A perfectly poised pig from Illinois earned a Guinness World Record when he showed off his skateboarding swine skills and took a 33-foot ride in just over 11 seconds.
Norbert the Pig from Buffalo Grove earned the record for the fastest 10 meters pushing a skateboard by a pig, managing the feat in 11.32 seconds.
Vincent Baran, Norbert’s owner, said he discovered the pet pig’s impressive talent when he found his old skateboard.
“I had my board from when I was a kid and figured I’d try him with it,” he said. “I went outside, laid the board down and took out some unsalted peanuts as treats. In about 15 minutes, I had him standing on the board. After a couple more sessions, he was pushing himself down the street.”
Baran said 175-pound Norbert now “looks like a natural on the board” and loves showing off his skills.
“After a handful of sessions, we finally hit the sweet spot and his run went perfectly,” Baran said.
