A Commercial a Day – Day 5: Sun Herald

Short, sweet, and to the point. This is a commercial for the Sun Herald newspaper. Which one? Well, it’s not the one in Mississippi or Florida, so that leaves the one in Australia. Heck of a nice backside 180 ollie. Catch the commercial after the jump.

A Commercial a Day – Day 4: LA Weekly Pool Skating

Here’s a short commercial for the free paper LA Weekly. LA Weekly is giving a nod to skateboarding culture without resorting to the easy way out with Extremeâ„¢ stereotypes. That’s what you’d expect with a “hip” paper. Appears to be shot on super 8 and looks authentic. Hmm… I wonder who made this. Sound familiar? […]

A Commercial a Day – Day 3: It ain’t Coca-Cola, it’s rice.

Coca-Cola Road Trip: I think this aired in the summer of 2006. In the story line, some kids get bored building their miniramp so they go on a road trip to find some full pipes in the desert. They skate for five minutes and get kicked out. Someone did some cultural research, throwing in terms […]

A commercial a day – Day 2: Nissan & Danny Way

A lot of commercials featuring skateboarders have been popping up lately. Yesterday I posted the CarMax advert, so starting today I’m going to see how long I can keep it going. Nissan has a fetish for skateboards. Here’s a commercial featuring Danny Way for another Nissan vehicle.

Granny Skates for CarMax

I’m not sure if this commercial is even airing or not, but thanks to the Interwebâ„¢, here it is. There’s nothing funnier than an age-inappropriate person on a skateboard, with the possible exception of a football to the groin. Catch the video after the jump

Car as Skateboard Part 2: Nissan Qashqai Commercial

Looks like it’s a video post kind of day. This is probably the best car-as-skateboard, ahem, in-car-nation I’ve ever seen. Check out this spot for the Nissan Qashqai. “WTF is a Qashqai?” you ask? Well its a Turkic-speaking tribal confederation of clans in Iran. I guess that explains why they don’t sell it in the […]

Korean TV manufacturer still hearts skateboards.

LG likes to use skateboards when advertising their expensive new TV’s. This 60 inch plasma may be $122,565 cheaper then their gold plated model, but at $9,435, it’s still pretty damn spendy. I think you can buy brand new Korean cars for that much money. So who is that vert skater on the screen? Does […]

Projected skateboarders don’t cause bomb scare.

Sure, some guerilla marketing tactics can get you into trouble. Others, not so much. Take this video footage of skateboarding being projected on buildings from a moving van. It makes it look like a guy is skateboarding down the street or along the roof tops and ledges of second story buildings. This projection trick has […]

Pop Swatch – Welinder, Mullen, and Mountain

Get out your overpriced plastic watches and put on at least three of them RIGHT NOW!!! Swatch used to sponsor an extreme sports like tour before it was, you know, Extreme!â„¢ It was purely spectacle, no contest. There was BMX and roller skaters in addition to skateboards. Bands? Seems like it but I might be […]
