I don't know whether riding an oversized pool deck while permanently strapped to a car really counts. Does he or his crazy scientist friend know that speed boarding exists already and the equipment has already been designed. It looked like he was riding a bunnings board with indy 169s

I'm pretty sure the Kevin Reimer got close to that a few years ago in brazil.

I'm kinda surprised that Danny Way has no knowledge of modern downhill, but that's about the only conclusion I can reach after watching this. His whole approach was ridiculous and a bit embarrassing for such a well-regarded skater.

For the record, 74mph is 118km/h, but it really doesn't mean much does it!

this video is a joke.
didn't Reimer hit 123kmph (76mph) in Colorado a year or 2 ago?

dude people in Teutonia were hitting 130k's this year... Daula is the 'unoficial' fastest man on a skateboard... Danny Way can go suck eggs that shit is just gay... theres many people who can go faster than 74mph on a skateboard using just gravity, and most of them dont even race! hell Chiara Pocente has been over 120k's and shes a girl!

yeah that sorta annoyed me with his lack of research, I'm pretty sure k-rhymes hit around 76.6mph (that was off a gps and isnt an official measurement), and that was pure gravity.
its K-Rimes not rhymes... hes not a rapper

so is there an 'official' record, id go to Guinness but id bet they have danny's stunt listed as the record :S
no one has been bothered to set out the equipment yet?

guiness world records were at Teutonia last year but they misfired their equpiment 6 times. Tom estrand was booking it at like over 126k's per hour... He was too fast for them.
This year they didnt have Guiness but they had speed traps or radars or whatever to record thte speed that Daula got...
Guinness world records is a different circus, they have to be there and use their own equipment to record it
