Jannard Circa 1979...

[Jarred Land]

Jim will probably kick my ass for posting this but look what I found rummaging through the old Oakley archives...

This was one of the earliest Oakley ads, that Jim shot and laid out himself.. He shot a good chunk of the Oakley ad campaigns over the last 30 years... something I don't think alot of people know.

That is what I call a master in marketing.
Days will tell if the Red One has done good to the industry or not.

 

[Zach Zoller]

I think these grips should be re-released for a hand held set up!

I bought many pairs of Oakley 1's. They would only last for a week or two before being stolen, we had to start glueing them on. I think we would get them from a bike store in Los Alamitos or Cypress, and I think we met Jim there once. They were highly coveted.

"Shot and Directed by J. Jannard" - No idea how old it is.

But Red's should be "Definitely An Unfair Advantage!"

I would just like to point out that 27 must be Jim's favorite number

That's a pretty awesome ad! Got anything else you can post?

Funny how Nostalgia...

Funny how Nostalgia...

is hitting me right now. Love the Type face... always.

Wonder why Jim picked/approved it.

Now if someone can post some Ocean Pacific Tee shirts I will be in heaven.

But skip the whole Jams thing, that was almost like parachute pants.

HAHAHAHAHa

Hey was that Jim Jannard

Hey was that Jim Jannard

on the left side of the guy (being purifeid or whatever)... Guess I am thinking a Hitchcock moment,
probably not.

I think I will go to bed now.

 

[Robert Frank]

This is great stuff Jarred! You can really see Jim's creative esthetic in both ads.


Got any more?

 

[David Collard]

That's fun. One of these days Jim will be compelled to have his autobiography written.

Never knew he Shot or Directed! how cool

 

[A. Bastaki]

maan.. i loooved that moto.. or tag line... almost an unfair advantage

 

[Obin Olson]

Id love to see more creative from Jim...that was really well done

 

[Joel J. Feigenbaum]

The evidence mounts. Not only is Jim a brilliant visionary, he's got some pretty amazing directing chops. Am I surprised? Not!

 

[Roberto Lequeux]

Thanks for sharing the video. I like how Jim seems so dramatic but also compassionate and humanitarian. Nice job Jim! It is also great to see people taking full advantage of good audio!

I had a set of these grips on my Skyway TA BMX, i still have a set on my bike now original from the 80"s...what a blast from the past. I think they were called Oakley F1's from memory. Great grips...thanks fro the memory.
