What BBN said about it

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorA Spanish skater named Diego Poncelet has set a new world record for the fastest speed ever reached on a skateboard, and I just want to say, folks, that human beings are wonderful.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorWonderful is one word for it.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThe headline says it made people's palms sweat just watching, which is the correct response to a man lying on a plank going downhill.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorI'm sorry, I'm getting a little emotional. He just wanted to go fast, and he went the fastest anyone ever has.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorFastest ever. So the next one will be faster, and the one after that, and eventually somebody's going to need a longer road.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorAnd a longer hill!

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorSomebody has to walk back up that hill afterward, and I'd like to think it was me.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorHonestly, I'd have done it gladly, with my tea.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorDale, that's beautiful. I'm going to need a minute.
