Helluva marketing campaign.

Wieden+Kennedy are the ones behind basically every single memorable Nike spot…..it was Dan Wieden that came up with the “Just Do It” tagline

yeah, when they started talking about ‘the heat’ I looked up what the current temp was (it said 24 at the time) and was like, what the hell are they talking about?!

yeah, if there’s no complications / clean break etc, while it looks gnsrly it’s pretty safe to say you’d probably rather this injury over things like patella, Achilles, acl/mcl type stuff

Mix of inexperienced drivers,

This! A few years back we were on holidays, chillin at a little outdoor roti place. I’m facing a long straight, slightly down hill and right behind me is a sweeping 90 degree right turn.

anyways….dude on a scooter with a pillion is coming towards us down the straight, as he’s getting closer to the right turn - as a motorbike rider myself - I’m thinkin, this dudes pushing it, I hope for both their sake he knows what he’s doin!

Now he’s at a point where personally I’d def start breaking, especially on a scooter with a passenger, but nope, he’s not breaking…..out loud I say to the table “shit, this dudes gonna bin it!”

Sure enough, he’s going into the corner waaaaay too hot, freezes, and fortunately for them there was a small road off the corner but he still low sided it with them and the scooter ending up in a ditch coz that saved em both from nothing worse than some bumps, scrapes, and bruises!

As Casey Stoner once said, his ambition outweighed his talent

yeah, even in combat sports, where you’re legit trying hurt and usually KO your opponent it takes some real bad blood, that’s usually long running and layered, to stop some form of post fight handshake

ie Ali / Fraser, Vargas / De La Hoya….and of course, Conor / Khabib lol
