Splitting lanes on Las Vegas Blvd in traffic on an electric skateboard (not a scooter, not a bike, not a moped) while not wearing a helmet and trying to get some shaky shots with your camera in hand. What a cool vlog!

While we can only speculate on whatever health insurance Tim may or may not have, I can definitely say the above statement is 100% fact since he recorded the video himself. I’m sure the 10K views this video will have by the end of the week will totally be worth the risk he is taking.

Take away all of the risk he is taking with his own life, can you imagine one of the kids of these viewers who say their kids love the vlog trying to do this with their regular skateboards on a suburban street and getting hit by a car? While Trooper has very little money to his name, I wonder if people can sue him for something else? I’m sure they won’t mind trying considering they allow their kids to watch this vlog with them. (I wonder how many of them would let Trooper babysit their kids too while we are at it.)

While leaving clothes thrown all over the floor isn’t endangering anyone really, justifying such behavior as anything other than lazy is the same logic that Tim puts towards making decisions that lead to what we saw in his last video. While cool, he doesn’t have a safety team or anyone even holding the camera to call 911 when something bad happens. Maybe that’s why he rides on the strip? Maybe he figures there are so many people and cars that someone will call 911 when something very, very bad happens. With that reasoning, he should definitely only ride on the strip during peak hours! Good job Tim!

But totally ignore everything I just wrote because I am a hater and that means there is no logic in anything written above. There is definitely more logic in doing what Trooper is doing because he’s such an honest, smart, and cool guy.

He looks like he is showing off his boosted board. My favorite YouTube comment was from someone saying something like “We get it. You have a boosted board.”

It’s true a helmet won’t look good, but even with no helmet a 45 year old man is not going to look good on that thing.

It actually does look like fun though. Great weather, he is on the Strip, and he probably got a thrill out of it. He didn’t have to do nearly as much walking and could move around quicker (less walking exercise though).

A couple of days ago I was about to pull into the Harrahs parking garage and an old guy with long hair and a cap was on a Boosted Board and ate **** after going over a speed up.

He picked himself off the concrete like nothing happened and jumped back on his Boosted Board and continued on his journey.

I legitimately thought for a few seconds I was in a parallel universe where Trooper had grew out his hair for a few years and lost like 50 lbs.

Like I remember the Howard Stern show would donate 10k or something to a homeless man for lulz because they knew he'd blow it. Sure enough homeless dude buys an 8k drum set and keeps it in the alley where he sleeps, a 1k leather jacket, and blows the rest on hookers.
LOL omg I actually remember that episode! He won $10k playing 'homeless Jeopardy' or something. After winning, he went out and promptly bought a drum set, some fancy clothes, and a stay at a fancy hotel. Not sure if hookers were involved...

I've known Trooper was an idiot for a while but I didn't think he was capable of helping Westgate pull off shady stuff and then riding a boosted board through LV traffic. What a tool.

If trooper keeps riding his board in traffic i can see him getting seriously hurt. No helmet or anything.

oh cool, full circle back to the no helmet thing. that is the least of his concerns

I personally used to champion the Trooper if you look in the original thread. I really respected him for going out on a limb ant putting it out there for every one to see. I wouldnt do that. I was one of the dudes that offered him free coaching. But he did not accept.

I dont watch too much any more. But i do check in hoping that he gets it together and wish him the best.
Hey Squid I will take that training if it's still being offered?

that's gotta be illegal right?

Thankfully for him, he's not gonna get a chance to give himself brain damange bc he's probably gonna be threatened by the police if he tries that again.

oh, and then there's the fact that if all of that was ok, you still have to carry that massive thing around the casino? sure, it saves time - his only exercise time really - but lugging that thing around must be a pain in the ass.
Yes everything he did was illegal let's see him do that on Tropicana or Flamingo!

Trooper has nothing to worry about when it comes to riding his boosted board on the Strip PUBLIC ROADS and PATHS.

https://www.streetsaw.com/pages/las-...hoverboard-law

"The law in Las Vegas defines Segways as “electric personal assistive mobility devices,” and because of this encompasses much more than just Segways. Technically, this law created an umbrella which bans Segways, minisegways, hoverboards, self-balancing scooters, smart balance wheels, electric skateboards, electric bicycles, and much more.

