Brit skateboards across Australia

Apparently the record for the longest journey by skateboard no longer belongs to an American. I still remember being impressed when on a long bike tour I met a guy heading the other way on a scooter, bag over his shoulder, headed 200 miles south to San Francisco. He didn’t have a camera crew, and probably never made the paper.

  2. The record will soon belong to a New Zealander, once verified.

  3. The title now for longest journey by skateboard was on by a British named Welshman, if I’m not mistaken. How I wish that there is some sort of video for us to see the winning event.
