    Cool video, heck yea would be fun. Did anyone else notice that the guy who won it kept sticking his leg out to catch himself in case he fell. Good way to jam your leg into your hip. He needs to do some counter balancing instead. The guy on the bagger was doing a good job holding his own for a long time and thought for a while that he might win it.
