Last night I happened to see a television advertisement for "Joint Juice" featuring Joe Montana ... hang gliding!!

I don't know how long this has been out, but it was a cute ad. The commercial starts off with Joe introducing the product:

Then they show Joe running, bicycling, running up stairs, playing ping pong, fencing, and doing some extreme gardening:

Then they show a short clip of Joe Montana ... hang gliding:

That's about as far as Joe will go because the next sequence shows Joe preparing to ride a bull:

That's where Joe draws the line. After sizing up the bull, Joe says "I don't think so". The commercial finishes up with Joe endorsing the product.

Sorry about the quality of these snapshots. I happened to capture the ad on VHS ... running in 6-hour mode. If you've got any more information on the ad, please post. The hang gliding shots look like they could be from Joe Greblo's school at Dockweiler Beach near LAX, but the clips are shot from an angle that's hard to tell.

Update August 21, 2020: YouTube version:

I just did a little searching and found the video at:

Joe looks pretty happy there.

That is a cute commercial. Considering most hang gliders are "impassionately seasoned" athletes, Joint Joice is a pretty good product to be aware of.

I took my first sip of Joint Juice earlier this evening (July 10th, 2020). It was pretty good!

I remembered the Joe Montana commercial (and this topic) from over 9 years ago. We are building some depth of history here on the U.S. Hawks!!

When I watched the video I actually remembered seeing the ad also. I like the way he passes on the bull riding.

There is a more recent ad for something showing an old woman launching in a hang glider. I don't remember what product was being advertised. Can anyone find that video?

I agree. That was the cutest part of the video.

I don't generally watch television, so I haven't seen it. If you see it again or remember the product, please post it. Knowing the product really helps find the video.

Frank,
This is not exactly on target about the old woman launch, but the words brought a treat:
