That "Carbon Chameleon" ad doesn't really work, sorry Santa Cruz.

"There's something in our aisles". Really?

Like the brown and blue colour scheme though.

I reckon it’s the best ad I’ve seen in ages. Not just bikes.

I loved that. Compare and contrast with the Orange Factory video someone posted up a while back...

Still can't afford one though.

It really does, though.
My wife thought it was ace, and told me I needed to buy one purely to support the awesomeness of the ad.

I thought of the massive embarrassment that was the Orange vid as well!

I think thats great. Looks like they had fun making it and it's the normal people that work there rather than just pro riders showing they can do with it.

Now I love a good pun...........

and its not a good pun and destroys the song but as an advert for the company probably good - all employees and credited at end ok by me and remember if you don't get an advert its because you probably aren't in the target audience....

And, be honest, if SC hadn’t made the culture club connection, every single mag/review would have done it for them anyway.

Great video - laughed throughout it and I'd now like to work there, thanks. If nothing, it's a good advert for SC themselves!

Confession time - I was posting about the banner/wrap advert displaying on here, didn't realise there was an accompanying video.

Makes sense now, I agree it's good fun and a refreshing change.

There, I can admit when I'm wrong (ish).
