With a top speed of 28 mph Simon Stricker<\/a> masterly manuals 1.35 miles down the Bernina Pass in Graub\u00fcnden, Switzerland<\/a>, in a record-shattering time of 4 minutes and 6 seconds.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Play the video above and witness Stricker traverse beautiful scenery and deftly skate alongside oncoming traffic to secure a New Guinness World Record.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The previous Guinness World Record for the “longest manual (wheelie) on a skateboard<\/a>” had been set by Sean Glatts at 735.99 feet long one minute and sixteen seconds which he achieved at Solana Beach in California.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

To clarify, a manual is a balancing act where skate athletes ride their boards on two wheels – a popular trick of which there are four variants.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Stricker performs the standard manual for this feat down the Pass, which completing at all is a feat all on its own (the manual just makes it especially cool).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

With astonishing and unprecedented speed, Stricker soars through the Pass.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Before the epic event took place, Red Bull<\/a> sponsors had the opportunity to speak with an anxious Stricker.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

He went on to share that the terminal speed and various paths within the route would make this endeavor a particular challenge.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

However, any doubt that may have been present in the vicinity was quickly dashed aside as Stricker took off in stride, a master of his craft.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
