Was just sent this video by a friend & had to share it… it’s Danny MacAskill traveling back to his home the only way he knows how…by riding his bike all along the way. If you’re a fan of beautiful cinematography, amazing street biking and killer soundtracks then this is right up your alley.
Enjoy.

If you caught last weeks Monday Night Football you probably witnessed part of a new Nike campaign from Wieden + Kennedy called BOOM. Yes, you read that correctly….first they tell us to Just Do It..now we must BOOM. So far the one shown above with Rick Ross has been the ‘talk of the town’ as far as being the current favorite. Also if you go to the youtube page for each of the clips the comments get pretty funny for a few of them (I’ve posted the rest of the spots in the campaign at the bottom of the post).
Now I was going to make a wise-crack about how if they really wanted to Boom all they’d need are some tips from the Flight of the Conchords (Brit’s the boom king after-all), but alas, a user commenting on a related Adfreak post already beat me to it (touché). But for any of you who have no clue what I’m talking about, or even how to correctly “Boom,” hopefully the following instructional video will help:

On the very top of my list of favorite World Cup videos that i’ve ever see so far, here’s one called 1284 from Y&R Brazil and Energy. It begins with soccer legend Pelé saying,
If I could replay my life, maybe if I scored my last goal with the Brazilian Team, i’d like that…
Shot entirely at Morumbi stadium in Sao Paulo this production involved more than 250 professionals a well over 500 cast members. On top of that a handful of professional players were involved in the shoot in addition to a few famous Brazilian sports and journalist icons like Rivellino, Carlos Alberto Torres, Orlando Duarte and Osmar de Oliveira.
A tip of the hat on this one…. well done.
