A former gymnastics coach, escape artist Houdenny (not Houdini) from Maryland, apparently once did a handstand on a skateboard towed by a car at 47 miles-per-hour.
I don’t want to see the video of that idiotic feat.
But these are cool:
Watch HOUDENNYS HANDSTAND ON A SKATEBOARD AT age-47 on YouTube.
Watch YouTube – HOUDENNYS ELBOW STAND ON A SKATEBOARD age-47 on YouTube.
Houdenny – MySpace home page
Not to be outdone, “Dave” (age-44) claims “The World Record” for the longest handstand on a skateboard. On HWY 35 (backside of Mt. Hood) in Oregon, going approx. 2 plus miles (in 2006).
Click PLAY or watch video of Dave shot in March 2007 on YouTube.
Leave a comment if you know of other handstand / skateboard feats. (We’ll need video evidence to post them.)
