BMX champ Caroline Buchanan navigates breakfast obstacles

A new campaign for Nutri-Grain in Australia, by Wunderman Thompson, features eight-time world BMX champion and two-time Olympian Caroline Buchanan, as well as Rhys Kember, an Australian Pro freestyler BMX rider.

The online ad is above, and you can also watch the slightly different TVC version.

The props in the spot, including the three-storey cereal box, are real, not visual effects, thanks to production agency Airbag. 

The agency relates the campaign's 'Unstoppable' theme to Buchanan’s determination: in her career she's overcome the loss of her home to bushfire and an off-road accident that took 12 surgeries and 20 months of rehabilitation to come back from. She'll be competing this summer at the Tokyo games.
