Ollie Pop Riders find Guinness World Records that were meant to be POP'd!

Very few folks are fortunate enough to accomplish something beyond anything imagineable so much so that the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS puts a certificate together... At Ollie Pop we haven't done much of anything like that. BUT!!! not a BIG BUTT, but more of a "huge however" but, we are very lucky to be associated and represented by a couple of young men who have gone "BUZZ LIGHTYEAR" and beyond to be recognized by Guinness Book of World Records.

For starters there is Zach Kral who skates out of Wisconsin for Phenom Skateboards. He not only has the Guinness World Record for most consecutive kickflips of 1546 that he turned in 2008 at 4Seasons skatepark; he also jammed out 29 kickflips in a minute back on May 15, 2010 to shatter the old Guiness World Record of 23!

Then this past week at X Fest during X GAMES 16 the Guiness folks unveiled GWR LIVE where Alex Sorgente who rides Globe/BLIND out of South Florida pulled a double Guinness World Record performance on the 30 second format! Alex pulled both 15 frontside boneless and 15 axle stalls, each set of tricks in just 30 seconds!

Big props to a couple youngsters having fun at World Record levels! Thanks to both Zach, Alex, their families and sponsors for their continued support. And as always remember to GRIND SOME!
