Not bad. I did however notice some issues with the shifting but I imagine that it had more to do with the surface and less with your skill. It's hard to shift the stance on the blacktop especially if your shoes have grippy soles.

Cool. Thanks for sharing this. It looks a lot like the exercise we call pun yihk. One difference in style is that our school teaches the paau cheui with the arm straight in order to loosen the shoulder girdle more. Definitely close to the style of movement in our branch, though.
