        (中考.江西) On22ndJanuary,2007,Dave Comthwaite from the UK became the first person to skateboard across Australia. He made a new world record,by skating a total of 5,823 kilometers. Jack Smith,the previous (前任的) champion,had skated a total of 4,830 kilometers across the US in 2003. Dave9s journey started in Perth and ended in Brisbane traveling about 60 kilometers a day.
