We can remember when he was just a suicidal DH sprog but our mate Rob Jarman has now got himself a 3D TV advert of his very own. Well actually it's not an advert for him as you can't buy him (although he can be hired for stunt work, coaching and babysitting) but for Boardman's Pro suspension bike. What we're excited about though is not just the wonders of a 3D vision version but also the fact the new TV ad has been filmed at Cwm Carn. The eagle eyed will spot some classic sections and some new bits as Rob flies over them and out of your screen in the short ad titled "The Commute". You'll need the specs from the Channel 4 3D season though, as the ones we got when we went to the picture house to see "Up" just made us look like Buddy Holly rather than adding a new dimension to the visuals.
Anyway, you can watch the 2D version on your typing telly here
