The fastest skateboard speed achieved in a standing position is 129.94 km/h (80.74 mph) and was achieved by Mischo Erban (Canada), at Les Éboulements, Quebec, Canada, on 18 June 2012.
The record attempt took place on the road descending to the St. Lawrence River port of Saint-Joseph-de-la-Rive, the departure point for ferries to L’Isle-aux-Coudres. The road is noted for being dangerously steep, in points descending at an 18% grade.
