Charles Reid is on fire this week after winning all the events and taking StyleWars last week he is now the new holder of a World Record. At the Boost Snow Show at Perisher Mtn in Australia one of the events was the longest rail ride in the world. Each rider got two tries to see who could make the farthest on what had to be the longest rail ever built. On his first attempt Charles locked in and did a 177 foot 50-50 which was not topped during the night. So Charles Reid will now be placed in the Guinness Book of World records for longest rail ride on a snowboard, and is 5,000 dollars richer. Chris Sörman of Sweden took 2nd place in the jump event behind Chaz Guldemond. There was a 45 minute jam session where riders did whatever they wanted and then the top six were taken into the final. For the finals there was a huge wheel with tricks listed on it and whatever trick it landed on each rider had to do. With each trick landed they were given a letter and the first person to spell Boost won the event. Sörman started out the night with a huge front 10 indy and had the lead for a while till he touched his ass down a bit on a backflip. Chris still won the TTR section of the contest and walked away with 5,000 for having the most TTR points. (burton.com)
