I saw this on Pinkbike the other day. I'll say the same thing I said there.

This is awesome! I can not do flairs. I don't want to, but none the less can not.
As cool as this is, the trick was over by the second hop.

maybe it was, but it was still pretty special, and he has only just started riding

No man, this was totally bad ass!
It's just an old saying we've had since the 80's.
That's when balance hops were the shit.
It was just an informal rule.

If you shake it more than twice, you just may be playing with yourself!

I'm not impressed at all. Kds these days would rather learn filps, whips, flares in flyout form before learning how to bunnyhop. This seems to be true if he hasn't been riding that long. Besides, footjams are super simple from a tailtap. And when you flare to flyout you automatically keep spinning. When you break it down its not that impressive.
