Great video!
Only thing wrong is that it's in support of Nike. The last scene is cool until you realize that Nike supports kids making their shoes for pennies rather than what they try to portray in their commercials.
Wow. What a cool commercial. Makes me glad I ride.

Too bad they don't sell Nike shoes at WalMart. You guys could really get yourselves all twisted up.

It gave me the warm fuzzys and a longing to hit the open road.
A little "Rockyish" at the end...but nice. Very sweet.
Great imagery, sound, music - very nice! The ending is very cool too... The thing that struck me is I can't believe the USPS is throwing away all that great publicity! How many times did we see the Postal logo in that spot? lol

Ya I'd like to know as well. :(
I think its a flash video, meening you cant download it
Hmm... I just noticed that particular Nike website for the new ad has the old Sun logo as its shortcut icon/mini-icon/favicon. Neat.
I ripped the video off the flash site. If you guys want the video, either IM me or find a place where I can stash about 18-19 meg of video.

yeah i would like to download that commercial too. btw, my friend told me about a commerical that lance did a couple years back. i think it was during the time when people couldn't believe how he almost died and could win tour de france without being on drugs. anyone know of that commercial? i heard his reply in that commercial was: "on drugs? the only thing i'm on is on my bike busting my ass 6 hrs a day." i heard that was some powerful moments. if anyone know where i can get that commercial, i would like to see that one!
I just saw the commercial on TV. I love it

Hey, what's with the chin strap swinging away?
From BHSI: * The chin strap should be snug against the chin so that when you open your mouth very wide you feel the helmet pull down a little bit.

What's your technique? It's been a while since I ganked embedded movies.

I was wondering that myself, either lance can open his mouth like an alligator or it was done for effect.

Go to C:\Documents and Settings\[USER]\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files
and grab nike_lance_birds_video_large_320x240_15fps_290kbps, that's the file with the video.
Then download http://www.flashants.com/download/SWF2Video1.1Trial.exe which would rip the audio and video and combine it into an avi file. The only thing is the trial puts a big X across the video. I'm sure you can find an "altered" version of the executable out there that has the X removed... ;)

I'm pretty sure I've seen race footage of him and the stap was doing the same thing.
He probably wants it loose so he can move his jaw wide, but that defeats the purpose of a helmet. A lot of hockey players wear their straps that loose too.
