    The Slow Mo Guys React to MythBuster's BEST High-Speed Clips

    12/1/2026 | 42 mins.
    How did MythBusters inspire the Slow Mo Guys to create one of YouTube's biggest channels? Gav and Dan reveal how watching MythBusters' high-speed explosion shots changed everything, why old high-speed cameras were terrible compared to today's technology and Dan's brutal 15-foot drop in front of Tony Hawk that nearly broke his pelvis. Plus, the one MythBusters experiment Gav and Dan desperately want to retest with modern cameras, and a fan submission that might finally prove arrow-splitting is possible.
