I don't know if it's just nostalgia from my childhood or maybe ya'll would agree with me but...

When I used to read DirtRider(before it sucked) TWMX and RacerX in the late 90's and early 00' s...I used to think the ads were sick and they actually got me pumped to ride.

Not exacly too vintage...but



couldn't find it but the "do you see the world in yz" ads were also, very cool.

hmmmm

Theres a great old one posted a few times on vital with Yamaha's Hannah, Glover, and Burgett. Another good old one was RM125, 250, 370, fast, faster, white knuckles.

I think fmf has had some damn good ad campaigns lately

Flipping through the new TWMX right now. I'm see some pretty well done ads.
The 2012 Gear Guide is pretty creative too

The OEM's used to have some pretty good ad agencies to do their creative stuff. Budget cut happened and now it' just blah...

The western themed Yamaha ads with Henry, Dowd, Windham were really cool and creative.

one of my fav's is when honda had the red riders club card or whatever...

showed some local pro and his gf behind a truck with a mint 2001 cr250 in the back.

the newer FMF 2-stroke ads are pretty good

I'm kinda partial to a new ad in the December Racer X!

(I don't know how to post a pic on here using my phone yet...DUH.)

Anyway, the new CTi ad is pretty sweet! Haha

Flipping through the new TWMX right now. I'm see some pretty well done ads.

I wasn't big on TWMX guide. With the gear i thought you didn't see enough of it. And i know that they were all just guides, but there was no reviews on anything, bikes, works parts, etc. Maybe i'm not seeing the point, but i would like a little blurb about the product.
