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

You'd think they'd pave those things, sheeesh. And what's with the 15MPH speed limit? Seriously, it was posted. But seriously, thanks for this post. I don't think we need any more speed limit signs in the wilderness.

Given that seven miles is a comfortable walk, I don't think that makes Britain very remote. I don't know what the answer would be for the USA? I assume there are many more untouched areas. Something to be preserved - for definite. According to an Ordnance Survey study, the most remote part of Britain is 7 miles away from a tarmac road (not including tracks that allow vehicles).

Still working out the final icon design based on feedback and will get a site up soon to help promote it, including some usage guidelines etc. Thanks for the plugin!

It is probably much more reasonable for most people to want to take the train than hike up a mountain.

If a majority of people enjoy the train more, shouldn't developers be allowed to build trains to the tops of a majority of Colorado's 14'ers? I'm just saying that if they're going to make that argument, they should at least have to cite a majority of people who have done both.

Because I got to go with my family, I got to see my parents on top of a 14er, and I didn't just spend the last 10 hours sweating up a steep trail only to come over the edge and find a parking lot and gift shop. Sure, hiking is generally more rewarding. But I think that reward is usually the quiet mountain top, and the beautiful views that you had to work so hard to get. The views from Pikes peak aren't as great, and the summit is generally not that quiet. I think the problem here may not be the people who were questioned, but the mountain that was in question.
