Mom would never let me

So there’s a trend starting where ad agencies are using skateboards as props in living room shots. Garages, bedrooms and cars, sure but on the carpet next to the couch? This is a poster ad for SAP I spotted in the Atlanta airport, notice the skateboard next to the feet of what looks like a feral wolf-child lying on the carpeting. There’s another commercial for milk that I haven’t posted yet. It features Susan Sarandon tidying up a living room by removing the skateboard from next to the hearth.

Dogboarding

Dogboarding. I’d say “Meh….” but they did a really good job with it, even going through the trouble to green screen some live dog heads on the props. Well done. Watch it after the jump.

– Thanks to Matthijs for the tip. Source? Oh.. I don’t know… where was this found… I’m starting a week of boycotting the source posts from this site since the guy who runs it never credits SnA or anyone else for that matter. Yes, I am that big of a baby at this point.

Extreme conditions require Extreme!™ simulations

You’d never guess what this contraption was if you didn’t know already, or the title of the post didn’t give you an inkling. It’s not the newest wackyboard. Take your best shot and get the answer after the jump.

…comes around

Mike V is making the nostalgia rounds lately. First he ditched his own company to team up with Powell again, and now he’s going back to Airwalk. I had completely forgotten (more likely failed to register in the the first place) that he ever rode for Airwalk. They’re re-releasing the Enigma. as well as releasing some new versions of old classics reworked by Vallely. You can hear him wax poetic about returning to the Airwalk roster after the jump. I think Airwalk has changed ownership at least twice since he left.
