Video/Picture Quest

[Mr.42]

Does anyone have a picture or video of the 1982 world record high jump thing? It's like around 5.5 feet high. I haven't been able to find it. It's by Trevor Baxter.

I don't know if it's for ollies or vert, cause Guiness is not too specific about skateboarding. Googling Trevor Baxter returns results about an actor.

Yeah, I saw that page.

It's listed in the 1998 Book of World Records. I don't know... it was probably off a ramp or something. They listed the longest "jump" as Tony Alva's 17 barrell thing. I don't think anyone can actually flatland ollie 5.5 feet or even jump that high at all.
