By the way, looks fun, but I highly doubt that he is a Russian.

Yeah, I caught that myself after listening to him for about five
minutes/vids. He's good enough that most people wouldn't hear it,
though.

Where is he getting/shooting all that good stuff, though?


Yes, I would expect someone with such a thick accent, to not be able
to speak so idiomatically, and to make a lot more grammatical
mistakes.

Odd..I know quite a number of "russians" who speak english quite clearly
and use all sorts of Western (American) slang. They tend to be between
the ages of 19-35 and have been living in the West for at least 10 yrs.

When I say "russians", some are from Moskva, some from the Ukraine and
so forth.

Kids tend to pick up the language (and its intracacies) rather quickly
yet still retain the basic accent for quite a long time.

As anyone from New York City will notice when listening to a Texan, or a
Northern Michigander and so on and so forth.

Yall have a good day, eh?!
