When he sprayed the ehter that long I knew it was not going to be pretty...

It only takes a very small squirt..  Very small to seat a bead then top off with air.

That is epic .... He said in the video it ruined the rim, I bet it ruined the bead on the tire too ... there's some cash down the drain.

I have never been a fan of that method; have only used it once (in an ATV, out of necessity; if I were in a garage, I would use other methods, like the strap around the tire or something!), and used VERY little fuel...

looks to me like he sprayed into the valve and try to light it up thru there, i've seen it done where you spray on the side of the rim where the bead is to be set and light it up on the same side, better chance to light up and not needing that much fluid

I mount my own tires all the time, and I have only every tried this method once and it is harder than most videos make it look.

Realistically even on the trail there are far better ways of getting the bead to seat. This method is just a show off thing (which is why people record it). In real life it's just dangerous for no good reason.
