*Sigh* heres a video of it. Basically it doesnt stick to the bed (yes its heated same with extruder) and then on the next layer it doesnt go up so it kinda scraps the bottom off the bed.

Looks like you are printing too high off the bed also if you slow down the first layer it will help it to stick even when the Z height is not perfect.
