A man who semi-streaked on the pitch at the Super Bowl shared a video showing his point of view of the incident.
When it comes to major sporting events, streakers are a regular occurrence, running around the pitch before they are inevitably caught by security, or one of the players in this case.
After all, when you're trying to out manoeuvre professional athletes who spend years of their lives training to be fast and nimble, that's only ending one way.
And that's exactly what happened when 25-year-old Alex Gonzalez took to the pitch shirtless at the Super Bowl.

Gonzalez leapt down onto the grass, and was able to dodge past security team members on the field and make it out into the middle of the pitch, before New England Patriots wide receiver Kyle Williams was able to catch him.
The 25-year-old went shirtless onto the pitch, though mercifully he was wearing trousers during the escapade, and has now posted a clip showing his point of view.
Things start off with him still in the stands, before he leaps down onto the grass.
After evading several security, it appears that he's able to make it out into the very middle of the pitch, with security staff seen in hot pursuit, shouting with delight as he makes it out.
Security are seen ahead of him, and he's able to evade them, appearing to be headed for the end of the pitch.
Then, things take a turn and the video momentarily pauses for comic effect as Williams barrels into view.
Moments later, the grass comes up to meet Gonzalez.
Some security staff are visible holding him down as he admits defeat, being heard saying repeatedly: "You guys got me, you guys got me, I'm right here, you guys got me."
While Gonzalez took to the grass, he also had some words written on his body.
These were three on his back and four on his front.
On his back, Gonzalez had the words 'Trade with Athena' and a social media tag '@fxalexg', while on his front were the words 'trade in the blindspot', advertising a trading platform.
In a social media post, he wrote: "One of my goals has always been to streak the Super Bowl. I did it now, and I'll do it again."
Following the stunt, Gonzalez was charged with a misdemeanour offence, per The Mirror, but doesn't seem to have any regrets.
