1992 - Fastest Skating Behind a Car
It turns out that this page is NOT for fastest
skating behind a car, but instead is for fastest
speed surfing on TOP of a car (lying down, hanging
on for dear life, with no safety equipment!).
I'm
including the page here anyway, because at least
one Web site listed this link under "Fastest Skating
Behind a Car", and also because it's kind of an interesting page.
For more information about this feat
(mostly in German, some in English), see
stuntman
Marko König's Web Site.
