Sandro Dias's Ultimate Skate Ramp

Skateboarding history made: Sandro Dias drops in from a 22-storey building and shatters the limits.

Overview

Brazilian skateboarding legend Sandro Dias made history, breaking two Guinness World Records™ after dropping in from the curved facade of the 22-story Centro Administrativo Fernando Ferrari (CAFF) building in Porto Alegre, Brazil. During the project, named Red Bull Building Drop, Dias hit a speed of 103kph, skating from a height of 70m with a drop of 60m, which was measured from the lowest point of the ramp to the platform. You can watch highlights in the video above. Dubbed the "ultimate skate ramp" by local fans, the CAFF's towering 88.91m-high structure had been transformed into a temporary skate playground with a custom plywood overlay, creating the perfect surface for Dias's groundbreaking drop-in.
