soon to be an exhibition sport in the next olympics?

I love the Visa Debit commercial with the guy tossing the pizza dough.  But what's his story?  Turns out the dude is on the United States Pizza Team (and the commercial is behind the link, in case you haven't seen it, plus there's more of him on YouTube).  They'll make a team out of anything these days, it seems... but watching him work is pretty damn cool.

But how does it taste?

I watched a pizza pie tossing competition once (thank you, Food Network, for broadening my horizons) and wondered the same thing. That's got to be the nastiest hard, chewy pizza ever after that much stretching.

I vaguely recall somebody saying they use different doughs for competitive tossing than for the pizzas they cook and serve, but can't vouch for that.
