- Welcome back to "What's Inside".
Today we're with our friend Shonduras,
and we're gonna cut open an awesome boosted board.
- Many of you probably know Shonduras.
We found him on Snapchat.
He goes on awesome adventures, draws funny pictures,
and then we just found out that we're neighbors.
- Crazy, right?
I watched their Youtube videos,
they watched my Snapchats,
and we never really made that connection until last week.
I was like, "Wait, I know where that is!"
And then, yeah, so we're neighbors.
- So we figured we might as well have an adventure together
and have some help with the boosted board on riding it.
He's a pro skateboarder.
We might damage it a little bit and break it
but I guess that's okay because--
- We're gonna cut it open.
- (laughs) Yeah, we're gonna cut it open anyway.
So does that sound fun, Lincoln?
- Yeah! Let's go and see if we can do some tricks.
(deep house music)
(motor whizzing)
Whoa.
- Woo! - Oh, that was awesome.
- [Dan] (laughs) Nice.
- One thing that we've found with these kids
is that they love just sitting on it
and then I control it,
and I can get 'em zooming forward and back.
They feel like they're at a ride
at an amusement park or something.
So, alright Lincoln.
Here you go, Buddy.
- Woo-hoo!
(high-pitched motor whirring)
- Daddy!
(deep house music)
- Now when we spin this
it gets stuck sometimes.
(high-pitched squealing)
- I don't think it's meant for skate parks.
- (laughs) Nope.
- I think the board is dead and we should give it a final,
you know, one final launch, and then let's--
- Okay, why don't you do the honors.
- Final launch, and then we'll cut this thing open, yeah?
- Yeah.
- Okay, here we go.
- Flip it over!
(scratchy motor whirring)
- [Shonduras] It's not stopping!
Look, I'm not touching it. (laughs)
That thing is, uh, it's done.
Crazy.
- There's going to be some interesting things
inside of this board, and so,
I think we should be kind of cautious and be careful.
I'm gonna take this screwdriver
and take some of the plates off first,
before we actually get into the big--
- Alright, let's get this thing open,
let's get this thing cut in half.
(saw buzzing)
- [Dan] (laughs) I don't know that I was ready for that,
but okay.
- Now check this out, man.
- Wow, that's the only wires?
- [Dan] Yeah, look at that.
There's four wires right there,
and it makes sense,
if you look at the bottom.
Here's where it charges, there's the power button,
and I was wondering how that would work
because here's the motor and everything on this side.
- [Lincoln] That's cool.
- [Shonduras] Also kind of an interesting fact,
you'll notice that it's made out of bamboo.
As you saw earlier,
it's super flexy, you can jump on it,
it bounces all the way to the ground.
Most skateboards are laid horizontally.
This one's laid vertically,
and it has different bamboos going this way,
so it's tiled going this way,
so that it really has that flex and it won't snap
like a skateboard will break.
- [Lincoln] Wow.
- [Shonduras] Oh, there's holes in it.
Wow, okay.
- [Dan] Let's check this one out.
- [Lincoln] Same thing?
- [Dan] Same thing.
- [Shonduras] Alright.
- [Dan] All of you online that were thinking,
"Hopefully they can put it back together afterward."
Thanks to Shonduras,
(laughs) I don't think that's happening anymore.
But that's alright.
We learned something today already
and we haven't even gotten into the motor
or the battery yet.
- How many AA batteries do you think are in there?
- None.
(laughs)
- So we took all the screws off,
here they are,
there were three little plates on it.
- [Shonduras] Pull it.
- [Dan] Oh, look at that.
- [Shonduras] Oh yeah, it just pulls right through. (laughs)
- [Dan] Alright, there's your batteries.
- [Shonduras] Alright, let's go ahead
and fix this real quick.
We just tie these back together. (laughs)
- Finally got all these screws off
of this lithium ion battery.
Now, let's see if we can get in there.
(R&B music)
- Oh, whoa.
- Wow, that's an intense battery.
Whoa, it's packs of batteries.
- [Dan] Look at that.
- [Lincoln] Not AA's.
- [Dan] Okay, we are pretty much in there,
and the funny thing is,
it's still on--
- [Shonduras] It's still on!
That's right! I didn't think about that.
If you ever decide to do this,
do not leave it on. (laughs)
It's stuck on, we have no option.
- It won't turn off.
- [Lincoln] You're so handy with tools, Dad.
- [Dan] I'm so good at it.
- [Shonduras] Oh, man.
- [Dan] Oh, yeah.
- [Shonduras] I was tellin' them,
they need, like, a "What's Inside" tool belt,
where it just has all these drills and, like,
whatever they got.
I don't even know what this is.
- I don't even know
what that is either. - A dangerous tool.
- [Dan] Look at the big wires.
It has two, a black one and a red one right there,
that go into the circuit board.
So all these batteries have to feed into it.
We need to see what this box is for.
I doubt it's another battery, but who knows.
And let's see if this comes--
- [Lincoln] Whoa.
- [Shonduras] AA batteries, told ya.
- [Lincoln] No!
(laughs)
- [Shonduras] So this processes, feeds into there,
feeds into the motors, tells the motors to go.
Oh it's the band, okay.
Take that off.
- [Dan] So earlier, that noise we heard at the skate park,
was because this band somehow got off track,
and it was not fully gripping the wheel.
Look at this.
It just exploded at the end.
- [Lincoln] Whoa.
- [Shonduras] So that's the encasing?
Wow, it's still hot.
- [Dan] There's the motor, that goes around.
Let's take this--
- [Lincoln] What? - [Shonduras] It's tiny.
- A couple of different long boards that we could get.
Some of them have the dual motor,
some of them have a single motor.
I'm glad that we got the two motors on here,
because we actually broke one while we were riding--
- That was my fault, but it was fun breaking it, right?
- Yeah.
- You're just not supposed to spin on these
and land backwards and it breaks the motor,
but that's okay.
- Yeah, I guess not.
So, one thing that you guys have asked for a lot
is to show "behind the scenes"
and so we're going to do that on this video.
But it's not gonna be here.
It's gonna be on Shonduras' Youtube channel.
- I filmed the whole "behind the scenes",
it was crazy.
He fell, got a crazy bruise.
Dan rode the longboard around in the skate park.
I did some more tricks.
It was a lot of fun,
and, what's happening on the "behind the scenes"?
- We are gonna give away a free boosted board.
- Yep.
- We're gonna give away one of these for free.
Where do they click?
On my head,
to go see the "behind the scenes".
- So click here,
go see all the funny "behind the scenes".
There was a lot that went into all this,
and it turned out awesome,
and then, if you can't click this,
if you're on your cellphone,
just click the link in the description,
and that will take you there,
and I hope you win a longboard.
- Thanks for much for watching, guys.
