Jen Stewart, the owner of Jen’s Deli in Wilmington, Ohio has just purchased the world largest skateboard from the creators of the board in Bay de Noc Community College.
The huge skateboard, a product of an engineering class project, is recognized as the world’s largest skateboard in the 2009 edition of the “Guinness Book of World Records.” In order to qualify to be in the book, a “Big Wheel” skateboard has to be operational just like a normal skateboard. . . . “There’s no motors, no brakes, and it moves side to side. It has a 50-foot turning radius. Takes 12 people to ride,” an elated Stewart said Thursday after her first time on board.
She said she’s going to use it for parades and special events, and maybe breaking a few more records with it.
