Because ideas come in all shapes, sizes, and practicality (this one ranks incredibly low in practicality), this is a video of Drew Dirksen testing the pool float he made entirely out of red Solo cups, super glue, and packing tape. Does it float? Yes. Can it support a child? Yes.
This is a short video of a kid playing in virtual reality and attempting to cross a balance beam held aloft in the sky when he gets to the end and does what anybody would: spreads his wings and attempts to fly. Props to him for not being afraid, even

The production value is surprisingly high, which explains why they were only able to make a 5-minute movie. Unfortunately for me and my viewing
This is a video of adventurer Jay Alvarrez and friends jumping around on a trampoline that’s suspended below a hot air balloon floating above the clouds. There’s also a video of him skateboarding a mini half pipe suspended beneath the balloon (Red Bull did this previously). Per one particularly insightful
