And, cancer aside, there's clear evidence that Mr. A-lot did NOT post his
comments twice; there seems to be a bad bot afoot.

At least someone's making sense.

The same statistical error (see 1 in 8 above)
applies to his 1 in 3 claim. You can google
numerous sources as well as following Corvus' link.

Thanks Gary. It doesn't matter. Pete will be Pete. I got my point
across to everyone else. Cancer is bad, period. I am lucky and honored
to work for an organization that is trying to eliminate the disease. If
one person shows up to the event because of my post, it was worth it.

I thought he could've been in an xterra race. Rain or shine... the
race goes on. Nissan sponsers the series you know.

Mountain biker is Shaums March. What you don't see is that he's riding in a
private Moto-X park. Those trails are beaten up by Moto-X bikes already.

That's the point though,

the viewers assume it's pristine wilderness and the baby bunnies and baby
does are running for cover with sheer terror in their big brown eyes!!!!!

I don't know Shaums March. The original poster didn't know who "a mountain
biker" was either. A righteous avocate like yourself can explain your
problem with public perception to Mr. Powerslide himself. Maybe you can
suggest a disclaimer at the end of the commercial that "No trails were
harmed in the production of this commercial"

I was the OP and I am "a mountain biker" and certainly know what one is.
I don't give a **** where the commerical was filmed or which dewbie
starred in it. As a person who maintains and fights for trail use in my
area, I know what the people off the street looking for action and
"other non mountain biker" users think when they see that commercial.
The barnies think, "wow, that's some wicked shiat. I'm gonna git me a
mountain bike from Wal-mart and rip some trails". The non-mtb users
think, "see, that's why we have to stop those damn bikers from ruining
our trails. We keep telling them not to ride when it's wet and they do
it anyway". They don't relate it to a fictional commercial.

Maybe you don't have the trail use issues we have. Unfortunately, I
live in an overpopulated and overdeveloped metropolitan cess pool. I
have to fight for every square inch of land I ride on. That commerical
does not help my situation.

"For your new Xterra commerical which shows a "mountain biker""

is Shaums March.

Contact the Dewbie about your concerns. He either doesn't give a sh*T about
your concerns or perhaps didn't see the PUBLIC PERCEPTION. He may be in a
position to influence future commercials. Who knows the Dewbie might spread
the word to other "blah blah (insert name) blah blah." All Dewbies incomes
are based on public recognition and prestige. Look at the basketball Dewbie
who lost significant income because of a PUBLIC PERCEIVED misstep.

Please don't tell me you are comparing professional basketball players
to "professional" mountain bikers (if there really is such a thing).
We're talking about a guy who losing sponsorship still nets him over 8
million a year compared to a guy who makes what? $30,000 a year when
you take away the free swag, gear, and through in his bike mech job at
the end of the race? I don't think he's in a position to influence
which way he pisses, let alone a multibillion dollar automotive company.

The "perception" was for him to realize. I guess when you don't make
that much money and someone throws a meaty bone at you, perception is
blurry.

I figured it was at least two degrees to Kevin Bacon, with you dropping
his name and all. It doesn't matter who the powerslider was, what
matters is the perception the public is getting about mountain biking
from that crappy commercial. Nissan is the bad guy here. Get it yet?

Agree that Nissan is the bad guy here but not because of the mtb portion of
the crappy commercial.
