Extremepie.com
launches “Extremepie Buy” the world’s first ever
Extreme Sports action and TV shopping show, and so it begins…….
Hugh
Geach the industries leading figure responsible for running the
British Television Shopping Association training courses and approving
broadcasts for OFCOM said: ‘Great show, one of the
best infomercials I have ever seen’ while approving
Extremepie buy for broadcast.
So just what is it exactly?
Extremepie
Buy is a new TV show from Extremepie.com Europe’s
leading online surf, skate and snow store. The show combines great
deals on surf, skate and snow gear from brands like Billabong, Roxy,
Animal and Ex Gear with the best Extreme sports footage from around
the planet. Representing the ethos of Extremepie.com, the new show
is fast, furious and entertaining while offering the best range
of extreme sports clothing on or offline. It is all delivered in
a tongue in cheek manner by the two presenters: Toby Styling, Extreme
Group’s Global Style Director and Jessica Molloy, who has
presented for MTV, Sky Sports and modelled for Levis.
Toby
and Jessica were chosen for their cheesy presenting skills, instant
chemistry, knowledge of extreme sports, their sales banter, but
most importantly of all their ability to deliver an international
cast of characters from “The Beach Bums from Down Under”,
to “The American Trailer Trash” and more. “It’s
It’s insane, its like Wayne’s World does QVC shopping,
its going to become a cult viewing" one viewer said.
Extremepie
Buy will premier on the Extreme Sports Channel at 2pm every Monday,
Wednesday, Friday and at 7am on Saturday and Sunday through Oct.
It will also be popping up on other relevant networks as Game Network,
the Wrestling Channel and Overload TV. Viewers will be able to sit
back and just dig the mad presenters and insane action and shoppers
will be able to phone in and buy there and then, or access the entire
range by logging onto http://www.extremepie.com
Al Gosling, CEO of Extreme Group explains “From the day we
set up Extremepie.com it was always our goal to push the boundaries,
This ground breaking show gets the Extreme Sports Channel and Extreme
Retail working hand in hand to ultimately increase revenues for
both companies. I am looking forward to seeing how the viewers and
brands react"
The
music was supplied by unsigned band Triggerfish, chosen because
of their new youth driven sound and the extreme sports clips were
supplied by participating brands Billabong and Globe, with each
piece selected to match the products sales segments.
The products showcased in the first Extremepie Buy show are the
pick of the bunch, with the exclusive “Pool Backpack”
from Hurley, “Scattered belt” from Billabong, the “Catfish
sunglasses” from Arnette and limited editions of the “Stormriders
Guide book”.
