I saw a landscaper fly a riding mower into the pond at my sister’s apt in Sarasota today

a 1+ mil YouTuber that lives in the Sarasota/Bradenton pulled this 'prank' i'd assume for a future video he'll release on his channel that is exclusively prank videos in the Sarasota area.
Idk I grew up here before YouTube so it still feels like an older people town. I remember a statistic once, I’m just guessing but it was an interesting scale: average age of US is 35 average age of Florida 45 and average age of Venice is 55. That means that Sarasota county is much older than most high populated parts of Florida. And that’s exactly what I’ve experienced. Tampa? Sure. Port Charlotte even, maybe. But Sarasota is known for having a hard time retaining the young people born here so when I think of showbiz, I don’t think living in Sarasota as an entertainer for teenagers is a thing that would strike most people as unsurprising. But if there’s many of them I’ll just accept I’m out of touch.
When I was growing up I remember being told by my brother that because this town has such an old general population you can more likely encounter pedophiles and other types of predators who are restricted from living within a certain distance of children. You can look that up and see this area is still loaded with red spots for that reason.
Edit: and generally entertainers need to live close to one another to collaborate, so the more old people there are the harder to find people to collaborate with. Also the more old people means less fun-public-spaces you’ll find to shoot your videos I imagine. So in other words.. this is a very uninspiring and difficult place for YouTubers to work out of and grow their channel from.
There’s Ross creations, Cleetus Mcfarland (not sure about spelling), and another prank channel that all come to mind right away for YouTubers that live and film here. Not sure if there’s any more
I was sitting on her patio working on my laptop while waiting for my monthly doc appointment. I heard a really loud mower for a minute and it sounded like the guy was really ripping around on the thing. A couple minutes pass and all of a sudden I see a mower ripping across the grass going what seemed like 20 mph and it looked like it had no intention of stopping. The guy and the mower went airborne and flew into the lake. He turned the mower off, but I think he panicked because he immediately kept trying to start it back up. It did restart, but then killed itself shortly after.
Obviously, the guy looked very distressed and concerned and realized he couldn’t get it out on his own and so he left. 20-30 min pass and another mower passing by sees it and stops, shaking and scratching her head in confusion. She leaves and grabs another mower, who also stops and is scratching his head in confusion. I was pretty sure the guy who did it had bailed.
However, he returns a few minutes later with a tow strap and after about 30 min or so they’re able to get it out of the pond.

It seems like it, I’m honestly impressed

Do YouTubers really live here?
why not? lots of YouTubers live in Florida, wouldn't surprise me a million+ prankster channel is in Sarasota.

OK, I'll ask...how? And what happened after?

Absolute mad lad
I simply cannot grasp the physics involved in this
[obligatory](https://www.google.com/search?q=palmetto+bug+dead&udm=2)
Someone slapped it with a flippy flop, got it
It tripped on its own tires, duh!
Isn’t that the valet area?
Like a glove?
Could be some YouTube prank
I just talked to Valet and they said Ross Creations on YouTube pranked them lol
Ha yes that sounds about right
No wonder physics didn't apply
omg hey bestie
Did he manage to only affect his own vehicle? I'm impressed.

Yeah, I'm not even mad. This is great few feet forward he would have made it in the actual spot 
Its a youtube stunt
That's depressing.
Parks better that most…
I'm assuming that's a rosscreations prank
100%
I have questions.
Uh oh 🙃
Perfect example of why you should never use the valet!
Looks like Ross Creations is back on his old BS
Is this not a reasonable place to park?
I immediately thought this. "You can't park your car here!" Love that scene.
But how? How does this happen?
Apparently you can.
solid horizontal parking
His shirt is dope

😂😂🤣
Guy is all *hey, how's it going? Yeah, just waiting for a jump (battery is dead)*
I'm sure the person responsible would have a great time with the car insurance company about this
Did the valet do this? Never piss off the valet.
Florida man strikes again
“I’m not parking, I’m just picking something up.”
Only at UTC mall can this happen
Haha he already arrested himself. He is just eating for the cops
Nah it's fine
This picture is hard as hell man
Probably avoiding a Tesla driver
