Season 3 - Episode 33 - 05-19-2017
Fan in a car in NYC. Lots of news today, good and bad: another summer day but the cold is coming back this afternoon. Boosted board ride to a parent-teacher conference for Francine. A guys goes faster than him on his bicycle. After the meeting, Candice thinks that they were not talking of her child, because she seems to behave so much better than at home. Stop in a park, Casey reads the conclusion the teachers made, he is proud of Francine. He will work in the park today until he runs out of battery. Back at the studio, still lot of packages to open. "Handle with care, monkeys inside" written on a parcel. t-shirts with monkey. Letters to open on and off camera. A letter with "Kelly will you go out with me?" from an anonymous boy. Big package with an electric skateboard. He thanks the sender but he is also very loyal to Boosted Board because they make a fantastic product. Tiny little skateboard. Wallnut Spectra. No controller, it is how you step on the skateboard that makes it go forward, backward or turn. He needs to try it outside. In the back alley, Marlon is there, they both try it. It is a little small for Marlon but Casey likes the idea for traveling, Marlon figures out to use it. He lends it to a skateboarder in the street. Casey still can't figure out how to make it go forward. He really likes the idea: tiny, no controller, high range, well built... but even with all he knows about skateboards, electric vehicles and software he can't ride it. Why do they ask for a username and password for a skateboard? Back in the studio he calls the guy who sent him the skateboard. He gives him advices on the app, control... and asks him to manage to ride it before making a conclusion to his review. To be continued. At home at night, before going to sleep Casey explains that the race (half marathon) is tomorrow, 5 hours of sleep before but he is very excited. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOn8xawC-HQ
