anybody else agree with me if i say, WHAT A HEADCASE?!?!?!?

my opinion is this: if your working hard enough ( as he is) and applying the correct training ( which he is ) shouldnt the jumps come together? Yes there are those mental blocks that we all know and love. But a pair of spikes...... are these spikes just that good that they will make you jump 19' in them? sounds a lil far fetched for me.....( but i guess " if the shoe fits" literally hahahaha, what a great pun....!! :P

what does everyone else think?
