TLDW: skipped through until 25:47: the rail doesnt lengthen it just extends to the tops and sides.

This could have been a 5 minute video. All that “Whooa”-Shots and leadup was not needed but is the American way of storytelling: Very talkative and getting amazed by every detail.

Or a cowboy to use the cowboy shot.

Using a method named after a place or something does not mean being from that place etc
