Through The Lens – WYDK #4 – Mike Hinkens

December 26, 2012

TTL_45_Hinkens_chill_OPENER

There has always been something intriguing to me about getting some behind the scenes details on a photo. I don’t know what it is about it but I just get stoked on seeing exactly how someone shot a specific photo and get a little insight into the process. I suppose it has something to do with the fact that every photographer shoots a little differently, which in turn makes each story unique in its own way. I can remember studying photos in magazines and borderline obsessing about the way that they were shot and honestly over the years not much has changed. I still find myself getting lost in photos to this day with the same level of curiosity that I had when I first started shooting. With that said, enjoy round four of WYDK.

Spot Check: Lake Owen Camp

December 6, 2012

This video is awesome, but sad at the same time. It’s awesome because Mike Hinkens, Jeff Dowhen, Erik Elstran and Dylan McCauley all throw down some awesome riding. It’s sad because it was announced this past week that Lake Owen was sold to new owners and they have no intention running it as an action sports camp anymore. I’m just glad I had the opportunity to spend some time up there before they shut down a place as amazing as that. RIP Lake Owen!

“Spot check on Lake Owen! Arik Elstran and his mouse-trap riding style take on this ramp Mecca in Northern Wisconsin. Along with Arik, The Milwaukee Crew toss in some hot barspins, roof rides and fakie grinds adding fuel to Arik’s obstacle-course riding. Together these guys throw down some serious original moves! Filmed by Grant Castelluzzo.” – Network A

Still can’t get over how much brighter it is in 4Seasons now that they changed out the lights, haha. There’s plenty of goodness in this too!

“Its rare that the Madera team and grassroots team randomly meet, so when Josh Eilken, Jeff Dowhen, Mike Hinkens, August Zeratsky, and Dylon McCauley all walked into 4 seasons last night, something had to be done. All we had was an iPhone, but here it is! One clip each of the homies.
Enjoy!” – Madera
