Skateboarding legend Tony Hawk is coming to Australia for the Sydney Telstra 500 V8 Supercars race. So GPY&R, Brisbane thought it would be cool to build him the world’s first V8 powered skateboard.
On Friday, the official video of ‘Tony Hawk’s V8 Skateboard Project’ was posted on V8 Supercars’ YouTube channel and Facebook page to an audience of 110,000 V8 hard-core fans. Within hours it occupied the coveted ‘Top Trending’ spot on YouTube’s homepage becoming Australia’s third most watched video for the day.

Not sure what relevance Tony Hawk has to V8s, but who gives a shit when you’re strapping a V8 to a skateboard? Love it!
Very funny.
Can’t believe it’s come out of Patts too.
Well done.
Tony Hawk is coming to the Sydney 500. Suppose that’s the link…
gnarly.
nice one brendan.
tony hawk is as relevant as pink.
but this is way better.
Love it. But it’s very similar to the Ray Barneveld moment in the 2007 darts final.

awesome, piet.
Patts have easily assumed the mantle of top creative agency in that town if the 2 current Briz campaigns on here today are anything to go by.
Good to see frankly – I hate one hit wonders.
Except Video killed the Radio Star. That was really good.
