One Lift Ticket or Two?

11 January 2008 43 Comments

Two men from Jackson Hole, Wyoming have set a Guinness World Record for the longest snowboard.

“When Butch Brady first assembled his one-of-a-kind tandem snowboard, he was only looking for a creative way to have some fun on a spring day. That concept that began as a lark has now earned Brady and fellow snowboarder Eric Sweet a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records. On Dec. 20, the pair dragged the 9-foot, 7- inch snowboard halfway up the Teewinot run at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort and linked nine turns in front of a television cameraman.”

“Together with his boss Brian Wood, Brady mounted two snowboards together lengthwise with a 6-inch overlap, screwing the rear board on top of the front board with eight bolts. After practicing with several different partners, Brady was able to figure out a good technique for riding the board, with the rear rider weighting each turn a second or two after the front rider, or navigator. Brady has experimented with taking his contraption through moguls and even tackled small jumps, but admits that low-angle slopes are best for riding the creation.”

“‘It could be a teaching tool and anyone who’s reluctant to snowboard, especially if you constructed a triple, because a person could get in between two instructors,’ said Sweet.”

“Easily recognizable thanks to the buffalo coat and fur hat he wears while riding at the Mountain Resort, Sweet was eager to try riding the board after Brady told him about it…Brady also donned a buffalo coat from the pair’s new sponsor, Mill Valley Sheepskin and Leather, and the two made it all the way down the hill on their third attempt.”
