Filmed all over PA, MD, and even MI. Carl moved back to his home area over the fall-summer from 2016-2017 while I was back and fourth but we managed to get enough clips for an edit, so that’s what we did.
In hot and dusty conditions in the tropical setting of Cairns, Australia, The YT Mob’s Aaron Gwin finished 3rd in the UCI World Downhill Championships, taking home his first career UCI medal. Teammate Neko Mulally made a return to racing after needing surgery on his wrist, and finished a commendable 19th place. Both riders will see a significant improvement to their UCI World Ranking after crashing out of the World Championships last year.
Swiss skateboarder Simon Stricker just did 2.17km with an average speed of 31.5 km/h while performing a manual. On a street skateboard!
The Bernina Pass is better known as a gateway for skiers but the Swiss route acted as the backdrop for a skateboard record. Swiss competitor Simon Stricker hit speeds of up to 45km/h as he shattered the previous best for a manual. At an average speed of 31.5 km/h, Stricker needed to achieve a distance of 1.5 kilometres on two wheels alone (hence, with his skateboard tipped upwards), facing a perilous balancing act for the duration of the record attempt.
