It’s emerged the world’s fastest downhill skateboarder practiced his record attempt in Ireland before taking on his record-breaking slope.
27-year-old Spaniard Diego Poncelet achieved the fastest skateboard speed in a standing position in Canada in September, hitting a pace of above 151 kilometres per hour on the downward slope.
In trying to locate the perfect road to attempt the World Record, Mr Poncelet says he skated down Mamore Gap in Inishowen.
However, he decided to settle on the same road the previous record was set on in Quebec…………..
