This skateboarder broke a world record of 151 km/h on a Quebec road

My name is Diego Poncelet and I'm a downhill skateboarder and I just broke the skateboarding speed record and went 151.83 kilometers per hour which is about I believe 94 miles an hour. It's I would say almost a lifelong dream or at least when I started skating when I was 14 I thought I'd love to one day become the fastest skater on the planet. It was about four years ago that I actually sort of channeled all my energies into this project. It took a long time because it was a very difficult challenge the last record was set with a big big tailwind that only happens about once a year the road had also deteriorated quite a bit so most people thought that 150 was not possible and so it took a lot of time to develop different aerodynamic appendices that i added to my body for it to be possible also trained of course my technique my mental etc in terms of the road i had been told again that this was not skatable anymore because it had deteriorated over the winters in canada i had to go and check it out for myself it was actually skatable how come canada how come quebec well you guys have the fastest roads in the world it's difficult to know exactly why but you you have some pretty crazy engineers that get us some really good grades which for us is absolutely amazing the first day of testing we had no wind but we broke it and we got 146.8 and 147.4 i did not feel satisfied and i didn't celebrate and everyone was telling me why did you not celebrate man this is you've been chasing this for so long and it's because i knew the battle was not over in reality i wanted the 150 and it was quite difficult actually the days after that because we did not have favorable conditions for a while and thankfully on the last day from 4 to 5 p.m the wind changed it turned and right at the moment where it was coming from the northeast we just got it perfectly and that was the 151 first off absolute ecstasy right like just a deep sense of happiness of pride for all the people who helped me also a little bit of emotion since the guy who broke it before me was a good friend of ours and he passed away last year from a cancer so it was also a tribute to him he was the only guy who thought that 150 was possible so when we got it we thought yes dude you were right it was possible what usually happens to athletes and other people who achieve a long goal they think well what now i've been obsessed with this for four years of constantly thinking about it and suddenly i have like all this space in my head to think about something else so i'm gonna have to think about the next crazy thing.
