SNO!zone Milton Keynes hosted an awesome World Record breaking evening which saw one young snowboarder make his way into the Guinness record books.

Huge success
The Whitelines and EA Sports Rail Jam was hosted at SNO!Zone’s indoor slope in Milton Keynes and was a huge success.

Calum Paton, 17, managed to make his way into the Guinness Book of Records when he smashed the world record for the longest ever rail slide. He managed to slide an impressive 78 metres which beat the previous record by over 10 metres.

Damian Doyle, the event organiser at SNO!zone, told the Milton Keynes Citizen , “It was a great night and I’m so happy that Calum broke the record. Snowboarders from across the country attempted to break the record of 66.9 metres on our 90-metre specially built rail and it was amazing to bring the world record back to the UK.

“It was an epic night and SNO!zone is extremely proud to be a part of making history.”

Record breaker Calum also spoke to the Citizen saying: “I’m so stoked, I wasn’t expecting to do it at all. It feels so surreal that I actually hold a world record.”

Calum was not only crowned a record breaker on the night, but he was also awarded with £1,000 in cash for his efforts and 10 other snowboarders were also winners after impressing the judges with their freestyle skills.

Ed Blomfield, the editor of Whitelines spoke to the Citizen saying, “We’re so stoked Calum broke the record. It’s great both for him and for British snowboarding as a whole. We knew that with our thriving indoor scene the UK had some world-class rail riders, and this gave us a great opportunity to prove that.

“Thanks to everyone who helped make it happen, and nice one Calum.”
