Brilliant effort and a good vid too, except the little bit out of focus. Well we now know what he's done on Grit!

Well played, young man - nice video as well; no bl**dy music for a start.

Goodness, young people are bendy, aren't they?

Yes, a very fine and sporting effort.

And you're right about the lack of music - no self-indulgent rubbish.

Good effort and I really like the clear and unpretentious video. It's obviously pretty scary just from the facts without the faux drama of some over-used musical score.

Great vid, great effort.

Out of curiosity, how did he do the crux multiple times before doing the first move? Or is the second sentence of the article just mangled?

Joint tactics I'd imagine.
