Even the most adventurous of us can't muster the energy to get off the couch sometimes.
Fast-food loving, high-flying YouTuber Collin Randle is a flight student and paramotorist -- that's a sport that combines paragliding with a motorized, caged propeller if you haven't heard of it.
On most days, Randle uses his gear to get around his home base of Salt Lake City, Utah, whether it's to Burger King or into the mountains. But while he's usually in the sky, his newest video brings him up to speed on the ground for a special quest to McDonald's.
For this project, Randle and his friend Arcenio combined a couch, a children's bike, a couple of wheels and a paramotor to create the stunningly hilarious and totally not street-legal contraption you see in this video. According to Randle, the idea was a spin-off of his brother Chad's idea – a skouch (a couch on skis). This incarnation, which Randle calls the ParaCouch, seems to be more versatile.
And it isn't as unwieldy as you might imagine. The pair drove it past a speed radar, and it clocked in at 32 mph. According to Randall, they might have gone even faster, but the tires kept blowing during their attempts.
"We were really worried cops would pull us over and take it from us. Luckily there were no police," Randle told Mashable. "Every single person we passed stared as we drove by. Random people took pictures and a family member sent us one of his friends posted a picture on Instagram of us driving by on the street tagging us as the elusive swamp couch."
