Steve-O you did a great job. Are you going to auction off Rachel's nitrous shorts? LOL. She seemed very informed about the sport, not like some reporters you see on the news. Is she going to continue the lessons?

Thanks bro. Yes I was very impressed with how much Rachel listened and researched. She takes her sh*t seriously. My only frustration of the story, and I must have said this to her 1000 times, was how important it was to get lessons. She tried to cram so much in 5 minutes. I think she got it, just wish she had said it. I knew something or another was going to get left out. It was fun and glad to be able to put a positive spin on a sport surrounded in such negativity. She had a great time doing it, and I think the story captures that, and isn't that what its all about.......having a great time???

"the artists had previously determined how the paint should flow
the elder found vice on the tip of his toe
and made it his selfish goal to set out and escalate his status quo
now the piece was split in two... a mutiny if you will

the tale does not end there
for only one option could be fair
the elder refused to care
as he sat upon his "almighty" chair,
while the victims sat in deep despair

again the story doesn't end for these two men
from here on out shall never blend
never again will the hand extend
for the elder lost a friend."

Of course it was an ad, WSW is a business.

In terms of commercials (from a technical writer's pov) , that one was very well done. The info was presented concisely and correctly. Clips/images tied in perfectly with the narration which was accurate. Not sure about those Dakine shorts rockin' (if you like wedgies like Tom, I guess).
Otherwise, I can't see how you would improve upon it. Also, Steve-O was clear and didn't look like a beach stoner (nice job).

Alex, I hope that's not required reading for college students these days. It ends in rhyme but has zero reason or flow.
Not sure that would even have gotten a "B" from Dr. Littlefield.
