Simple concept. Even if you don't realize it at first, that those objects aren't supposed to be on the track.

very very very simple, but good idea.

maybe, less colorful could have been a better look

(i love fast motorcycles and watch every race.)

ingenious campaigns are simple.
this one used stockphotage and some editing to get the message communicated.

the idea is straight forward, the execution didnt cost much and the rating is 9/10.

great job folks!

Works.

Seems to be done 'by bikers for bikers'.

Bravo.

I think it's a great ad - and gets the point across.

One small point - I notice they don't show hazards like road signs or 'cheese-cutter' barrier wires that could be made safer for motorcyclists!

Excellent!
It actually hurts in my guts to watch the guy slide towards the concrete bench.

Very well done! I hope I will see this again sooner or later. Or maybe often as you still do it for everyone.
