Belgium Supports Winter Olympics Athletes With Eerie Dirt Snowboarding Video

Belgium has never hosted the Winter Olympics. Why? The answer is simple. The country has no mountains. Well that hasn’t stopped the country from producing a World Champion snowboarder. And to celebrate that fact, BBDO Belgium created a TV spot with a group of snowboarders led by Seppe Smits, boarding across the flat landscape of Belgium.

It’s a great way to ruin your snowboard — they’re snowboarding on dirt — but it’s an inspiring message set to the tune of Jacques Brel’s Le Plat Pays (The Flat Land), a popular song in Belgium.
