    He is like an engineer !!!! Impressive !!!! Kinda like a pioneer of inventions for skateboards !!!!

  20. Random Bogey

    July 26, 2023 at 6:56 pm

    5:52 Honestly, 20%-25% success rate for virtually zero planning and very little R&D is pretty good. If a rocket company was just eye-balling parts onto a rocket engine with no plans or modeling and 1:5 of those rockets even went half straight into the air, it’d be impressive.

  21. Luis Catrofe

    July 26, 2023 at 7:18 pm

    These are probably one of the most useless inventions I’ve seen, and at the same time, probably one of the most impressive.
    Imagine what this man would be able to do with a real workshop and professional tools

    I LOVE Matt Tomasello ,fancy lad and wired, so this is a crossover I wasn’t expecting but I am very grateful for. For the racord Fancy Lad is his skate team and they release videos full of shennaigans like this. Just hilarious wacky skating and good vibes, even non-skaters almost unanimously love it in my experience.
