Quebec – October 19, 2026 -- Diego Poncelet Sanchez-Cuenca has ridden a downhill skateboard at 94.34 mph (151.83 km/h), making the 27-year-old from Spain and Switzerland the fastest downhill skateboarder in history. The run took place on Route du Port in Les Éboulements, Quebec, on the same slope where the previous Guinness World Record was set nine years ago.

Poncelet beat a 2017 mark of 91.17 mph

On the afternoon of Sept. 22, with a Guinness judge watching, the two-time World Champion passed the 2017 record of 91.17 mph (143.73 km/h). That mark belonged to his late friend Pete Connolly of England, who also rode on Seismic Skate Systems wheels. Red Bull filmed the run and published the video on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube on Oct. 15, 2026.

Many elite downhill skaters had considered 150 km/h out of reach. Guinness World Records adjudicator Andrew Glass called the run "one of the most impressive feats I have ever seen."

More than 400 teams from more than 35 states and 14 countries competed October 15-18 for a share of a prize purse of more than $400,000.

Hermon, Maine – October 19, 2026 -- Foggy Mountain®, the Maine-made outdoor brand that began with homemade cover scent handed out in mayonnaise jars, is marking its 45th anniversary with a product range that now covers hunting scents, insect repellents, and hats.

A Maine guide mixed the first scent in 1981

The brand dates to 1981, when Maine Master Guide Wayne A. Bosowicz of Foggy Mountain Guide Service introduced ProCover, a cover scent built for the hunters who traveled to Maine to hunt with him. Bosowicz recalled that 20 hunters would arrive with 20 different bottles of scents and lures, and most of them did not work. His team mixed its own blend and gave it to clients in mayonnaise jars before it even had a name. Hunters kept asking for more, so the guide service began selling it.
