This is the video for Rjd2's "Work It Out" from 'The Third Hand' (XL Recordings). The vid features Bill Shannon who was born with a degenerative hip condition. His legs cannot carry his own weight and so he has lived a life on crutches. He has developed a new way of moving through life on his skateboard and the crutches. Though this may look like a recreational hobby or a debilitation, it is simply how Bill maneuvers throughout the day. In time to Rjd2's song "Work It Out" we follow Bill as he makes his way around. At the slow start, Bill is descending the courthouse steps in downtown Brooklyn. It's difficult, but he makes it down and the rest you'll just have to watch to understand. Rjd2 plays several extras which you can try to spot as well. The video, directed by Joey Garfield, is one continuous single shot for the length of the song.

@1: It's cool because it's an interesting way to make light of a situation where you can't support your own weight on your own legs (see 8). It's an amazing Choreography. If you didn't appreciate this old video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pv5zWaTEVkI) Aside from looking awesome, it just looks fun, and that's what counts.
@2: at 1:16, the man on crutches steals the skateboard, and at 2:10, the man who lost the skateboard trips him, and the man on crutches moves into an awkward position against the lamppost.

Well, I have to say, this guy has made the most of a disability that would have devestated a lot of people. I'll rate this video up just for the steady Camera work. That's got to be appreciated.
