Traveling 89 mph down this hill in a vehicle is scary enough. Skateboarder Kyle Wester just accomplished it on his skateboard.
Wester set out to break Erik Lundberg's 81.17 mph record for fastest skateboard speed downhill at an undisclosed location on Tuesday August 29. After a last-minute wheel adjustment, Wester hit the hill and shattered the current record with a speed of 89.41mph.
"Feels great man. Dream come true," Wester said after learning his new top speed.
While impressive, Wester isn't the official record holder just yet. Guiness World Records released the following statement to Mashable.
Our Records Management Team is currently reviewing his application (the review process can take up to 12 weeks). So as of right now, the current record holder for the Guinness World Records title for Fastest skateboard speed downhill (standing) is still Mischo Erban for his attempt back in 2012.
