Subaru Base jumping

[Darius11 12]

Can’t find it anywhere on line.

Has any one seen the Subaru BASE commercial where the guy jumps of a cliff then goes to work?
I haven’t seen it but would like to

Any one have a link?


Thanks

My only problem with the commercial is that they don't show the deployment clearly, and the jumper appears to have a poor body position. Not a very good track at all.

I guess I'm a geek. I like the commercial.

There's no time to track on a sub terminal jump. Watch the commercial again and you'll notice that enough of the jump is shown. They show the initial deployment after a short delay and based on how the canopy opens, it tells you that it is a slider down jump off of a low'ish object. There is no time to track.

Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

Such very serious responses to a tongue-in-cheek remark.
Hey, I dug the commercial. And that's that.

Did you notice that there's a disclaimer in small type on the bottom of the screen? I forgot the exact wording, but I'm sure it's along the lines of "Stunt professional--do not attempt."

In other words, "Don't purchase property next to a 500-ft. cliff. And don't build a house on it. And don't extend your driveway to the edge of it. And don't do a BASE jump down to your vehicle."

I'm not saying the disclaimer shouldn't be there--it should. It's just funny to think about all the hassle you'd have to go through to duplicate the situation.

"DOOR!!!"

WTF? I can't respond tongue-in-cheek to a tongue-in-cheek remark? If you've heard of Dave, you know he's got skillz.

So how much do you think he got paid to do that shoot? Getting paid to BASE jump what's this world coming to. The making of was pretty cool.


How does he get back up to his house?

Dont know how much he got paid but I can tell you I once did a Degree commercial for extreme athlets and they wanted me to BASE jump but there is no safe place here to BASE jump and/or to film a commercial like that so I ended up doing a pendulum jump from a bridge and I got $5,000 for making 7 jumps of a bridge in a few hours. This was for local TV, and some places in US like hispanic market.

No better way to get paid than doing something you like.

You're right. It would be much better as a Subaru commercial. At least they make decent vehicles.

Does anybody else find it ironic that in the modern car sales environment (the "who's bigger and can appear to do more" environment), in which most SUV's are shown CLIMBING mountains, this commercial essentially is telling you "Not only can we not get there, but you'll have to learn to BASE jump just to get to your car"?

I mean, showing people doing badass things in your commercial is one thing, but that seems a little counterintuitive.

Good point!

"Our 'SUV' is not able to get up to where you live. It'll have to wait way down here for you. Parachute down when you need to drive it somewhere. No way it's goin' up there! Ain't happenin'!"
