Steve Barley is a dad, Englishman, and clearly a mad genius. Since 2010, he’s been designing obstacle courses for the squirrels in his garden to navigate. His latest creation, inspired by Formula 1 racing, is truly a site to behold. The cleverness of his design, his wonderful commentary, and use of multiple camera angles really make this the epitome of wholesome, enjoyable entertainment. As he so eloquently puts it, “My only rule is…it ain’t worth posting unless it raises a smile!”
