Isn't it true that some people flat out can't squat to the floor because of their bone structure?  I thought I read that in a Muscular Development (I think the one with Desmond Miller on the cover).  The absolute lowest I can go is that of a baseball catcher's stance.

Yeah, I can't go much past parallel, my ankles just dont bend enough. I put ten pound plates under my heels to go a lil lower, but still not as low as some. Unless i break my ankles somehow n make the tendon longer. :P

Got to say that that is pretty impressive given your weight and height.
Also - got to agree with you on the bare feet policy - I always found that squatting without shoes gave me alot more power up thru the heels and limited the amount of lateral movement that trainers tend to allow.
As far as those people who say the weights are fake -why would you bother (rhetorical).
Good lift - a little fast for me personally but then having said that I got injured badly doing them slow anyways so to each his own.
Inspirational stuff.

Thats alot of weight. I would suggest slowing your descent & spending more time in the bottom position. I assume you are a bodybuilder. You could develop even more muscular legs if you controlled & engaged the weight more, just like any other exercise.
You are powering thru these too fast. That being said, you made alot of weight look pretty easy. Good depth too.
