1. His kinesthetic intelligence is phenomenonal!
I know it had to have taken some time to learn all those skills and his balance while doing those tricks -- ! :wow: I'd never heard of him before, so thanks for the video link.

2. I can stand on my skate and pop it up and land on edge.
I can't imagine doing it while moving. It hurts like crazy if you mess up. The guy is a machine. Or it took 30 days to shoot the video. He is amazing.

3. You have have my respect.
The few times I have ever attempted to skateboard I felt like I was about to break my neck -- and I wasn't even doing anything! ;) In-line skating and regular skating is about the only thing I do with small wheels.... But, I can't imagine trying to do the stuff he does either especially while the board is in motion.
