This guy's video is a little better, and does show the end results well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pD2uCEzBXHc

Kind of what I expected. They make it look easy, but everything on YT looks easy.
I noticed he stopped at the bends and then started from the bar ends, again stopping before the hoods. Did you try that or try to Diamond it all the way (which before watching is what I would have done and THAt part has to be crazy. I have enough trouble going around hoods as it is)?
Your question presumes I made it as far as the hoods before giving up.
