Cool ad

Have any of you HADA guys seen this?

That is one of the neatest ads I've seen, but did you notice that when the tire is bumped, and rolls UP the plank, it picks up speed?

That is the only clue that the thing may be a composite.

Actually, the tire is weighted. The ad is 100% real. See this article:

"At one point three tyres, amazingly, roll uphill. They do so because inside they have been weighted with bolts and screws which have been positioned with fingertip care so that the slightest kiss of kinetic energy pushes them over, onward and, yes, upward. "
