You know how I know he has an amazing take-off? I think that's nothing but grass; no hole, no towel, just grass :heart:

i think he rotated just a little bit too far on way down...

but you gotta have some ups to do that on grass... He pretty much had to jump as high as the hand grip to keep it from slipping on the grass, and the bend was pretty much his weight on the poll. And since he is gripping probably over 11 foot that is really impressive for a guy that is only like 5'7. Wonder if he could dunk?
