Mahé Freydier hit 75mph (121km/hr) on Toro Mata, a Peruvian sand dune with an almost 6,000-foot vertical drop.
The 23-year outdated French ski teacher beat the report held by Henrik Could, who hit 57.24 miles per hour within the Namibian desert in 2010.
“I solely acquired one strive as a result of my skis burned up, so it was unattainable for me to strive once more,” mentioned Freydier after his success final month.
“That makes this report much more particular, as a result of it was in the course of the first run.
“Above 100 km/h, it turned very tough to take care of velocity, because the wind destabilized me significantly, and falling on sand might be very harmful.
The stress inside me was intense.”
