Ahh! I just saw one but it was talking about vision or something.

The whole commercial was of Dan, doing Muni, and street lines. Very
sweet. I think that commercial is going to sell more unicycles than
whatever they were trying to actually sell.

The Ecko one was pretty awesome, but it was just one short clip. It had
a Moto-X guy doing a superman, then the 360 unispin off the bench, both
in slow-mo.

I had it recorded on our DVR once but with no way of transferring it to
the computer.


Haven't seen this new one...

Commercial is online!

Check out www.columbia.com and click on "Meet Dan Heaton" on the bottom

I LIKE IT!

Wow, this is absolutely great.
Can you tell us some more about the "making of"?
And it is great that you still enjoy unicycling, even if you weren't
that visible on the "world stage" lately (at least that's what it
seemed like here).

Hey John,

The mountain part of the commercial was filmed on a 'secret' trail just
South of North Bend. I think you know the one i'm talking about...

I've been there 5 times in the last couple months and there has been a
lot of work put into lately...

We should get a group together to ride it someday soon...

You spoke really nicely during the interview. Clear and to the point. I
don't even have to mention that the riding was awesome. I am wondering
myself when Defect 2 is going to come out. It will be hard to find an
animal larger than a Bison taking a crap though! LOL

Unfortunately my web acces is too slow at work. I'll watch it at home,
just to enjoy it the way it deserves to be.

Technically, Dan could already ride like that *before* Columbia came
knocking at his door. But I know what you mean, it really makes
Columbia attractive as an outfitter for unicyclists all of a sudden...

BTW Dan, how did the relationship with Columbia come about? It was an
awesome commercial (on the web site), and thanks for pointing out the
much longer version. One of my photos was even in there! Very well
done. Not bad for a guy who barely considers himself a MUni rider...
:)

Columbia had gotten their hands on a copy of UNiVERsE 2 and contacted me
about filming a unicycling spot. They were interested in profiling
pioneers of sports that were a little bit out of the norm and this fit
well with what they wanted to do.

There are 3 other spots that will be coming out on some other pretty
neat sports/activities too...

Yes, I got some gear out of it. Pretty comfortable and functional
stuff. The shoes I wore were super protective and gripped the pedals
well.

I can't figure out how to embed quotes from other people... but sadly
there will be no Defect 2... but that is probably just because my next
film will be called something else...
