Star Wars Speeder Bikes Halloween Costume

Every Halloween, content creators Casey Neistat and Jesse Wellens get together to create a viral video showcasing a unique and over-the-top Halloween costume.

The goal was to create a loose illusion that these speeders were hovering through the streets of New York.
