BREAKING: Just moments ago, 50 year old Sandro Dias shattered the World Record for the highest skate drop in in history. 230 feet (70 meters)
Warming up with a 55 meter drop. Moving to a 60. Then 65. 4 total attempts, increasing in height by 5 meters, 16.4 feet, each attempt. On the 65 meter drop he broke the speed record on a skateboard 59mph (95km/hr). He then broke it again on the 230 foot drop(70 meter) reaching the speed of apprx 100kmph
The end of the ramp angles up to help him slow down, I’m super curious what speed he impacts the foam/airbag wall at. This is insane. It’s giving me Robby Madison and Felix Bumgartner legend vibes. This will for sure be defined as one of the biggest moments in action sports history.
Riding 60mm b***d wheels and some BEEFY trucks.
Fun fact Sandro Dias helps people in venerable positions skate for free. Sandro is recognized as the king of the 540. He is also the first Brazilian to land 900 and the first skater in the world to land the 900 in a contest. In 2012 Sandro was nominated for the action sports hall of fame.
