Blink and you’ll miss it.
Skateboarder Kyle Wester absolutely destroyed his sport’s speed record, hitting nearly 90 miles per hour while going downhill last week, according to a clip Santa Cruz Skateboards posted to YouTube.
Wester hit 89.41 mph. Just watch him go:
The current world record as recognized by Guinness is 80.74 mph, which Mischo Erban of Canada set in 2012.
However, the “unofficial” record is 81.17 mph, set by Erik Lundberg this year.
It’s not yet clear if Guinness will certify Wester’s effort last week
