Gravity - Doritos® - Crash the Super Bowl 2012


Hi Guys, as you may have noticed I haven't posted anything in about a year. Well, I've been a little busy making commercials. I shot about ten commercials in the last ten months. Some were award winning, some were not:) Recently I did a commercial entitled "Gravity" for the Doritos "Crash The Superbowl" contest. The spot has generated a lot of buzz and is considered to be a contender to make the Top Five. It has been featured on a ton of rock climbing websites worldwide.

Check it out on the official Doritos "Crash The Superbowl" website, and leave a comment if you like it.
To read some of the rock climbing articles about the spot, head on over to my Pixelphile Blog.
You can also check it out over on Vimeo, were we have over 10,000 views.
And of course it's also featured on YouTube.

I promise that one of my next commercials will feature some classic BMX!

Cheers! - Michael "Crank King"

Bicycle Race/Fat Bottomed Girls

Sorry that it has been so long since I posted anything. To make up for it here is a picture that has absolutely nothing to do with BMX. But they are on bicycles after all:) Click on the above image for a much larger version.

From the album poster promoting the songs "Bicycle Race"/"Fat Bottomed Girls" from the rock band Queen and their 1978 album "Jazz".

You just gotta love the late 70's.

Green is Good


Okay, this guy is on a mountain bike instead of a BMX bike, but who cares? Green is Good.
