- Here we are, in Australia with our friends
from How Ridiculous, and we're gonna do
some awesome dart trick shots and then
cut open a dart board and see what's inside of it.
Right here is a giant dart board made out of wood.
We have a smaller dart board
that we'll actually cut open,
but let's get this party started.
(all yelling)
(dramatic music)
(thud)
- [Boy] Dad!
You are crazy!
- Nobody got injured on that move.
- [Boy] Dad, really?
(laughs)
- Throw the dart and try and hit that balloon
and pop that balloon.
(grunts)
(thud)
(cheers)
- [Man] Bullseye!
(cheers)
How many did you throw?
Other than the one that went
and almost killed a bird in the tree?
There's one out there, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
So one out of ten in the bullseye.
How's that?
- That's impressive.
- Okay, we have 16 dart--
If I throw it at the board,
the question is, will I get a bullseye with any of them?
(thud)
Oh!
Got one!
- [Boy] Got bullseyes!
(cheers)
- We have a slow-motion camera,
we've got a balloon, we've got a dart--
- [Voiceover] Dan's got the big smile.
- Let me get out first, okay?
(calm music)
(pop)
(calm music)
(splash)
- That's cold.
So here's the dart board.
This is about, I would say, two inches,
maybe five centimeters, wide.
Knock on it, it's not hollow.
So I'm curious to see what's inside of this thing
and how it works.
Over time, the holes kind of go away.
The way that they make it
and the way that it's formed,
it just kind of squishes back together.
The more darts you play, it just kind of
moves the spots over.
Let's make this happen, let's cut this thing in half.
(buzzing)
(upbeat music)
Look how small the blade is, already.
It's just eating away the metal cutout blade.
I kind of missed the bullseye, actually.
(laughs)
- [Boy] Dad.
- I thought I was getting it with all those sparks,
but I'm not.
Oh, this material is interesting.
The blade died.
We are in Australia, and the blade
that I had to replace it I think is made
for a different angle grinder.
So, yeah.
You do what you can do, so now we've got
this giant saw, that's like, a thousand years old.
(upbeat music)
Dang, that is much smoother than I thought
it would be, that was awesome!
Okay, we just need to turn it around
and we're probably gonna have to flip it, too.
(grinding sound)
(cheers)
(upbeat music)
(laughs)
See that?
Right as I put my hand by it,
all of a sudden that metal thing just exploded.
Nicked my thumb.
What's inside of a dart board?
You ready for this?
Check it out.
It looks like horse hair.
- [Boy] It does.
- [Man] Look at this.
That is odd, right?
- [Boy] That's weird!
- The pronunciation might not be right,
but I think these are sisal fibers.
And all the high quality dart boards
are made out of them.
It's actually a plant.
So that, they--
- It's a plant?!
- Yes, so they harvest this, so they get it
from a (stammers) sisal plant.
- None of it is colored at all.
It's not like they take different compartments like,
here's the light color, here's the black color.
Let's put it all together in a board.
No, they just get these fibers,
put 'em all together and then just paint it
the colors they need for the bullseye
and for everything else.
- [Man2] Look it, we took off all the metal off
of this half--
(rip)
Woah! Look at that!
- [Boy] If you feel it, it's, it feels like tape.
- [Man2] It is tape.
- Oh.
That is cool.
- [Man] That is interesting.
- You can pull it apart.
- [Man] So it's just chunks, and it's like
a giant puzzle.
- [Man] Wow, I have all those colors right there.
Interesting.
- Imagine how many fibers there are in a dart board.
Do you reckon there's millions?
- I'd reckon so.
- You'd reckon?
(chuckles)
Australian English, coming into--
You reckon so.
- We gotta get this bullseye out, though.
It's just this guy.
Right there, look at that.
It's a little table.
- That's all we've been aiming at this whole time?
- It's just this little thing, yeah.
(chuckles)
Like we were saying earlier, I thought it was rubber,
and I was curious as to why you hit the dart board
many, many times but then it just goes away.
There's so many of 'em.
- [Boy] They just push so much pressure on it.
- It just goes through it and it comes out,
it doesn't really expand it or anything,
there's so many of 'em.
- No.
- You just happen to hit in between a couple
of them, then it comes out.
We had a blast with our friends from How Ridiculous.
They have a great channel
where they do incredible trick shots.
- We've just done one with bullseyes and a dart board.
It's incredible, seriously,
the shots that we've done, off the charts,
you've gotta see them to believe them.
So there'll be a link in the description,
and the end card, make sure you check them out.
You don't wanna miss this.
- It'll be fun.
Thanks for watching, guys.
