Agree about the Red Bull business, but Adidas is notorious - although not as bad as Nike - for its sweatshop practices of the past.

Agree again. I'd like to have seen how Rueck got across to the Pole rather than just pulling that bit of slack in. What I do like about this video is the sense of fun that so clearly shines through. Another great advertisement for the wilds of Tasmania, although they should have given Roger credit for his "build your own Totem Pole" model. ;-)
