[Well, even with his crutch he's definitely turning his choker on so he can start out on a not-terrible foot. At least with it on he can keep doing the soundwave reflection thing as he does his best to follow Leo, switching it off whenever he stops to try and conserve the battery power.
Of course, he does a piss poor job regardless because he has no actual technique - he isn't thinking about balance or center of gravity outside of not toppling over when his choker is off, his stance is sloppy, at best he's keeping his crutch close to himself the entire time so it isn't quite as obvious. He's mostly trying to mimic Leo, but mimicry can only take you so far.
At least he's taking this seriously, not wanting this to be a huge waste of anyone's time. This just requires an awareness of his body that he's never had to bother with before. He always focused on his brain, doing the calculations to prevent injuries to himself when pushing his body, but never actually focusing on his actual body. He's found a brand new reason why not having his constant, automatic reflection is a pain in the ass.

Donnie is going to have a whole lot to critique.]
