Bradley Smith plans to travel 3,500 kilometres on his electric-powered longboard.
Numb feet are the main worry of a North Saanich man who is attempting to break three Guinness world records by travelling 3,500 kilometres on his electric-powered longboard.
Journey’s end will be near Swartz Bay on the Lochside Regional Trail, which is, along with the Galloping Goose, part of the Trans Canada Trail network that stretches 28,000 kilometres from the Atlantic to the Pacific and the Arctic ocean. “It’s about the size of a mini-sized snowboard fitted with eight-inch pneumatic off-road tires,” Smith said.
Tracking devices fitted to the longboard will ensure he is complying with the rules surrounding the record-breaking attempt.
