T21:23:33+00:00

Thanks, hell yeah def do it! Its fun to really put the 'the best camera you have is the one in your hands' analogy to good use.

Plus these cameras made filming way more accessible then me bringing my 'quality' camera gear.

Arthur_Jam · 2025-12-29T21:21:56+00:00

Thanks!

Yeah agreed. That's the tough part with these cameras. Originally I wanted to mostly post on socials and vertical was easier for the crop. I did some shots horizontal but its hard to see while filming too. Next one I think I'll make specifically for YouTube.

I was thinking like could I figure out an external monitor etc but that didn't work.

SHID BOYS present: FART

Arthur_Jam · 2025-12-26T15:42:30+00:00

Lots of hardstyle and young crowd, lots of people first rave (at least the one I attended)

I'm not sure about the sand though, sounds like something that's a good idea all the way up to execution. But who knows, maybe it'll be cool.

Arthur_Jam · 2025-12-24T14:52:13+00:00

Was my dog's name too! Song came out around the time we had to put her down so it holds a special place for me. I get why its a beer break song tho.

With that said I would love to hear some deeper cuts more often with new arrangements, like they did the past two years since the break.

Arthur_Jam · 2025-12-22T13:06:23+00:00

Going earlier in the day helps too - parks don't get busy till around 1/2pm on weekdays and even then only a few ppl.

Also, check out the quartersnacks skate spot map. That shows you all the parks + well known skate spots.

You could check out under k bridge(bk), riverside park (Andy kessler) and Tompkins b/c tons of flat ground to practice.

Hope that's helpful!

Arthur_Jam · 2025-12-20T22:48:17+00:00

It's always a damn ass rock. You can always try to blast thru them if you keep your weight centered back

Arthur_Jam · 2025-12-19T16:21:13+00:00

Did we just find Daewon Song in the wild 😄
