I wonder if this should go in the Rock & Roll channel?

they displaced all those salamanders and grubs from their natural habitats just to film that? Not to mention all the tires that were displaced from their natural habitats. I'm going to have to flag this one as

Wow, that was a nice dismount by the c'piller at the end there. I wonder how long he's been practicing that.

Upvoted, but not really a wheel.

Wheel: a simple machine consisting of a circular frame with spokes (or a solid disc) that can rotate on a shaft or axle
