I salute the dude. I would say "cut him some serious slack". Although I also laughed my a$$ off, I very much salute his efforts and enthusiasm. Did you notice how the guys on the boards were at first amused, then very encouraging? The guy was very innovative and resouceful. With an HO block, he might have pulled it off.

I agree with Jim 100%, not only did it take guts to try, it took serious stones to take pictures and post them...
My hats off to the dude!
