Diego Poncelet Sets Downhill Skateboarding World Record at 94 MPH on a Steep Quebec Road
Two-time world champion downhill skater Diego Poncelet, who previously reached 100 kilometers per hour (62 miles per hour) in the Swiss Alps, traveled the world with Red Bull to reach his personal goal of 150 km/h (93.21 mph). He found the perfect road in Quebec, a steep stretch with a maximum gradient of 18%, and tackled its challenges with new aerodynamic equipment, reaching an amazing 151.83 km/h (94.34 mph).
Two time downhill skateboard world champion Diego Poncelet sets a new world record for the fastest speed on a skateboard. Fulfilling a lifelong dream, he travels the world to find the best road for the attempt, and leaves no stone unturned in his pursuit of speed.
Poncelet’s amazing accomplishment also set a new Guinness World Record, breaking the previous mark of 146.73 km/h (91.17 mph) set on the same road in 2017 by his late friend Peter Connolly, whose memory Poncelet honors in the video.
