Like many snowboarders from the IE (aka 909) San Bernardino paramedic Jason Buchanan dreamed of being towed behind a snowmobile at 100 MPH, but those dreams died last weekend due to problems with the Mammoth Lakes speed run, according to a story in the Daily Bulletin.
He originally planned on pulling off the record at 100 mph, but due to rough terrain, the snowmobile was only able to travel at 61 mph. . . The world record was based on the distance, so he still qualifies for the world record book, Buchanan said.
What shouldn’t be surprising to anyone is that this wacky world record grab was staged for a charity to “encourage people to donate equipment for winter sports” to needy children.

Pretty sure you could make or beat 61 mph by simply straight lining Cornice Bowl. 909ers just like vibrating toys…
