Yup.  I've never had such an interest in Olympic kayaking before.
Title: Re: Checkout Canada's Flag Bearer in Beijing!!!!
Post by: P.C. on Jul 24 08 09:06
Fascinating sport.  I've always said that.

    Always.
Title: Re: Checkout Canada's Flag Bearer in Beijing!!!!
Post by: Sportsdude on Jul 24 08 09:12
Yeah but can they make EPIC tv commercials?  
Title: Re: Checkout Canada's Flag Bearer in Beijing!!!!
Post by: Lil Me on Jul 24 08 09:25
Adam could sell or advertize anything, I'm quite sure.
Title: Re: Checkout Canada's Flag Bearer in Beijing!!!!
Post by: Sportsdude on Jul 24 08 09:31
I dunno. It would have to be Epic. Like him rowing down a BC stream, close up of pain on his face, its raining, and he picks up the single boat by himself walks away in the rain. With a crescendo music score.

Then commercial fades to black, pop up Canada's logo and use a slogan like 'Real' one word slogans are the best. Keep it under 3 if you have to.

That picture, at sunset, in the pouring rain in his rowing uniform. Easy commercial.  
Title: Re: Checkout Canada's Flag Bearer in Beijing!!!!
Post by: P.C. on Jul 24 08 09:36
Uniform ?
Title: Re: Checkout Canada's Flag Bearer in Beijing!!!!
Post by: Lil Me on Jul 24 08 09:38
Rowing?  What's all this about rowing?  He's a KAYAKER.
Title: Re: Checkout Canada's Flag Bearer in Beijing!!!!
Post by: Sportsdude on Jul 24 08 09:40
Yeah his official outfit

Oh cool even better. You could turn the EPIC ad into a Marine ad. he could kayak down a water fall then climb up a cliff, throw down the Canadian flag on top of a cliff.

Title: Re: Checkout Canada's Flag Bearer in Beijing!!!!
Post by: Sportsdude on Jul 24 08 09:53
EPIC

What seriously I could see a kayaking version of this ad:
[a href="vny!://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwY67LYzH7Q"]vny!://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwY67LYzH7Q[/a]

[a href="vny!://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zup4AfPK9gg"]vny!://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zup4AfPK9gg[/a]

Or Mr. Marine Man would be better (local St. Louis guy was killed in Afghanistan)
[a href="vny!://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIxmo-7KVUU"]vny!://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIxmo-7KVUU[/a]

They always used to play that ad during saturday cartoons when the 4-7 year old demo was watching. Then there's the one where the Marine slays a dragon. yeah.
