Dan Mancina Featured in the Guinness World Record 2023 Book
Dan Mancina is stoked to be featured in the Guinness World Record 2023 Book.
Back on January 15, 2022, Mancina claimed the Guinness title for the longest 50-50 grind on a skateboard, 22 feet and 5 inches to be exact.
Mancina hadn’t always been blind. He started skateboarding when he was 13 years old mainly because he wanted to improve his snowboarding skills. Later on, he developed a love for skateboarding.
Around that age, he was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa during a routine eye check-up. It is a rare eye degenerative disease that causes the retinal cells to slowly break down leading to loss of vision. By the time Mancina was 23, he completely lost his eyesight.
Mancina decided to relearn skateboarding and then started “Keep Pushing”, a non-profit that aims to share the skateboarding tradition with the differently-abled community.
