[Kalvin]

has anyone else noticed the more and more commercials that are starting to have backflips in them... ive come to notice at least 1 commericial a day where people do a backflip in them.. and i watch almost no tv... has anyone else noticed this?

[thereid]

I guess I see that more now, or maybe I just notice it more now because I recognize the tricks.

[FMK X)~]

hah. a very quiet revolution. i first noticed the k swiss commercial then a car commercial. on tv shows i see round off back handspring backflip combos. hmm

[Marodi]

i saw a McDonalds ad where a guy does a double leg, lol i got well-excited but thats pretty much all he did (and some other retard flip)

[Birch]

yer i dont like it when everyones like wow that guy did a flip and all of a sudden they are experts

[Surge]

It's about the best time to be a tricker. =]
Everyone whose everyone loves watching some random person flipping.

On a side note, we should all put clips together and make a TT commercial.

I know that one! He's really shit too. Ironic that McDonalds is using sport to advertise haha.

Haha that'd be awesome! What would we advertise though? Advertise to get people to join TT? :eh:

[WonderRaZ]

hah.. this is soo true! in sweden we have this butter company lätta, that not only have parkour in their TV commercials but also arrange parkour jams in Stockholm.:smile:

[Dave]

Butter, not only the pre requisite for a nice sandwich, but also for PARKOUR!!!

[karatekid]

I recently saw a guy do a doubleleg off a couch in some commercial.

I shouted: Wow doubleleg! :D

[saunders]

in the newspaper there was this article about a thing called 'streetstunts' which is basically tricking with no kicks, which had this horrible tricktionary in which they gave the wrong description about just every single move they listed. i still have the article so i can translate it if anyone's interested.
that article sucked so much ass, like basically everything what was in it was false information.

[MasterSyrup]

Haha Checkers has a commercial with a guy doing a backflip, Rodney Mullen dose a backflip in one of his skate videos( His Backflip is fucking nice to). Sprite used Chase Armitage for there commercial. So definatly seeing alot more of it. Ipod has had a few guys doing crap well black cartoon dudes and I know sketchers has been doing it for awhile with break dance scenes.

i was talking to my g/f about this last night, in the space of one advert break, i'd see someone do a 540 (cant remember what the advert was) and a r-off flash (halifax advert).

and the advert for the T4 show 'the friday night project' has a load of free running in it.

To be honest, it was always going to be a matter of time.

[Matt R]

These people arnt "tRiCkInG" in this adverts.

Theyr simply doing basic acrobatics and stunts to make the advert more appealing.

Its not like someones gonna do boxcutter-double twist, in an advert.

[TKD_Andy]

kicks are tricks though matt :wink: (in reference to the guy doing the 540.)

[Matt R]

But if that guy was asked what he was doing he would say Martial Arts.

For example, there is a 540 in the transporter two, but its not trixx, its just martial arts.

[TKD_Andy]

no matt a 540 isnt martial arts haha its a trick

(i am just doing this to wind you up now lolz)

[Matt R]

Urgh, whatever, to you maybe.

To the stuntman doing it in the advert, I doubt it.

"omgz i just did a 1337 ttrixxor in thatt adverttt"!!"!"

[TKD_Andy]

lol! man i wish people spoke like that in real life...

'I jezt did teh leetust trixx0rz!'

[Matt R]

It wasnt really you i was meaning anyway, you specified it was just single things you saw, ie 540 and ro flash.

Its people going "omgz i jeust saw teh trixxorz in teh advertztt"

When all it was was someone doing a backflip. This annoys me ha.
Because this then leads to

"OMGZ TRIXXXING IS GETTINGZ BIGGGG, WHEN WILL IT BE ON XGAMEZZZZZ?!?!?!?"

[TKD_Andy]

haha yeah its pretty funny when people get overhyped about it.

i like seeing people doing shitty ones knowing i can do them better haha

yeah this kid at my school, that can do a backflip on ground but lands on his hands n knee's gets so much attention, do a backflip!! i just laugh do one better then him and walk away.

Edit: he did a backflip off the graduation stage and got mad props i heard.

[simon]

um these guys are "tricksters" they are stuntmen.being told to do "something cool".

therefore they are not tricking.

edit:i see matt posted basically the same thing...
