The Warm-down
Cycling from Auckland to Christchurch in New Zealand
From October 15th until November 5th 2008, I will be cycling 700km from Auckland to Christchurch in New Zealand.
Leg Three – China
Skateboarding Around The World
From April until September 2008, I skateboarded 5,000km across China. It took way longer than it should have because of crazy Chinese bureaucracy during the 2008 Beijing Olympic games. Half way through I even had to take a train all the way to Hong Kong to get a new visa, and return back to where I had stopped.
Leg Two – United States of America
Skateboarding Around The World
From December 2006 until April 2007 I skateboarded 4,500km across the US of A. Deep in the desert of New Mexico on Interstate 10 I surpassed the Guinness World Record for the Longest Journey by Skateboard.
Leg One point Five – Atlantic Ocean
Skateboarding Around The World
No, I did not skateboard around and around the deck of the boat. But I did sail across the Atlantic from the Canary Islands to Key West, Florida, USA. Well, I helped out on a sailboat that was sailing across. Took 28 days from the Canaries to the Caribbean. It took much longer to find a ride from the Caribbean to Key West in Florida, but made it there in the end.
Leg One – Eruope
Skateboarding Around The World
From July 2007 until August 2007 I skated 1,500km through Europe from Switzerland to England via Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands.

Hy,
I have a question….Where did you start with the Skateboard? In Switzerland in Waadt? It`s for a presentation in School;-)
Hi Jasmin, thanks for the question. I started in Leysin, here. I was working at an outdoor education camp there before I started the trip. You can see some other details on the Guinness World Record page here.
This is really interesting as I am looking into doing a similar thing in some places in Asia but don’t know where to start. How did you find the route you did in Korea? Also, how what avenues did you go through to research? Thank so much, this is very inspiring, keep it up
