Jesper Tjäder is the best in the world.
He entered the history books when he hit the world’s longest railway.
“I had a lot of bad attempts all day, but I knew it would happen eventually,” says Tjäder.
It took three days and 127 attempts before that Jesper Tjadder I managed.
In the end, the 28-year-old Swede managed to call himself the world record holder with the longest “railway” in the world on skates.
A rail was about to slide as far as possible on a metal railing and when Tjäder slid 154.49 meters in Åre, it meant a world record certified by Guinness World Records.
Being a Guinness World Record holder is an amazing feeling, and it’s something you’ve been dreaming about since you were a kid. I knew this rail was going to be a tough challenge and expected it would require 525 tries, but it went much smoother than I thought, says Tjäder in a press release.
Jesper Tjäder broke the world record
American Tom Wallich set the previous world record of 130 metres.
– I’ve done a lot of tricks on rails before, but I’ve never been close to such a long rail. It was a good feeling leaving the railroad, I had many bad attempts throughout the day but I knew it was going to happen eventually. And once that happened, it was a great feeling, Tedder says.
Jesper Tjäder also took a historic Swedish slash bronze at last winter’s Olympic Games.
– I’ve been training for this for eight years, it’s totally indescribable that I gave my best in an Olympic final. This is clearly the best thing about my career, Tedder said then.
