Blood Wizard Skateboards pro skateboarder Kyle Walsh may have just claimed the longest grind world record, but another skateboarder is already getting ready to challenge it.
As we previously reported, Kyle surpassed Red Bull's Maxim Habanec, who landed a 78 meter grind, and Zero Skateboards pro skater Kanaan Dern, who reclaimed the record with a 78.16 meter grind.

Kyle later announced that he had completed a 300 foot grind, putting himself at the top of the list.
Now there is a new challenger.
YouTube skater Garrett Ginner revealed that he is building a massive rail with one goal in mind, taking down Kyle's longest grind record.
According to Garrett, he wanted to put both his fabrication skills and skateboarding skills to the test.
After locking in the location and gathering the materials, he and his crew got to work building what could become one of the biggest skateboarding rails ever made.
Unlike Maxim's project, which had backing from Red Bull, Garrett said this build is completely self funded.
Even without corporate support, Garrett and his homies came together to make the project happen.
Building a rail this size was not cheap, but everyone pulled up to help bring the idea to life.
Garrett shared that the project took 56 and a half hours of labor along with $3,968.24 in materials. That is nearly $4,000 out of his own pocket, so you already know he is serious about taking the record. Huge props to Garrett.
After all that work, the rail is finally complete.
Now comes the hardest part.
Garrett still has to skate it.
He admitted that landing a grind this long will not be easy and could take weeks or even months of attempts.
Even so, he plans to keep filming until he finds out if it can be done.
Garrett also said that the rail is well over the length of a football field and, to the best of his knowledge, is the longest non street rail ever built for skateboarding.
He is not even sure if landing the trick is realistic, but after spending so much time and money on the project, he is committed to giving it everything he has.
No matter what happens, Garrett said he is already proud of what he and his crew accomplished.
As he put it, at the very least, "I'm proud of myself for creating this rail."
Now all eyes are on Garrett to see if he can take down Kyle Walsh's 300 foot longest grind record.
