Wait - you mean dragging your head on the ground isn't good form?

He was dragging his head on the ground - does his suit really make a difference?

As an organizer show-boating for cameras makes me twitch - if just because it is usually followed by sky-ground-sky-ground-sky-ground action.

one track org here had banned cameras for th elongest time, then had an organization film you if you paid for it. That lead to a lot of crashes and near misses, then they jus tlet everyone use cameras. I guess the novelty has worn off for most so it doesnt seem as bad.

I am not opposed when it is used in a educational fashion, when someone is following and recording simply to later review to show what you are or are not doing. But, when it is used during an event simply to show off fuuuuuuuuu that.

agreed, it can be used as a good tool to see what one is doing right or wrong, but others will use it just to show off then its a problem
