So in front of 1,500 kids I did my first skateboard demonstration—it was just a kick turn, but skateboarding was new then and nobody else knew many tricks then anyway.While on the Cooley Team, and standing on a Bun Buster, McGee set the world record for the fastest woman on a skateboard at 47 miles per hour (76 km/h) during Dick Clark's World Teen Fair 1964, held at the Orange County Fair Grounds in California.
