Nike See Lance Ride Commercial

[deadbeef]

The Nike commercial has great video:

It's an improvement over last year's "What are you on?" commercials.

Not bad. But is that a Sheryl Crow song playing in the background?
Wouldn't that be cute now.

Part of that commercial is also a direct ripoff (and probably intentioanlly)
of a Nike running commercial - the part where he is joined in the urban
streets by hundreds of other riders.

The last segment with the little kid is cool.

How can it be a ripoff if Nike created both ads?

Or "a lack of imagination".

Agreed. They got the "desperately drafting" bit down exactly right. Best
of all, they knew to show the least possible to get the job done. You just
see the size of the wheel (small, telling you everything you need to know)
rather than a kid on a bike. You fill in the details yourself.

It is actually a ripoff of Forrest Gump (if you recall)

I thought it was a ripoff of Rocky.

The most creative commercial of the Giro thus far, IMO, is the old Motel 6
with the blind referee. I liked Bob Roll's commercials last year better
than this year. I'd love for him to do more of his Gino Bartali routine.

The scene of Krispy leading the bike messengers is funny. I'd love to see
him go up against the guys in Drag Race. He'd get smacked by a car within
the first 25 blocks.

I wonder if the little kid represents a younger version of Lance himself.
He wasn't that good at football, but turned out to be a pretty good on
a bike....

Rocky ran alone, as I recall. 'Course it's been what - 20 years since I saw
that movie?

Sharon Darling,

One does not "race" when one is in drag. You, of all people, should know
that.

Rocky ran alone but picked up a huge string of kids behind him, or maybe
that was Rocky II. I seem to recall something about the kids just joining
as he ran by and it was not really planned, except for maybe a few. They
then gave each kid 5 bucks. Only reason I can say that I remember this is
that I was a big Rocky fan growing up.

Nice photo, but I don't see any cars or pedestrians in the road. Go to
http://www.digave.com/videos/ and download Drag Race, if you haven't already
seen it..

No question about that.
