Martin Sweeney was the UK’s finest slalom racer and an exponent in tight slalom. In the early 1980s he could regularly be seen skating 4 foot courses at London’s Southbank and Hyde Park.
Sweeney is best remembered for setting the original, Guinness certified World 100 cone record at Brands Hatch in 1991. A record he held for many years to come. The record run was filmed as part of BBC TV’s Record Breakers series hosted by Roy Castle, as featured in the clip.
