A vaulter - but I don't know who it is - vaults over a box of Corn Flakes (but the box looks like it's about 16 feet high or so the way that the video/film is put together).
Before I got out of real estate sales I had the idea for my own commercial of vaulting in a suit and tie in front of a blue/green screen, so that the background could be wiped out, then overlaying it in front of a home. So I would be vaulting over the house. The voice over would say something like "...no Realtor will go to greater heights for you." :yes:

Hey I found out who the vaulter in the Kellogg's Corn Flakes commercial is: It's Jan Johnson, himself!

Ill see if I can get it on the site


I saw that commercial. It was pretty cool. What bar were you going over, anyway?

By the way, here is a link to the commercial. It works best if you launch it in a stand-alone player:
