Because he wanted to prove them wrong for reputations sake and failed again.. and again.. and.... again

Right that. Advertisement for himself - that failed. He maybe waited to be discovered by Hollywood.

I also think I recognise the voice of the female commentator, btw. I heared her often on CNN, on reports from the entertainment and sports section. That also speaks against a private fake-for-fun. Hiring a profiled voice known in the media usually means needing to pay good money for it.

You really need a good holding team.

Now the scene where he fails when the boards are on the cinder blocks is another story.... Form, Focus, and Flow Learn these words grasshopper.
