I was hoping my first post wouldn't be such a stupid question, but there we go.

Just seen this on youtube, wondering if there is any actual personal gain in doing so?

The only good reasons I could think of would be to practice high-speed stability, or just for kicks.

Anyone got any ideas?

Pros do lots of things that aren't particularly smart.
