Congratulations to Kanaan Dern who now holds the world record for the longest grind on a round rail after sliding an incredible 230 feet and 1/2 inch on a purpose built feature at Bam Margera’s residence known as Castle Bam in West Chester, PA.
It took several attempts and some high speed wipeouts to conquer the massive rail which was imbedded into hill next to the Bam’s highly recognizable house that was heavily featured in the MTV’s Jackass spin-off series Viva La Bam (2003–2005). Bam was on hand for the proceedings and was rolling on the ground in celebration after the successful attempt on June 8th 2026 at 7:13pm local time.
Great to see Margera looking healthier and happier than he has in years after a long and public battle with addiction. He has fully embraced a renewed dedication to sobriety and has reconnected with the first love of his life: skateboarding. Bam is now back on his board and the future is looking extremely bright.
