Same here. The ending is sooo cool and the music is just right. Makes me want to drag out the road bike and go for a 1 or 2 hundred mile ride

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.

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

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.

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.
