Title: Sadly, as I look at a Nike BMX ad, I realize...
Post by: Parker on June 24, 2011, 09:13:49 PM: The only Nike swoosh that I have ever seen prominantly in bbing is the one in Kevin Levrone's World Gym....

Odd how some dudes with some (very nice) bikes who do tricks can be featured in a Nike ad--which is a two pager in a BMX mag...

Not only is the BMX world a subculture (which I'm thinking about fixing up my BMX bike) like bbing, but everybody has a bike, and almost everybody buys supps nowadays...

We say bbing is not mainstream, yet a famous/infamous line from Snooki about "juice up guys" was talked about. You have The Situation showing his poor exuse for abs, having a workout vid and supp line...
Yet, the closest I think a bber got to getting a Nike deal was Levrone and his rumored Nike endorsement in the 90's, hence the Nike brand symbol in his gym at the time...

In short, BMX riders get more respect from Nike than our own balla---Phil Heath...

the people in those countries are better off because of nike.. even tho they get paid close to nothing... the people choose to work at nike because other wise theyd be a hole lot closer to nothing..

its really an argument for globalisation and forced minimum wages/working standards in all countries.

Nikes should be made in Mexico, Dominican Rep., Haiti, or Cuba

I fail to see how this is not ideal.
