    Dun matter... I think any rider over 25/30ish should call 'em up. Just be honest with your age. Can't hurt. If you want the deets, shoot me a PM.

    Yeah, I'm not 40, but maybe I can pass for it...

    This is tomorrow? Hmm, short notice.

    Are we riding our own bikes in our own gear or any other details?

    So sounds like it's for a Bombardier CanAm commercial?

    I am old enough and almost proportional but the expert rider at highway speeds has me on the outside looking in.

    I sent out a few PMs, and am curious if any of you get out there to audition. Keep us posted - I'd like to know if any CSCers get this gig!

    Re: CASTING for TV COMMERCIAL (legit)

    Also - to those who get called to the audition, please DO NOT SHARE THE DETAILS of the gig publicly. Although you will most likely not have to sign any type of NDA at the audition, it's just considered poor form to disclose commercial gigs before they shoot and/or air. It's one thing to tell friends and family, but I just ask that you avoid posting details on internet forums, and places the clients could potentially see.

    The clients (the company making the commercial in this case) put a lot of time and effort into their campaigns, and they try to keep them as hush-hush as possible prior to them being aired.

    Thanks!

    Out of curiosity, what happened when you got there?

    And, did you ride down there or just wear/bring all your gear?
