Shooting this 30-second Super Bowl spot was a huge amount of fun... so much fun in fact, we realized that we had FAR more good footage than we could use in 30 seconds. So, being the high-tech hipsters that we are, we commissioned a music video. Click on the graphic to view this epic piece of cinematography.
And here's the first of many contests: the first commenter to tell us our musician's former band affiliations wins some cool Garmin schwag.

I was lucky to be the fastest with an answer. I do see many others were more knowledgeable and complete with their answers though. Awesome video, hope the SB commercial gets a good response too.
I own a Forerunner 301 and use it to record road bike and mountain bike rides. It has been real snowy and icy here in Colorado this winter, so I am mostly using the heart rate monitor while on my rollers. At least I have lost 4 pounds since the first of the year.
I am a Mac fanatic, and look forward to implementing the Mac Training software soon.
Thanks Garmin,
Warren

Hello, Steve Grimmett was with Grim Reaper, Onslaught and Lionsheart as well as the Steve Grimmett Band. I'm not sure if there were any other bands in his background.
