"There may be a couple good clips, but there's always the standout crash clip that is the most memorable visual of the commercial and that's why mountain biking is used. For crashes." If you look at a NASCAR promo, a sport which is heavily sponsored, you'll see a whole mess of crashes. That's how they attempt to gain interest in the sport to the casual fan.
