February 6th 2000, Reese Forbes Ollie Challenge

Danny Wainwright holds the World Record for highest Ollie.

Danny popped a whopping 44.5 inch (113 cm) behemoth of a floater at the Action Sports Retail Tradeshow Reese Forbes Ollie Challenge, beating Reese Forbes and pocketing a cool $10000.

Since this event took place, egos have been bruised, a switchstance ollie challenge (Alex Bland 40.5 inches) has been held, imposters have beed spotted, and challengers are spotted on the horizon.

In any case, history was made and Danny Wainwright etched his name in skateboard history.
