You've got to post that video! Brian, call B.S. on him and rag him until he post's it for us. :D

I could be wrong too but I think it was "Pole vaulters are sprinters who aren't afraid of heights." :D

coach shealy-i remember when the stacy commercial came out-it was the original carolina extreme team in a fuddruckers somewhere-u.s.a. when bryan johnson and i were trying to tackle that three pound burger-but i cannot remember what year it was. since bryan was there, that would almost have to make it 2000 but i am not sure. anyways-i spoke to him not too long ago. he is a byu still and word is he is doing fine.

I think so. I don't remember where we were though. I think maybe USATF JO Regional at NC State. Isn't that when you had food poisoning. Not from Fudruckers though. Tell Bryan hello!

I've done a little talent work. Nothing like Nick's, LoJo's or Russ's...they got the big bucks. This link is from a shoot I did on a horse farm for Ingersoll-Rand Utility Vehicles. They sell old golf carts that have been refurbished by Club Car with mud tires, nice paint job and such. They sell them at Tractor Supply stores.

I've done several commercials but I haven't seen them yet since they are played in other markets. I would love to see the final version of one we shot for Lane Venture Furniture. I had a drop dead georgeous, late 20's, model as my wife for the evening :P . We got to snuggle and act intimate for about an hour in front of an outdoor fireplace, on a love seat that retails for around $1,000, ...for patio furniture. LOL I had a lot of fun on that one. :yes: ;)

Who remembers the University of Oregon pole vaulter who became the Calvin Klein dude. The story goes, he was discovered while on a warm down jog after practice. He's probably been on more commercials for TV, print and billboard commercials than any other vaulter.

On Jan's Skysystems III Video (I think that it's III), he's got a Kellogg's Corn Flakes TV commercial that looks and sounds like it was British. A vaulter - but I don't know who it is - vaults over a box of Corn Flakes (but the box looks like it's about 16 feet high or so the way that the video/film is put together).
