Sometime in the distant past I got puntered for slagging the Welsh bum shuffles. Thought Lancashire was a safe bet in lieu. TBF, there are some good ones. Can we have a top 5 UK bum shuffles?

1. Fear of a slopey planet
2. Green traverse
3. Anesthesia (presumed)
4. Slopey traverse (Lynmouth)
5. Something at Whitehouses

Please....some of those are positively highball.

Back Street Mime Artist is as fine an ultralowball shuffle as you're likely to find in these isles.
Pushing the shuffle limits. Clarification required. Bum shuffles must have a substantial component of their difficulty tied up in keeping arse/legs from floor; some sideways action; preferably with lips and high heels. Sounds a bit rude now I read it back. First time (as a noob) I saw someone on FOASP I burst out laughing. When I got round to doing it I really enjoyed it.

Back on topic, the Torridon one is great, thanks for posting. Book / cover etc.

Have you seen BSMA? Because you've basically just described it.

Back off topic....  Oooh! My problem made it onto someone's best of list (Slopey Traverse).  TBF it might not meet the criteria at times but the pebble height can vary by meters so at times it can take bum dragging to new extremes.
Always used to enjoy the long slopey affair just under Jerry's Traverse at Cratcliffe. 
There's a venue in Font that comprises almost entirely of bum drags, (can't remember name?), should you like that sort of thing, although why on earth you would choose to whilst in Font is beyond me... (Top international arse scrapes anyone?).

Not that I've spent much time on either, but I suspect The Mission would be a much more likely prospect for me than Malc's, need to get back to some form and have a go later in the year.

See you there Chris! It's great having two problems of such contrasting styles right next to each other.  I only opened an account on The Mission last year, so I'm predicting eventual success in 2022 if the Malc's siege is anything to go by.

That was ace! I've had some nemesis problems over the years, but I usually just give up. This gave me psyche to go and do battle with some of them again.

Loved Toru's video Robin. One of those videos where you can feel your tendons recruiting involuntarily in anticipation of the send.

None of the usual music recognition apps know what it is.
Suspect it was composed for the feature.

Great video, really captures the feelings with projecting. The final words give pause for thought too.

The future - boulder/highball/trad combination.
The slap to ledge/break looks scary.
Inspirational come back from injury.

Funny I though that move looked completely hammed up.
