  1. Very informative video.

    But all of the bloopers throughout were frustrating. They broke the flow of the info and made it much harder to digest.

    Bloopers are probably funnier for the people involved in the filming process than viewers. Would recommend leaving them for the start and end.

  2. I run steep mountain hills in a pair of 12.00 Temu shoes and they do just fine. They have a rugged tread pattern that keeps me planted both up and down hills. Simply facts.
