I just tried this for the first time this morning. I
love it! Great name, too. I'm going to try it for
another week and if I'm still alive (it's tough! but
in a good way) post a page with video. As inventor of
this move, feel free to send pictures/video. I'll
certainly give you credit.

Thanks also for the "go slow" tip. I think fast could
be dangerous with this one (for self and for ceiling).
