The habit gets a new name.
Skateboarding’s latest record-breaker, Maxim Habanec, spent nine whole days trying to grind a rail. He failed 547 times. The 548th time was the charm. Because that’s exactly what you do when you want to break a world record – you try, try again. And again. And again.
The new world record holder’s secret? Not giving up, apparently. Or maybe it’s just Red Bull.
Either way, it’s a reminder that even the most talented athletes have to put in the time (and effort, and patience) to achieve greatness.
And if you’re not willing to eat pavement 547 times, you’re probably not going to make it to the top.
The new world record for longest grind is just another way of saying “I’m willing to look like a total kook for a really long time.”
