THE UNHEALTHY KREW STORY

---

Imagine, armed with nothing but a wobbly Nikon D3300 

 a fish-eye lens that looks like a discarded scratch card

not to mention an eighth of draw. 

After 3½ years of pedaling around and finding jibs 

finally

“The Fish Tape”  makes its debut Not merely as a video, 

but as a Covid relic marked with sweat, laughter  and more attempts than hot dinners. 

Featuring the likes of Connor Bone, Gabriel Ash, James Harding, Callum Browning, Alex Thomas, Dan Chester, Kieran Foster, Bradley Gibbs, Tom Butland, Jamie Skinner, Jack Panther, Mike Hilton, Allander, Stuart Wright and Ben Porter. 

This stands as one of the most cherished BMX time capsules ever filmed in Plymouth. The BMX street glory days! Or was it? …

No single person or company was behind the shift from MiniDV tapes to digital storage. It was a slow, industry-wide evolution led by giants like Sony and Panasonic. 

But we at Unhealthy Krew saw straight through the propaganda.

  instead of chasing convenience.

We filmed an entire 50-minute video on ancient MiniDV tapes.

Now, you might be thinking: “But there’s conversion tech that lets you use those cameras and record straight to an SD card, keeping the same look.

” Yeah… well, that wouldn’t have been very street.

Plus, we didn’t even know it existed.

35 hours of twisted tapes later

 The Lost Tape was born. 

And as the name hints,

 there really was

 one tape lost

 I still daydream about that tape

had all the good shit on it, including bp's tr2 g-turn

It was easily the worst best decision of my life to take on this project. 

What a beautiful waste of time.
