Todd Swank - The first record holder for the worlds ^hk22^ skateboard
In 1996, Todd Swank from San Diego, Californa, built a skateboard for himself and his {buddies} that was 10ft {^hk1^}, 4ft Wide and 3ft high. It weighed 500 pounds and he {^hk2^} tires from a sports {car}. He {said} he wanted to {^hk5^} a skateboard that no {1} would forget.

Look how big Rob Dyrdekcff0478#39;s skateboard is compared to this truckcff0478amp; trailer
Here is a shot of the truck hanger, baseplate and wheels
{Well} now pro skateboarder Rob Dyrdek is going {after} the {globe} record and he is going to make it the {largest} most realistic skateboard in comparison to the other Guinness {Globe} Record Holders. Rob’s board will be 38′-6″ {long} and 5′-6″ tall and we will have to get the official {results} from Guiness when they go measure the skateboard. This board is an {precise} replica of a Rob Dyrdek Skateboard {complete} with Silver Trucks, Alien Workshop / CA Skateparks graphics, grip tape and all the nuts and bolts. {As soon as} the skateboard was completed he loaded it up and took it down to the Venice beach board walk for a cruise and that is pictured {below}.

That’s the most sickest thing ive ever seen.

I was the former record holder, great job guys congrats from Perth Western Australia
Dude, i can make a bigger skateboard in my back yard!!!
dude that is pretty epic
im pretty excited to see who can outdo this
im just glad people actually still about still breaking the records
Dude i seen the epa=isode when rob first shown the skateboard and i waz thinkin that the only skatebaord i could skate on lol =p
wow your all gay my boys at benson steel in saugerties built the biggest skate board in the world and have the guiness book certificate
man dat was tite dude i wish you can come to omaha and come to our school beveride and nathanhale my teacher loves skateborders so would you please come you will get alot of money if you come to the qweust center
wow, i think that board is kinda stupid bescause, well, it looks dorky and if you want to make the right brand, you gotta make a huge tony hawk board.
So here is a quick story –about 4 years ago I designed a board based on a few “antique boards and I with the help of Benson Steel in saugerties and my sons Jules and Jasper and lots of others from the Saugerties junior skatepark commitee built aboard which is 33 feet long and 8 ‘ 1″ wide while in the process of getting our Guiness status Rob came up with his board . Our board was built to raise money for our community’s skatepark which is being built (all in concrete) as of this entry (saugerties skatepark .com) our board is linked with my name under largest skateboard lives . I would love to propose to Rob that we hit some undulating slopes —maybe in the desert where we can see the old with the new. As our trucks actually have air shocks we can definetly challenge Rob to an interesting ride.Hail the invention of the wheel. John Kahn
Dude I am a Bay De Noc alumni ~ which is weird cause I didnt know about this skateboard until I saw Rob Dyrdek making fun of “Boc Day Noc” (as he called it) on his show! I about crapped! Dyrdek’s shows are my favorite (but I miss Big =[ bring him back!!!)
