What's up

Biggest Skate Ramp EVER (world record) World champion skateboarder Sandro Dias claimed a new world record for the highest skateboard drop in, using the unique shape of the Brazilian State Rio Grande do Sul building as the perfect mega ramp. Dias began with a drop already higher than a standard 23-metre Megaramp – before pushing the sport’s limits with multiple attempts, across increasing heights along a 88.91 meter tall building.

Sandro Dias Drops Into the World's Tallest Skate Ramp | CAFF, Porto Alegre Brazilian skateboarding pro Sandro Dias made history, breaking two Guinness World Records after dropping in from Centro Administrativo Fernando Ferrari (CAFF), a 22-story building in Porto Alegre, southern Brazil. During the project, named Red Bull Building Drop, Dias hit a speed of 103 km/h, skating from a height of 70 meters with a drop of 60 meters, which was measured from the lowest point of the ramp to the platform. He surpassed the records he had set during training sessions leading up to the day of the drop, when he achieved a drop-in nearly six meters lower, and reached a top speed of 90.8 km/h. "The most important message I want to share is never give up on your dreams. This is a dream of more than 13 years that we've just achieved now, pushing the limits," Dias reflected after the final drop. With this feat, created in collaboration with Prada Linea Rossa, the 50-year-old Red Bull athlete brought to life a long-standing urban legend: transforming the building into the "Ultimate Skate Ramp" - a dream that has been shared for more than a decade through memes, fingerboard recreations, and even a spoof viral YouTube video 16 years ago. Through G-force, speed, and airbag safety training, the feat was the result of precise planning and calculated risk. Sandro trained with a 40-kilogram vest on a modified mega ramp and hit 136 km/h in airport tarmac speed tests. To step onto each platform, Dias was lowered numerous times from the building's rooftop using rappelling equipment - a harness and a rope secured at the top - assisted by experts, fully exposed to the elements. Throughout the feat, Dias carried out a total of four attempts, all successfully executed on the first try. The skater's final descent had never been attempted during training, underscoring his mental and physical fortitude as he ventured into uncharted territory. Officials from the Guinness World Records were present on site to verify Dias' feat and the records he set, awarding the Brazilian a certificate for "the tallest drop into a temporary quarter pipe," and one for "the fastest speed skateboarding on a temporary quarter pipe." To make the descent of the world's biggest ramp possible, plywood panels were constructed along the building's outer curve. The concrete surface beneath was weathered and cracked from years of exposure, making it unsafe for skateboarding in its natural state. The temporary overlay not only protected the building's façade but also allowed Dias to ride a smooth line from top to bottom, while fully utilizing the building's shape. Multiple safety measures were implemented to counter the potential risks associated with the feat, including MotoGP-style air fences - inflatable and energy-absorbing barriers designed to slow down riders in crashes - along the sides of the ramp. Additionally, 1,800 foam cubes were placed at the end of the ramp, allowing Dias to come to a safe stop. Dias's body equipment also included a full-face helmet and a spine protector, neither of which is traditionally used in skateboarding. Dias began an extensive physical and technical training program for the feat in January 2025. From G-force conditioning to wind-speed monitoring, the preparation was a mix of precision planning and calculated risk. Dias trained with a 40-kilogram weighted vest while dropping into a modified mega ramp to adapt his balance to the strain of G-forces. He also conducted speed trials on an airport runway, becoming accustomed to riding at more than 136 km/h on his skateboard. The skater added: "I prepared myself a lot for this. It wasn't easy, and the training was way tougher than this. That's why I was so confident." During Red Bull Building Drop, Dias endured a maximum G force of 3.9 g, making him weigh around 280 kilograms, which is also the weight that he experienced as the maximum ground reaction force - the push the ground sent back to him during the descent. The distinctive curved design of the CAFF building has long drawn comparisons to a giant skateboard quarter pipe, earning a reputation among locals as "the Ultimate Skate Ramp." For years, it fuelled speculation in Porto Alegre's skate community, inspiring memes, stories, and even a doctored video that showed a rider dropping down its side. Until now, it had remained just that: an urban legend. For Dias, the milestone went beyond any contest or record, serving as both a contribution to skateboarding's evolution and a tribute to its heritage. Tony Hawk, regarded as one of the sport's greatest figures, also hailed Dias' achievement. "If you look at the history of skateboarding, it continues to progress. It continues to keep getting better," said Hawk. "We keep pushing the limits of height, of speed. And now Sandro has jumped ahead about five times everyone else. You can go even bigger than we ever imagined." Footage: Red Bull

Call Your Drop Sandro Dias first got eyes on this 20-story quarterpipe in the '80s, but it wasn’t until 2025 when Red Bull was able to get the permits for him to give it a shot. We had to send our dudes Neck, Burndog, Frank and Rye to Porto Alegre so they could witness this world record go down.
