Hi guys, i don't know if you'v seen the new Puma TV Commercial, its something we did a few months ago, for those that know us you see some faces you recognise, ie, Me, Zeb, and David, they.v doubled us up as many different characters, it was just the three of us on bocks, working with two pro football stunters,
it was great fun and took a week to film on location, one of the characters i play has a no 3, and the other is me kicking a side slam,its on billboards around the World. David is the one with shaved head, and zeb look for his little fringe hair cut.

it was realy cool, and we had to learn how to play football on bocks, the coaches were great and helped us with techneque.

No way! Is it hard? I was thinking other day if there was something like between duras and bocks they couyld be used for sports and everything

Its hard but a great laugh, we had to use a real full size ball, so the stunts you see, we realy had to do them.

I don't know why you think that kiola, don't forget we were working with the two top football stunters in the world, they did the realy tricky ball moves on foot, and we had to do best we could, some of the moves were done with crash matts under us, and the editers did the rest,

I thought you really did it. How did you land that job? Also did you get all the ads sent to you on a dvd? If you havnt you should

Thats one of Davids characters.
one of the producers was joking with us saying that's how evolution will change our legs,lol,

Thing is we are not actually that for off that! and you proved it

webmaster · « **Reply #16 on:** February 02, 2008, 10:54:10 PM »

Looks good, so is David someone new in the team? Get some pictures up so we can check out the likeness!

I'd love to see sommat like this on tv thou, I got in touch with the people but its all a photoshop job

Sx Nutta · « **Reply #17 on:** February 02, 2008, 10:56:02 PM »

wow look at the length of those springs!!

Spud · « **Reply #18 on:** February 02, 2008, 11:01:11 PM »

that is no way real right? You can see where the normal bocks were like split in photoshop and the spring made longer

stevie · « **Reply #19 on:** February 02, 2008, 11:04:37 PM »

they were just ideas the producers had, its what they were using when thinking of how the legs would look, but know we didnt see anything like that, we used our own bocks.

David has been with us for about 7 months, he's the one that landed front flip on his first day on bocks.

The picture I posted up, was photoshoped! But it looks great

The puma advert will have people talking, it would be great to see if you can get footage up of you guys training for it and doing the footy tricks etc

BOCKS ARE COOL!

stevie · « **Reply #23 on:** February 02, 2008, 11:17:16 PM »

They would'nt let us film anything but we could mock something, all we knew is it would be set in the future, using animation and graphics.
we just did what we were asked, the 2 pro footballers did the tricky stuff on foot, we had crash matts to use for high side kicks and slides etc, we didnt even know how we would look, we wore black suits with lots of little white dots on to pick up our movement, it was great.

Nice! He will make many envious, however if you have the right background its easy to transfer the skills to bocking too

Get David to come on the forum if you can, would be nice to get to know him, or post a pic of the current guys in the BBounce team it would be great to see the new faces
