Stuff your feet were your knees would go, put your knees on seat and hold on the bar as counter weight. Or...use one of those adjustable inclined ab benches. You can use one of the wooden stick used for twists for extra support. This is really hard. I can only do like one or two with the help of the stick. Neither exactly mimic GHR, but they are pretty close.

People don't reach thier true potental, only those who seek it.

Start with having your feet under something about half the height of the ball and work up from there. -------------- Iron and chalk.

At the part where he is doing them on a swiss ball, you can bring the swiss ball forward (above your knees) and your feet down (closer to the ground) to make them easier. -------------- Iron and chalk.
