02:53This is his 3rd attempt.
02:54This is going to be difficult.
02:55Since he is so tall, it might be very difficult for him to ride on these tires.
03:00He is going slowly, slowly.
03:02He is checking the strength of the surface of the tires.
03:05He is moving forward step by step.
03:07I thought he was going to fall, but he hit his toe.
