Mountain Dew Train Stunt
Bandito Brothers directing team Mike “Mouse” McCoy and Scott Waugh are responsible for a risky television commercial in which a skate boarder rides down a Chicago subway escalator before skate-skiing behind a subway train.
The spot opens with a point of view angle on a skater’s head, showing us the top of the escalator. It’s 6:06. Time to surf! Once on the subway platform the skater is thrown a water-skiing rope and handle for the next part of the journey. The ad finishes with the warning, “Do not Dew this at home” and a shot of viewers mauling over a can of Mountain Dew.

Voor het frisdrankje Mountain Dew, sinds kort mtnDew geheten, van PepsiCo. Do not Dew this at home, staat er aan het eind, haha. Het skateboard/ski-filmpje is opgenomen in de metro in Chicago en knap getruukt. The Inspiration Room. [...]
