A boy has found an unusual way to pick up speed on his skateboard, using a leaf blower to propel himself backwards across the ground.Footage shared by @david_rabe shows the youngster sitting on his skateboard while holding a leaf blower, the kind commonly used to blow leaves and grass clippings off driveways and lawns. When he switches it on, the force sends him rolling backwards, turning an ordinary piece of garden equipment into a makeshift skateboard booster.The clip captures the boy’s unexpected ride as he moves backwards on the board, with the person sharing the footage joking that he had “broke the land speed record” and adding that it was okay because he had a helmet.
