   I'm amazed at how much skill those guys have, in addition to strength - some   
   of their *stunts*, if attempted by someone without their abilities, could   
   easily kill.

   The size of the venue determines what can, and cannot be done.

   To me it's all a matter of the kind of Motives - Pure, or IMpure!   
      
   Pure motives are about focus on the Music and IMpure motives are about focus   
   on something other than the Music.
