great music, i am echoing the comments on his knees "magic" knees give out and I was amazed how many times he wasn't rolling that he really could have. otherwise some very impressive stuff and some really good flow. I would love to find a long ledge like the one they were running along to practice speed and balance

The video as such is allright (this impressed me way more... or any from Ilabaca, Chase, Blane, etc...)
1:21 and 1:28 (same) are near-misses,
2:41 is a VERY BAD near-miss...
I'm surprised he would even show those.
This guy can sure take drops... his leg-power/weight ratio must be extremely favourable (he must be tiny, that would explain how he can hold on even if he near-misses...).
BUT, he goes almost touching his heels with his butt on every single landing (including the -few- ones when he rolls), even from 6' drops...
So, no offense, but he's not a typical traceur and his technique doesn't seem to be very "reasoned" (thought-over?), instead it seems instintual, "gutsy"...
Even when they practice in the group... thinking about seeing them live, I would never get a feeling I'd want to join something like that...
While probably great for him: "dudes, don't do this at home!"
