There just ain't a way to do it.

Great story, beb.
The kid probably did it differently in the game. I've seen this kind of thing where a kid looks flawless in practice, and in warm-ups, but doesn't do it right during a game. It's possible the travel came before the actual move, so that it didn't flow the same as in the demo before the game. Even a very very good player can have a sudden brain fart and the "natural", automatic correct move disappears with the methane. Was there ever a time in that game where he did that move, and it wasn't called? Just curious.
