Cops pull over guy on JET powered skateboard

What did you think?

"Where in the rulebook?" Frankie Lapenna asks from his jet-powered skateboard. The Grand Rapids police officer beside him has a question of his own: "Do you really want me to go into this?"

That exchange is the center of "Cops pull over guy on JET powered skateboard," a comedy vlog that has prompted considerably more conversation than Lapenna's usual Short. Its first-day comments came in at nearly six times the usual level, even though its first-day views were ordinary for the channel.

The board is more than an odd-looking electric longboard: the footage shows flames shooting from it. Lapenna rides alongside traffic, and a later montage includes a roadside speed sign registering 27 mph.

The officer keeps the exchange conversational, but his instruction is clear: "I have to do my job, and my job is to not allow you to rip down the road on a jet-propelled skateboard."

Lapenna's description asks how this differs from an electric longboard if no law specifically prohibits it. Viewers take up that question, asking which ordinance applies and debating how motorized vehicles are classified. Others focus on his lack of protective gear and what a stray pebble could do. The clip doesn't settle the legal question; it gives Lapenna's improbable transport a very practical obstacle: an officer telling him to stop.
