O&#8217;Mahoney is the creator of the first televised World Record skateboarding events in 1975 for the Guinness World Records at the request of Sir David Frost, ABC Television and Guinness World Records. The first world records for skateboarding included the barrel jump, high jump and fastest speed on a skateboard. Guinness World Records has been invited to endorse the &#8216;HIGHEST WALL RIDE&#8217; event for a Guinness World Record.<\/p>\n<p>The World Record &#8216;HIGHEST WALL RIDE&#8217; will not be a roll-in approach as this is a contest based on pure human skill. The skateboarders will approach the wall ride from a flat surface under his or her own power. There will be an 80-foot runway up to the wall ride. The skateboarder must skate up to a 4-foot tall wedge ramp set up at a 45 degree angle straight to a 17-foot tall vertical wall. The wall will be 12-feet wide. No fakies. No grabs. The skateboarder must remain on the board and come back down the wall then down the wedge ramp back to flat ground while remaining in control of the skateboard. The &#8216;HIGHEST WALL RIDE&#8217; will be measured by the highest point reached by the back wheel of the skateboard on the vertical wall. Rules for the contest will be announced on Aug 21, 2004. Skateboarders wishing to compete will need to pre-register and sign in at the Board Gallery before 2:30PM on Saturday, August 21, 2004.<\/p>\n<p>Skaters must be invited and must pre-register to compete. There are no registration fees. To register for the contest, call Juice Magazine at 310-399-5336. A professional street course, wall ride and mini ramp will be provided by the same crew that designed and built the X Games mini ramps and street course. Expected attendance for this event is 50,000-100,000 spectators throughout the weekend.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_23828\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-23828\" style=\"width: 504px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-23828 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/juicemagazine.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/TUMAWALLOVER1-sm-tt.jpg\" alt=\"Eric Tuma Britton at the World Record Wall Ride\" width=\"504\" height=\"759\" srcset=\"https:\/\/juicemagazine.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/TUMAWALLOVER1-sm-tt.jpg 504w, https:\/\/juicemagazine.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/TUMAWALLOVER1-sm-tt-199x300.jpg 199w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 504px) 100vw, 504px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-23828\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Eric Tuma Britton at the World Record Wall Ride<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Skateboarders that have confirmed attendance include: Christian Hosoi, Brian Patch, Eric Dressen, Jesse Martinez, Eric Britton, Aaron &#8216;Fingers&#8217; Murray, John Lucero, Patrick Melcher, Ragdoll, Pat Rakestraw, Chris Cook, Darrel Delgado, Jake Piasecki, Dave Reul, Don Fisher, Eddie Reategui, Jimmy &#8216;The Greek&#8217;, PeeWee, Mike Santarossa, Stacy Lowery, Devon Lamb, Scotty Schwartz, Jim Grey, Heidi Fitzgerald, Pat Ngoho, Cyril Mountain,Frank Hirata, Zack Grove, Baby Paul Cullen and many more&#8230; DJ CESAR, underground pool ripper and party man will be providing the music.<\/p>\n<p>Sponsors include: The Firm, Independent, Alien Workshop, &#8216;es, Etnies, Krooked, Think, Vans, Baker, Flip, Juice Magazine, Black Label, Red Kross, Fury, Bulldog Skates, Skaterbuilt, Daggers, SPAUSA, Z-Cult, Z-Flex, Alva, Shizzle, Dogtown, Outlook and Skaterade.<\/p>\n<p>The BOARD GALLERY is located on the third level of the Hollywood + Highland shopping and entertainment center at 6801 Hollywood Blvd, Hollywood, CA.
