I think I played him a few years ago. Of course, I'd had quite a few drinks so relative to me, anyone that could hold a stick in their hand might as well have been him.

I once saw Eddie Charlton do tricks like that, but this guy is even better. In my younger days of a misspent youth, I used to be able to curve the ball, but not this good. I wish

OK ... that's awesome. Skill and dedication I could never have matched. Still I wonder how many shots there are of the tricks not quite working?? I mean, no one could get them right first time. (BTW the sound-track is unbearable. It lasted <1min.)

Yeah, David, horrible soundtrack. Darude - Sandstorm. :/

Great video, though.

Totally amazing.

If I could play like that I'd be retired with a 30" scope by now.
