Certainly hard to imagine being uber-bright-eyed and chipper like this, but I think its real.
I had seen this video a year or so ago. There was also another, now gone, which showed him doing some some sick kung-fu leaps from the stairway. Maybe he pulled the video after deciding THAT was a bit over the top.
'...Knee-spins, hmmmm... Yah. ok.
.....Leaping from the stairway landing? mmm...nah. Too outlandish. I don't want to appear reckless."

The dude's a total nerd...star trek, star wars wierdo....He's got a lot of energy, but nothing more than someone who's healthy....I thought it was all a stunt....
'cmon, If I catch any douche rolling on the floor to install base board I'll kick him square in the nuts!! And and harder than the Home Run I kicked in gym class 20 years ago!

The guy is a goof ball, he is just trying to be different with his video, if you really think the guy really installs on flooring like that, I have a good deal on some bridges for you.
BTW if some dumba$$ working on one of my jobs rolls around the floor like that guy, his sorry butt will be shown the door very quick.

I'd bet he would probably mop the floor with you if you tried.

So some guy that rolls around the floor like a moron is a tough guy?
Some of the meanest fights I have seen were on a jobsite and not by some pansy chuck norris wannabe flooring installer.

No doubt...seriously, if a flooring installer was rolling all over the place, I'd run...Hopefully, I'd atleast get in a good ball bust first!!
Funny, the guy didn't even take himself seriously enough to let anyone see his face.

Thats right. If he thinks he can just enjoy his job and not get bludgeoned with a framing hammer, well, he better think twice!

The saw seems to pulverize the core of laminates much more than you get cutting wood planks. Unless there is a stiff breeze where you are cutting, the cloud of atomized dust particles seems especially insidious when one stops to consider it. Sure, no dust is good dust. Laminate dust just seems to linger longer.
I like to use a mask, but I am not as vigilant as I should be.

He actually reminds me, of me 10-15 years ago.
I installed carpet, just to stay in shape for stand-up Jetski racing.