Whoof!

The good news about the Las Vegas hoverboard law however (and this is not legal advice) is that we have yet to hear any stories of somebody being arrested for riding a hoverboard on the Las Vegas Strip."


It is clear that Trooper did serious research before riding his boosted board on the Strip roads and sidewalks.

His concern should be with the casinos not the cops...

"Oh yeah, and I should remind you that casinos have the full authority to kick you off of their premises, and they will do it every time too.

I’ve personally ridden my hoverboard through places like the Venetian Casino, the Las Vegas Convention Center, the LINQ, and various other places such as malls. Each and every private building has asked me to step off of my hoverboard or to leave.

If you think its legal to ride a hoverboard on the Las Vegas Strip, just beware of what we mentioned above. If security or a police officer asks you to get off of your hoverboard, we urge you to be respectful and listen."

There is some logic in there. The part that makes you a hater is that you are obsessed with Trooper and say the same things over and over and over again. Also, a lot of the stuff you say is ridiculous.... like Trooper should have danced in one of his videos, because he had the opportunity. Not to mention all the conjecture and fact-inventing you do.

Don't see how Trooper can be faulted for enjoying the boosted board. We all have our toys and saying one is more ridiculous than another seems rather subjective.

This is going to be great!

Troop has never confronted/insulted anyone with authority in the vlog and only tangentially drunks, homeless, janitors, and junkies.

Can't wait when someone has the audacity to suggest he behave like a responsible adult.

Just watched the video. That was insane. How he didn't get arrested, ticketed, Injured, etc I don't know. That has to be illegal and can't believe a cop didn't see him.

Also I live in Vegas and have news notifications on my phone from one of the TV news channels and it seems like every day or 2 I get a notice of a pedestrian, bicyclist or skateboarder getting hit by a car and sometimes even dying. And likely they were not doing anything near as dangerous as riding a boosted board down the strip in between cars in and out.

Also I love how he takes his 1st bite of a cut in half sandwhich from the middle. What is he 5 years old? lol

Get a ****ing life. How much time do you spend watching Trooper's VLOGS and analyzing every little detail? For someone you supposedly hate.

Believe it or not, riding the boosted board on the street on Frank Sinatra was even more dangerous than doing it on the Strip. Probably half the cars that go there just came off the freeway and are still on freeway mode - going 50 miles per hour in a street that has no bike lanes and lots of blind spots, and is very curvy. It is even dangerous for a car to turn right from Reno Ave. into Frank Sinatra because the drivers on Sinatra are still going very fast, and there are blind spots. I was shocked when Trooper did that. The sidewalks, on the other hand, are very clear because there are barely pedestrians.

Im no Psychologist but I fear our boy is trapped at some age. Maybe 15yo. Idk.

It would explain everything:

Laundry
Relationships
Clothing
Exaggerated Toughness
Diet
Lack of self awareness
Mocking service personnel
Immaturity

That’s a bit much. But generally, he does look like a hamster when he takes a bite, chews quickly, and stares directly into the camera.

Its a brand new toy. Totally understandable. But you can just tell he thinks it gives him some kind of stature.


If Trooper ever binks it big, like someone else said “imagine if Trooper ever gets chirping chips” he will be unbearable

Instead of losing another grand at poker last week he took a week off poker and used the money he would have lost to buy something he's wanted for a really long time. That was a smart decision. Hopefully his downswing will be over after this.

No one who has ever been to Vegas can believe that your hero doesn't have a death wish.

I am sure several people have called the cops on him for weaving down the street. Just a matter of time before something unpleasant occurs.

Let's hope he doesn't break the camera so the film can be used at the coroner's inquest.
Agree 100%.

There's a fine line between being a bada$s and being a dumba$s. Basically before you crack your head open you're a bada$s, after you crack your head open you're a dumba$s.

If Trooper gets hurt on camera maybe he thinks the video would be more likely to go viral and he will be on the local news, so maybe he thinks it's a win either way.

If he wants the video to go viral he should have put it out at a better time than during a big news weekend with the Syria missile strikes. EDC weekend might be a better time to try to make a Vegas video go viral.

He wants everyone in Vegas/the world to know his name. He's so desperate for attention now he's literally risking his life to get famous or die trying.
