New Skateboarding World Speed Record of km/h ( mph)

Mischo Erban shattered his own IGSA Downhill Skateboarding World Speed Record on Thursday, September 30, 2010 when he reached a speed of km/h ( mph) at a secret location in Colorado. This represents an astonishing increase of 13% over his previous record of km/h ( mph). 27-year old Erban, who lives in Vernon, BC, Canada rode a longboard using a stand up, head forward, arms back, tuck position to achieve the record. He was wearing a leather suit, gloves and a full-face protective helmet. Erban’s record was set entirely using gravity with no motorized assistance. “Honestly we never thought we would hit 130 km/h,“ said Erban. “It was an exploratory effort that surprised us all!“ The speed was recorded by the International Gravity Sports Association (IGSA) using their Tag Heuer-manufactured, speed trap timing device. IGSA Official Gary Fluitt verified the record. Erban was riding a GMR skateboard with stock Seismic 85mm Speed Vent
