Beat My TOP SPEED, Win $100!

I've always wanted to try this! So I spent $3,000 on a police grade speed radar sign and found out just how fast my top end speed is. Then I challenged college kids at the University of Oregon to see if they could beat me!! I announce all my events here: / nicksymmonds

These videos are getting dumb. Nick, you spent $3,000 on a sign and paid out $100 to contestants as prizes. Why not reverse the expenditure there..? Second, you set the bar so high then get people who aren’t in the mindset to compete to participate. Lastly, what’s the point of even stopping tk participate if you’re a girl. There’s no chance. Be like that Austin guy and be overly generous. You’re giving out like $200-600 per episode. Your channel is decently big. You spent $3000 on a sign. You can’t give out more..?
