Audi S4 Quattro Ski Urban Carving
Audi has released a new ad for the Audi S4 Quattro featuring a skiier in red carving up the steep streets of San Francisco. Asphalt flies everywhere as speed skiier John “Mad Cow” Hembel, dressed in red, navigates city trams and parking meters.
The ad, online at Audi’s Quatro microsite, is designed to demonstrate the improved handling provided by the Audi’s sports differential. The idea for the commercial came from Audi engineers who said that the Quattro felt like ski carving. Hembel was filmed over three days using roller blades, which were replaced with skis in post production.

Hi, if you start adding The Inspiration Room to ‘your’ YouTube-commercials, as with this one, there’s hardly any need to quote TIR in the accompanying text that goes with the showing of commercials…
Which might not be so good for your ratingsscore.
Right?
It wasn't performed on “roller blades” it was a product called StreetSki, the fastest downhill skates in the World.
