I'd rather say this belongs in the DIY-category... Would you post some pictures and a material list or something? Btw, I hate fisheye. Use a good wide-angle lens instead.

well for sonwboarding, or any extreme sport for that matter, a fisheye is usually used just because it can make rails look longer or gaps look bigger due to its heavy amount of distortion.
as for the video, the only flaw i noticed was that the camera was a little bit crooked

We actually didnt want to use the fisheye but we were limited to where we could run the cable. It was to close to use the stock lens. As for the cam being a little crooked we havent added a tripod head/ball mount yet to adjust that, soon though.
Thanks for watching and the feedback guys.
