Brazilian Skater Sandro Dias Breaks Two World Records on 22-Storey Ramp in Porto Alegre

Brazilian skateboarder Sandro Dias set two Guinness World Records by skating down a 22-story building in Porto Alegre, Brazil, achieving the tallest drop into a temporary quarter pipe and reaching a top speed of approximately 64 mph. The descent lasted eight seconds and involved dropping 70 meters from the Centro Administrativo Fernando Ferrari building. Dias, 50 years old and sponsored by Red Bull, described the feat as a longtime dream and emphasized the mental focus required to accomplish such a risky stunt. Despite the physical and psychological challenges, he reported feeling surprisingly normal and uninjured after the event, crediting rigorous preparation and mental strength.

The project took over a decade from conception to completion, reflecting both the complexity and ambition behind the stunt.
