- You'll have to sell your speeder.
Hell No!

[Rudster]

Look at that guy who just glances at the speeder like he sees them all the time 😂

[martincraw]

Awesome. I'd sure love to have a landspeeder of my own. I just need the right parts and right tools for it.

[PhazonX]

Kevin's hair is out of this world.

[JayCeeSquared]

OMGOSH, this reminds me of the hover vehicle in the Insomniac Museum from Ratchet and Clank 2

[mitrooper]

What kind of creepy looking creature is this?!?!?! 2:08

[aeolus]

What’s with the “Flock of Seagulls” hairstyle?

Star Wars speeders from Star Wars (1977), Empire Strikes Back (1980) and Return of the Jedi (1983).

[Audastrian]

No gloves? You seem to love the dangerous life, dude :D.

[jamesstorey]

Who doesn't want a speeder bike 😊

[Commander_Shepard.]

What's that intro music and is there a longer version of that?

[elmito]

Please...show us how you made the Cardboard

I had to stop and regather myself after seeing that hair. His voice just faded out and the song “I Ran (so far away)” started playing in my mind spontaneously. Once I got over my 80s flashback I was able to pay attention once more. Wow.

2:10 someone’s having a mid-life crisis

[SkunkHollowRoseGardens]

2:20 why did they have to make a point to ZOOM IN on that awful whatever that thing is, old man/women in a breakdown crisis or something?

[foggyvhs]

I thought of the idea of a maglev train as a kid and it feels to braggy to even mention

[myundeaddragons]

Anyone else going to try to make a cardboard speeder?

[ryangunwitch-black]

These things are always too disappointing. Never quite there... lol Seriously, though... That's pretty cool.

[skulphire]

The only question that remains for me after watching this video is how this IBM Guy's Hair works.
