Mineirinho Drops 70 Meters on Porto Alegre Building, Claims World Skate Record

Guinness officials observed the Red Bull–state 'Building Drop' stunt using a bespoke ramp with layered safety measures.

Overview

  • Sandro Dias completed progressive descents from 30 meters up to a 70-meter drop on the CAFF façade after surpassing the record on a 65-meter run.
  • Event coverage reported top speeds near 94–95 km/h on the highest runs, and O Globo later reported two Guinness records including a 103 km/h mark.
  • Guinness World Records representatives were on site to verify the attempt, with formal certification pending confirmation.
  • Organizers built what officials described as the largest skate ramp ever, installing eight platforms, extending the run-out, and adding impact protections.
  • The project was produced by Red Bull in partnership with the state government under an agreement that includes building two public skateparks, and Dias said he had reached his limit and would not push the mark further.
