TL;DR
  • iShowSpeed successfully jumped over two supercars during a live stream.
  • The stunt involved a Lamborghini and a McLaren speeding at 45 mph.
  • The event has sparked debate about the responsibility of content creators and potential copycats.

In a jaw-dropping display of either incredible bravery or sheer madness, iShowSpeed has once again pushed the boundaries of online entertainment. During his latest live broadcast, the 19-year-old content creator cleared two driving supercars in the middle of a public road.

The daring stunt saw Speed leap over a Lamborghini and a McLaren in quick succession, with the luxury vehicles zooming past at speeds between 40 and 45 mph. Speed added to the excitement by performing the jumps in Yeezy foam runners, because who doesn’t love a bit of streetwear with their risk-taking?

Streaming fans are not sure whether to celebrate the stunt or to condemn the streamer. One viewer summed it up perfectly: “That’s incredibly stupid and impressive.” However, there is a definite risk for potential copycat behavior, since Speed’s viewer base mainly comprises young and easily influenced viewers.

To his credit, Speed didn’t just wing it. He contacted the Florida Highway Patrol and had the street legally closed for the stunt. That shows at least some level of preparation and surprised some of his critics—as opposed to the streamer’s recent appearance in Oslo, causing a turmoil during an IRL stream.

For those unfamiliar with the streaming sensation, Darren Watkins Jr., better known as iShowSpeed, has built a reputation on pushing boundaries and engaging in extreme activities. This latest stunt is just another notch in his belt of controversial content that keeps his audience coming back for more.

With a large, young fanbase, streamers like Speed walk a tightrope between entertainment and responsibility. iShowSpeed has once again proven he’s willing to go to extreme lengths to keep his audience on the edge of their seats. Whether that’s a good thing, that’s a jump we’ll leave for you to make.
