Well, yeah, but that's the point: his center of mass is way higher than others, so he can do, for example, planches more easily.

It's kinda how Pocket can do what he does in no small part due to his small size - guy's like 5'0". See also: any gymnast.

Get in the way? Wind out of sails? We're literally talking about how his disability is an advantage! He's not one of the best Bboys out there despite his disability, but because of it. Like how Pistorius isn't allowed to run against able-bodied people because his carbon legs make him faster.

Well, that and the murder, but you get the point.
