World Record- Longest unicycle grind by Alex Toms
I got hold of this video and downloaded it from another site and uploaded it to youtube. It's a video of Alex Toms officially completeing a 2.76m grind for the world record. (I think some of you experienced riders here can do more than that!)

Didn't some one do a longer grind on Defect? It was on a wooden rail.

The rail in defect was bigger but wasn't a wooden rail lol... But I guess the rail in defect wasn't "guinness world record official". But who cares, unofficial world records are always better then official records. It a nice rail, but its silly making people think that its a WORLD RECORD, when really its just a "Guinness world record". But yeah, cool to see this made it to TV.

I mean that one guy did a grind for 100 yd. its funny to me that she said that he broke the world record, but no one had ever attempted that before

But i'm sure the longest grind would just be some random guy messing around on a waxed, sloped, flat ledge. As for the longest handrail grind. I don't think anyone has gone bigger then a 15. But if people had nice rails that were bigger then 15, I'm sure they'd try them. I know I would. (Yes the rail in defect was a 15)

I've heard rumors of a french guy called Bigtouf who grinded a 25 set. Enzo was telling me about it and they mention it in Switch 3. Apparently they didn't film it so you can believe it if you want

Yeah there have obviously been bigger handrail grinds than this. If I remember right this is a 10 set. I'm sure lots of people could do 20+ sets if the rail wasn't too steep. And grinding a ledge would be really easy to grind further than this. You could almost grind forever lol. So did he also set the record for biggest drop? |
