Nike 6.Oh My God

Babble 08/08/2008

Nike converted an amphibious armor-plated war-truck from 1959 into an extreme sports mobile HQ for Mountain Dew’s Action Sports Tour.

“The 8-wheeled ill-mobile is capable of crossing deserts, climbing mountains and taking the team to any secret spot. Racks for bikes, surfboards, wakeboards, skateboards, mean going anywhere for any scene. There’s an on deck bbq for grilling up fresh meat, a deluxe camper shell salvaged from a junkyard in remote corner of Oregon and a basement couch for a front seat. Rails to grind are featured on both sides, and a quarter pipe folds down for impromptu sessions. The stereo system requires 2 car batteries, a set of jumper cables and a little luck, but once it’s blasting, it’s like a stick of dynamite in your eardrum.”

Also, they’re looking for a name for it, if you want to suggest one via their site.

“We’ve created this beast of a machine and we need help coming up with a suitable name. It’s a souped-up, tricked out, action sports shred-mobile: part amphib, part 1970’s camper, 100% rock and roll. Let’s name this thing!!”

Their 3 favorites right now are:

1. Shred-a-baggo
2. Ill-mobile
3. Precious

I’m just going to add a few to the list:

4. The 4mpg-er
5. The Air Extreeeeme, dude.
6. The Will-Never-Be-Used-For-Anything-Mentioned-Above
