An adrenaline junkie has taken in-line skating to new heights and set a new world record after racing down a roller coaster at speeds of 56mph.


Dirk Auer decided to go where no sane man or woman had gone before and skated down an 860 metre track in just over a minute.


Wearing specially designed in-line skates, the German made the attempt on the Mammoth roller coaster at the Trips Drill theme park in Stuttgart.
