A skateboarder from Spain broke a Guinness World Record in Canada when he was clocked at a speed of 94.34 mph while traveling downhill in Canada.

Oct. 16 (UPI) -- A skateboarder from Spain broke a Guinness World Record in Canada when he was clocked at a speed of 94.34 mph while traveling downhill in Canada.

Guinness World Records confirmed Diego Poncelet, 27, earned the record for the fastest skateboard speed downhill (standing) when he reached the staggering speed on a closed section of Route des Éboulements in Quebec's Charlevoix region.

The location chosen by Poncelet was the same spot where the previous record was set.

Poncelet said he reached a top speed of 91.27 mph on his first test run, which alone would have been enough to take the record, but he waited five more days for better weather conditions and reached a speed of 94.34 mph on Sept. 22.

"I never truly admitted to myself that my real objective was to get to 93mph -- I was scared that it wouldn't be doable," Poncelet told sponsor Red Bull. "But I realized that I couldn't lie to myself -- at 91.27 mph, I wasn't satisfied yet. It was only when I got that 93 mph that I was completely ecstatic."
