no doubt about it. Gene Kelly in Heelys would put even the Flying Steps to shame. BuffoMoves would learn a few things from him.  |

I don't know if anyone has caught it, but look closely at his skates and where they meet the pavement...
Almost 100% of the time they land in the exact same spot.
It was absolutely amazing, great find ME |

Aye, unless he shifts his upper body, I suppose the wheels would HAVE to meet the ground in the exact right spot for balance. Like you say, amazing.

That I'd pay money to see.  What about it Merlyn, you got a good singing voice? |
