Many vaulters have done commercials. Some vaulting, one BoFlexing, etc. Let's see if anyone can put links on here to the commercials for everyone to see. Who has done them? Post links to them if you can.

Russ Buller, BoFlex
Scott Slover, Nike?
Who else.

I've done a few but only have copy of one and it's in on video tape, so I can't post it.

there is a link somewhere in this forum to a nick hysong commercial for coca cola several years back....um....found it....

LoJo did an adidas commercial a few years back-i think for the Universal's...it was him vaulting in the desert. and about the same time, stacy did one also-during the 2000 olympics i believe-no clue where to find the videos.

Yeah you can't leave out the Visa commercial Stacy did!

I just got a copy of my Hyndai commerical I did in reno, Nv in the desert with the help of spirit. it is me pole vaulting and being compared to the car, it hasnt shown in the USA yet, but has shown in japan, europe, and sout afica.

Ill see if I can get it on the site

The best one ever was the Nike commercial, circa '92, that was narrated by William S. Burroughs. He was going on about human limits..."1 second faster, 1 inch higher..." at the "1 inch higher" was a quick collage of Bubka smoking a few bars.

Not only was it one of the few (if not only) Bubka commercials shown stateside, but it was narrated by one of the greatest american writers, who incidently shot his wife in the head (while attempting to shoot a beer can off her head) during a heroin binge in Mexico in the '60s.

A great print ad, was the Nike ad of Bubka with the slogan "Gravity is my only enemy and he never has a bad day." or something to that effect.

wasnt the LoJo commercial the one where they said " Sprinters are just pole vaulters afraid of heights........" it was similar to that.. but not real sure

Trey, you may not know this but your coach, Kevin Brown, has done some talent work. I don't know if he did any commercials though. He was doing it when he lived and trained in Miami with Maxwell Thompson. KB said he got his start when he went to a shoot with Maxwell and they wanted him too. I think he said it was an underwear ad. I bet their wives and they have had some laughs about that through the years. LOL

I could be wrong too but I think it was "Pole vaulters are sprinters who aren't afraid of heights."

YA whatever!! show off-- - hahhaaha just kidding, that sounds like it makes more snese, thanks for the correction.!!

Hawaiian Punch, and a gig w/ 85' Bears quarter back Jim McMahon. (cool as hell until you get his autograph, then a complete prick) I used to be a professional skater throughout the late 90's and travelled with a group of Pro bikers/skateboarders under the name"SUPERHEROS" We were sponsored by Trek, K2, Harbinger, and a few local shops/skateparks. I was only 16 or 17 at the time. Had to give it up due to NCAA violations of accepting money. Haven't skated since i came to college. More injuries than i can count...
Noone besides family and close friends knows about it, and now i guess you guys. I'm sure pvjunkie will call B.S and then i'll have to rip out the old video's. I've kept it low key since college.
Any other past skaters out there??? I know about Hysong. I love going out to Jan's w/ Clay, Justin and the guys. Surfing in the morning (i suck) vaulting in the evening, skating before dinner.
