has anybody else seen that skydiving commercial?

Yeah, I've seen it a couple times. . .It looks like Lake Elsinore is where it was filmed over. I have seen that lake at altitude a few times. . .lol.

Pretty cool. . .

Yep - that's a cool advert. Had to laugh at the very ammusing sterotyped attempt at a Scottish accent the gum had! Why did they choose a Scottish accent? What are they trying to imply?
What image of the Scots do the Americans have that would make them use a mad chuteless-skydiving piece of gum in an ad campaign!?
I'm not sure why, but I take it as a compliment!:ph34r:!

Well, it is always nice to see our sport get some exposure.

The skydiver in the ad looked like he just got off student status though.

(The helmet and the oversized container are a dead give away)

I was a little dissapointed that all they showed was a guy doing belly to earth.

Yep. saw that one. There is also the very brief footage of a jumper in one of the new Halls commercials. Very, very short footage but it sure makes you look up at the sky and whimper knowing its gonna be awhile before the weather lets you back up
