To this day I watch that video of him doing the tower and marvel at how smoothly it takes place, with ZERO references close at hand. If he or one of his compatriots reads this, perhaps they can suggest that he checks in here and describes how on earth he accomplished it.
It is impressive - I wonder if the precision work was done from the front or the rear facing stick controller?
