New Nike Commercial - The Micheal Vicks Experience

Hey did any of you see the new Michael Vicks commercial yesterday during the NFL broadcasts? It was absolutely hilarious. The whole commercial is based on a theme park ride called The Michael Vicks Experience. You can watch it here:

http://www.nike.com/nikegridiron/ind...//www.nike.com

If the link doesn't work, go to nike.com, click USA, click nike gridiron. You've got to see this thing.

Watch for the last frame. It ends in an on-ride photo.

PS: The commercial link is on the bottom left hand side of your screen.

I just saw it, and its freaking great. I like how while the rides going down the field, he kicks his legs like hes trying to run.

I was thrilled with the commercial. The question is: Coaster or thrillride?

I'd say it would look to be a mix of the two if it were real

That was a very funny commercial, I loved it especially the flip at the end to get into the end zone.

I've actually been watching football this season, simply because the Falcons haven't been 3 and 0 since....86 I believe? Something like that.....Michael Vick definitely makes it fun to watch....

I'm sorry, but every time I see wither Vick or Iverson in a commercial, it really freaks me out. Those two are huge in their own sports, and I had the pleasure of seeing them both play before they got big. Iverson even liked to make unannounced visits to my high school in the middle of the day, where he graduated from too. The commercial looks awesome, makes me proud of the VA boy.
I would say thrillride tho, and a darn good one at that. Would scare the crap outta me.

I saw the commercial last night and I thought is was great. I thought it was funny that he was trying to run when he was riding down the field.

/\ I remember seeing that.

I saw it a couple of times. It's cool. I think those 3-D images in the beginning in real life would be cool to expierence.

Those seats reminded me of the ones on Acrophobia.

I just saw the print ad for the campaign. There is coaster track in it. Of course they don't mean for it to be literal but if it was a labeled brand track I'd say it was Premier. It's neat that in the tv commercial the tunnel reminded me of Flight of Fear.

I too finally saw this commercial two weeks ago I think it was. It's pretty funny. Glad they don't have a ride like that. I don't want to get smashed by a linebacker. lol

The dude got smashed? I thought he didn't even get touched. Well I think he might of go touched at the end and then did a flip into the end zone.

I don't think so, but just the thought of a ride that smashed you by a linebacker is scary.

This dumbas in my Biology class got in an argument with me about that commercial. He said it's a real ride, and he rode it. I was like, "dude, no it's not", and he's like, "yeah dude, I rode it last weekend and it was awesome", and i'm like, " "
