Brazilian skateboarder Sandro Dias, aka the King of the 540, is a legend for this:
From his view:
That's two world records in one. The 50-year-old skater dropped in from 70 meters (230 feet) which is being called a 60-meter (196 feet) drop-in by Red Bull. We'll wait for Guinness to give us the exact number. Dias also hit a top speed of 103kph, or 64mph. Again, those are Red Bull's numbers.
From Redbull.com:
Dubbed the 'ultimate skate ramp' by local fans, the [Centro Administrativo Fernando Ferrari building] 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.
Sandro gradually worked his way up from a 55-meter drop to the final 70-meter height, and here's how he got to the slots.
Man, I love extreme sports ...
I love watching extreme sports.
Those guys are wild!
