That was shredding!
Undisappointed!
That just tuned me up, loosely…thank you!
Undisappointed indeed!
I think it’s now tied for my favorite Thomas-themed Youtube video with this:
Was it? My video kept buffering. I’d rail about it but there’s no points.
Anyone else get the idea that there might be magnets under the sheets?
Not to discount the achievement here - just thinking that’d be an ingenious way to make sure the tricks land.
Don’t stoke people’s fears.
I think the course is on a steep slope that the camera angle is masking, and that it has been shot in high speed so that it can be slowed down to appear to be rolling on a flatter track. After that I’m guessing lots and lots of takes. Really beautifully done.
I’m going to start flagging comments if the discussion goes any further off track.
Feeling a bit tender?
Ahh I didn’t even think about slowing down the video - now that you mention it, it’s clear that’s happening as well.
Nice, but maybe you haven’t seen this little gem yet? NSFW
Nah - he’s just a bit steamed up about it. Whereas, I’m chuffed.
I think I can see where this is going.
I’m very glad all the fans in my family are grown up now - a video like this would’ve caused a lot of pleading to make their toys do the same thing!
Please don’t take that line. That’s no way to conduct yourself.
That’s enough derailing for one day.
