Cooper Hawk

During the finale of Men in Blazers they aired a TV commercial for the Mini Cooper Countryman featuring Tony Hawk hauling his kids out to a waterpark in the middle of the desert. While trying to find the commercial online saw that he had ditched Jeep and signed some sort of extended agreement with Mini […]

Tony Hawk At Soggy Bottom

Hawk or Die

This clip of Tony Hawk skating in the desert somewhere is pretty amazing. I’m guessing (and pulling it out of my ass, really) that this is from the new Birdhouse video The Beginning maybe? As for the skating spectacle and cinematography, it’s great regardless of your personal feelings on Tony. And really, let’s talk about […]

Commercial with a robot riding a Jeep Compass like a skateboard.

Car as Skateboard Part 5: Jeep Compass

This should really be part 1 I think. This is probably the first car as skateboard commercial I ever saw back in 2006, but I was unable to record it until now. This Jeep is so bad ass that it causes a ball of rolling jumk to follow until it spontaneously assembles into a robot […]

Tony Hawk in Jeep - Sirius commercial

Are you Sirius? (or Jeep?)

Siriusly (har har) I can’t tell if this is a commercial for Jeep or Sirius Satellite Radio. The gist of it is if you buy some kind of Jeep they throw in the Sirius service for free. It’s a mildly amusing commercial. If anyone still needs it, it’s proof that skateboarding has been assimilated into […]

Car as skateboard – Part… (I lost count)

My money is on fake because the acceleration up the “vert” wall seems too fast, it’s on MySpace, and the clip is so short. You’d think if you actually caught this on video you’d keep the record button pressed, maybe talk to the driver… The imperfect landing was a nice touch though. Prove me wrong. […]

Trackmania car as skateboard

Car as Skateboard Part 6: TrackMania

Because I waste my time not skateboarding by writing about skateboarding instead of playing video games, I was unaware of this 2004(!) game called TrackMania that lets players create and race on their own Extreme™! tracks. Not all of them are skateboard inspired, but this one sure is. Watch the video after the jump.

Dew Action Sports Tour vs. Dew Tour The Action Sports Pro Tour

Don’t Call It “The Dew Action Sports Tour” No More!

I just got an email from someone I’ve never met in this wonderful skateboard industry. Getting stuff like this is sorta funny to me because it really doesn’t matter to me. I’ll still go, because I have to scope out the next big name in skateboarding. Like for instance- young David Loy won this event […]

Audi TT car as skateboard commercial

A Commercial a Day – Day 8: Audi TT (Car as Skateboard Part 3)

I get the whole deal with German engineering and all, but all I get from this commercial for the Audi TT is a sterile computer animation vibe. I barely noticed this when I saw it on TV. Catch the commercial and links to the other “Car as skateboard” posts after the jump.
