With the greatest of ease. Actually they’re balloons, of course, and they represent the bubbles found within the candybar that goes by the name “Aero.” It’s a Nestlé Chocolate sort of bar, last I checked, and it tastes pretty alright. This commercial is amazing. It’s more than a commercial, it’s an exercise in glorious graphic activation and collection. Setting up the pins and knocking them down. Really, for real. The skateboarder in these images (and video) is the fabulous Bob Burnquist, a man I became familiar with a few years ago when the greatest game of all time came out: Tony Hawk Pro Skater. He’s part of a special family of those involved. But that’s got nothing to do with this, does it? Yes of course it does! All fate flows according to the will of the great magnet. You’d better believe it!
This man, this skateboard king Bob Burnquist is a special, special fellow, and choosing him to skateboard through balloons representing chocolate is always the right thing to do. Good job! The director of this video is “Skate Fairy” aka Ty Evans, a dude whose got an amazing track record and a mysterious presence on these internets.
He’s doin it right.
So these bubbles are the bubbles of an Aero bar. Buy a candybar if you love this video, I bet it’s trying to say. What it says to me is: balloons don’t slow you down when you’re skating a bowl, pipe, or wall, so using balloons to hyperize your movement in a skateboard video is completely a legit and amazing thing to be doing.
Fun, fun, so much fun.
