Determined to prove his critics wrong, the young man born in 2005 decided to livestream his next attempt to dispel any doubts. In the video, IShowSpeed says, “This is for all the people who said it was fake,” clearly addressing the accusations. He also repeatedly asks those around him to capture his actions on camera.
To perform this stunt on a live stream, IShowSpeed had to block off an entire street. The local police blocked both ends of the street to ensure no unfortunate accidents occurred during the attempt.

In the challenge, the Lamborghini Huracan went first, and IShowSpeed easily jumped over it. Without pausing, he immediately urged the driver of the McLaren 720S to go. Demonstrating precise timing, Darren Watkins Jr safely jumped over the second supercar.
After successfully completing the challenge, the live audience went wild with excitement. The moment he jumped over the two supercars back-to-back immediately went viral on social media and sparked discussions across various platforms.
Many internet celebrities expressed their admiration for the die-hard Cristiano Ronaldo fan.
Many comments on social media platform X expressed admiration for IShowSpeed. Statements like “He should be a professional athlete instead of a streamer” and “Send him to the Olympics, that leap was impressive” were commonly seen.
Some users on platform X criticized the risky behavior of the die-hard Cristiano Ronaldo fan, arguing that it could negatively influence younger audiences. Others remained skeptical, claiming that the livestream was still fake. “There’s no way those supercars could have stopped so quickly while speeding,” commented an X user.
Currently, IShowSpeed’s video of jumping over two supercars has been removed from YouTube for violating community guidelines. Nonetheless, Darren Watkins Jr.’s daring act continues to be a hot topic on social media with no signs of slowing down.
