 The POV really doesn't give an accurate idea of the toughness of the track. When I saw that I was thinking to myself "I could totally do that" Then I quickly realise that Hell no i couldn't do that. I don't have the skills. That's why they are the pros and I'm a Joe.

 its called that because he was up by like 5 seconds a few years ago and he got too loose and fell and lost the win.
