DC, the only shoe I ride.

For this advertisement exercise, I chose a Travis Pastrana DC Shoes advertisement that displays the famous X-Games participant riding a dirt bike with tires made out of DC shoes. Obviously, the wheelset was custom made, as there is no tire on the market that is composed of just shoes. Pastrana is seen jumping the “shoe bike,” and then promptly doing a burnout, which basically results in the destruction of the rear shoe tire. He is then heard stating, “DC, the only shoe I ride.”
Here is a direct link to the advertisement: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUfEsJJBUyM

I chose to accept this claim because it is valid. Seeing as how this is probably the first and only “shoe bike” that was ever made, I doubt Travis Pastrana will be riding any other shoes on the market, especially considering the fact that he is sponsored by DC Shoes. Through my personal experience, I have also never observed any shoes being ridden, only worn. Therefore, I think Travis Pastrana’s statement is valid and plausible.
