A stride similar to flipper guy may have been necessary to keep the "Patty's" feet from slipping around in the footies and tripping up the guy inside. Frankly, the biggest problems I've always had with P-G are the rear end (which looks totally fake to me), what appears to be a seam or zipper in the back, and the resemblance of the foot soles to a kid's footie pajamas.
Many of the believers talk about how they can see a hernia. I always thought it looked like somebody that had bunched clothing on under the costume. I also did not like the white foot soles. While the bottom of the feet of some primates are light colored; supposedly this creature lives in a harsher climate and I would think they would be darker in color. Some gorillas do have light colored soles; but many of their feet can also be much darker in color.

Somesay that is not a hernia; but a gunshot striking.

It can't be a gun shot striking. A gunshot shoots scattered, not in one small spot especially at a distance.

It's quite normal for primates to have light colored palms and soles, people included. If this creature (if it is one) is closely related to humans, it's more likely to have light colored soles.

There are different kinds of guns. Shotguns shoot scattershot (lose pellets that can vary in size depending on what the hunter is hunting). Rifles shoot single bullets and some can break up when they hit their target and some will not and can pass straight through. It all depends on the speed of the bullet plus its design and materials used. Generally shotguns are used for close range and are not effective over about 100 yards. However, some rifles can hit targets as far away as over a mile and their projectiles do not scatter.

Your statement sounds like somebody that is not familiar with guns.

IDK about that theory of them killing the Patty Bigfoot...if they had, dont you think they would have taken much closer and more clear video footage of the dead body (before they skinned it)?

If you do an image search for gorilla feet some are lighter colored and some are not. That Patterson film shows almost a white foot on the BF. I just don't feel that is likely. Of course there could be other considerations like if the sun was striking its foot when raised.

If you look closely at the foot, you can see a dermal ridge, that is interesting because it was only recently that someone had discovered all Bigfoot print casts showed they all have this dermal ridge on their feet. Patterson and Gimlin would not have known this back in their day, (they couldnt have actually).

I am confusing gunshot with shotgun. I must be losing it.

Or you see a flat leather or latex sole on a suit flexing as the person inside walks. The problem I have with claims like this is, there's only so much data in the pixels of a film taken at that distance and it seems to me believers in the film are straining to mine a few seconds of blurry film for information that may or may not be there in fact.
