I really enjoy watching whatever you do in slo-mo. My son got me hooked on these. :) We are both subbed.

" We would need like a million frames to see that" 4 years later and that would become a possibility. You guys better come back and revisit this with the new 7510 :D

I love how Gavin's hard hat has tape on it, almost like it got damaged and they just taped it back together

04:01 -- "I know what you're thinking. You should be ashamed of yourself." I wasn't thinking of anything until I read that sub. Now, my mind's dirty. How dare you, mate! Lol
