I was watching espn last night and I think it was an ecko commercial or maybe one of the companies they own, either way… it had a guy do a 360 unispin off of a box, thought it was kind of cool how unicycling made it into a big clothing companies commercial, my room mates saw it and thought it was sick how you could do that on a unicycle…just shows how naive the rest of the world is to unicycling. Any one else seen the commercial?
I tried to find the video, no luck so far. I skimmed throught Ecko TV on thier main page with no luck.
Did find this on a Google search: “Shortly after I traveled to California with Dan Heaton to unicycle/model for Ecko Unlimited in their section “Adrenaline” in the Macy’s Passport Fashion Show. We put together a riding segment and preformed it very successfully in all five shows. Three of which were in San Francisco and the other two in Los Angeles. Clips from the show posted below.”
Was the commercial you saw from the show? I didn’t see a 360 unispin in those clips.
This thread should be in RSU.
Yeah that’s definately him, the commercial was fairly short so i didnt realize it was Dan, and i didn’t realize he did a commercial with ecko, I only saw the commercial once and it was very brief
I thought about doing it in RSU but decided to put it in here as it is a convo more about the commercial not so much a convo that just relates to unicycling
and the commercial I saw was just on espn, i’m pretty sure it had a bmx biker also but it really didnt catch my attention untill i saw the uni
Wait… was it Dan or Shaun?
Shaun’s sponsored by Ecko… That’s him in the pic.
alright it’s probably shaun then, sorry, I couldnt tell that was shaun in the pic
The quote Unibrier posted is by Shaun also.
Dan Heaton and Shaun Johanneson both went to the Ecko show thing, it could have been either one on the commercial.
Just saw the commercial on the G4TV channel.
It is indeed Dan Heaton. It’s pretty cool, the commercial is short and sweet, but the 360 unispin goes in slow motion and takes up a good part of the commercial. I’ve got it recorded on DVR but have no way of putting it on the computer.
Isn’t Shaun supposed to be in one too? Has anyone seen it?
