Hardcore sitters

Aaron Fotheringham, also known as Wheels (love that!) goes to skate parks in his wheelchair.

So the company that supplies his wheelchair used a video of him doing the first wheelchair backflip to promote their website. Half a million hits just goes to show that any video a company ever makes should be put on the major video sharing sites.

I wanna know what Aaaron does next. He calls it Hardcore Sitting.


Not a bad choice of music either.

Tecktonik

Urban, youth & trend: three words that combine to universally excite marketers around the world.

And given how Parkour leapt out of Parisian banlieues and onto the table in lots of agencies, it’s surely worth taking notice of the latest in Parisian youth culture: Tecktonik [def]. It’s a dance. It has an associated look – think skinny jeans, big trainers, big colours and…er.. that Beckham mohican again – and it’s taking France by storm.

Start with Jey-jey Wantek’s first YT video (>10m hits). And then wait for the slew of bandwagon ads.

Errrrrrm… Napoleon Dynamite?
