Watch This Gnarly Dude Break The World Skateboarding Speed Record
Until a week ago, the fastest any human had ever gone on a skateboard was 80 MPH. That is fast enough to leave you streaked across a generous stretch of road should you fall, but it was not nearly as mega gnarly as Kyle Wester’s 89.4 MPH shred that he pulled off on August 29....
