I'm thinking it's a great introductory video without getting too technical.
You can't really get into BF or minimalist running without paying attention to the biomechanics of it all. Those that are not interested in that aspect are probably those that will not stick at it long enough to make the change, but will find that something hurts sothey give up without trying to figure out why.
Have you ever seen the end of A Clockwork Orange where the protagonist is made to watch videos with his eyes held open? We should do that here!
And I agree, Mark has great form, looks really smooth while he's running, even at what for me would be a very fast pace. I was quite surprised how flat his foot appeared to be when landing though. The video may be disguising it, but he appeared to be landing almost flat, but with a degree of pronation, no obvious forefoot landing.
It's just very deceiving with videos, if there is a way to watch it in slow motion, you would actually see his heel land last, that is a sign of perfect form.
