One of my former employees was one of the kids in the last scene of this ad. He was on for about two seconds and Micky D gave him $10,000 for his trouble. Nice work. Im a veterinarian and he is a chiropractor now.
I was in this commercial ( blue and white # 51) Spent two days filming split between the first day at my home track Cross up Bmx in Spring TX. and Armadillo Downs in Conroe Tx.. My nickname was Pink Gator among fellow racers.
Way cool. I just found out this was out here. I'm 82c at 00:35. It was so fun being 13, missing 2 days of school to film, ridin my bike and gettin paid!
Video filmed at Armadillo Downs Conroe, Texas circa 1982. This visdeo is how Monte Gray got the nickname McMonte. He is the guy in the Red and White with stars on the sleeve. There is a whole page dedicated to this track on facebook.
I remember this commercial back when I was in 8th grade in 1983. I was glued to the TV on saturday mornings just hoping to see this commercial flipping between 3 cartoon channels. That was when BMX was in its prime. THANKS FOR THE COOL MEMORIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I remember practicing the scene at the very end for days until we got it right. Cool to see this again.

Well, I wouldn't want my son to "team up" with McD's for fuel to win a race, but this flashback to the 80's is pretty kickin.

The brown-haired guy with the yellow visor was my next-door neighbor for most of my life and a best friend when this came out. Thanks for the post!

McDonalds or any other fast food place would give you the shits especially during such high exertion activities.
