Fortnite star Nick Eh 30 has mocked IShowSpeed’s car jumping stunts by faking a video of him jumping over a Ferrari.
IShowSpeed shocked viewers when he posted a video showing him jumping over his Cristiano Ronaldo-branded Lamborghini. However, fans soon accused him of using video editing to fake the viral clip.
In an attempt to prove them wrong, Speed followed up with another stunt. This time he leaped over two cars back-to-back via while livestreaming on YouTube. Even then, some remain unconvinced.
One of which was Fortnite legend Nick Eh 30, who mocked IShowSpeed on August 5 by posting two different clips to Twitter/X of him seemingly jumping over an oncoming Ferrari in the style of Speed.
“I jumped over a car it was so scary,” he titled the viral post, before responding an hour later to confirm it was fake, “Do not try this at home. This is edited/not real. I didn’t actually jump over a car.”
Do not try this at home. This is edited/not real. I don’t actually jump over a car. https://t.co/4KR2rsquPJ

“Oh dang I thought it was real,” one commented, as another added: “Fake or not that’s still impressive as f**k.”
However, various Speed fans hit out at Nick for “mocking” him and continued to claim his stunt was real.

“If you still think Speed’s livestream of this was edited then you need to step outside some more lmao. The whole stream gave us the view, people, the street, interaction, live donos etc,” a user replied.
“Nick. Please. Just stop. I know part of you feels some need to prove he didn’t do it because part of you feels invalidated for some reason…but it’s not about you and it’s okay to be happy for a guy without taking it as an attack,” another responded.
Others continued to make comparisons in regard to shadows, several camera angles, and subtle differences. “Your body didn’t have a reflection on the car like Speed’s did,” one echoed the comments of many.
Nick initially called Speed out after watching his clips on August 4. “IShowSpeed just jumped two Lambos in a row? That’s all CGI. Um, not CGI but just edited. It’s called masking. This is all fake,” he said, before posting his viral recreation a day later.
