Sandro Dias Sets Two Skateboarding World Records With Skyscraper Drop in Brazil

Guinness-certified measurements on a custom ramp at Porto Alegre’s CAFF building clocked the 50-year-old at 103.8 kph.

Overview

  • Dias descended roughly 70 meters down a curved ramp fixed to the Centro Administrativo Fernando Ferrari, establishing the tallest drop into a temporary quarter pipe.
  • The run also set the fastest speed on a temporary quarter pipe, with Guinness World Records officials on site to validate the marks.
  • The purpose-built structure used plywood panels fitted to the facade, with air fences and a foam-cube barrier to manage the high-speed stop.
  • Red Bull streamed the attempt live on Red Bull TV and YouTube, with apparel and protective gear supplied by Prada Linea Rossa.
  • A longtime star known as the “King of the 540,” Dias previously completed a 30-meter drop in 2019 after training to withstand extreme G-forces.
