That is a wicked jump. Shame that it's recorded at such an awkward angle.

Are ramp to ramp jump heights recorded as the distance from the ground? Because if so this seems fairly pointless as I just need to make a ramp 317ft high and jump across an air gap of a bike length to beat the record... Confused

I was convinced he had messed up the ended judging by the noise that thing made when it hit the other ramp! Heart was in my mouth. It's a shame there isn't any closer up footage of that moment, it was epic!

That's just crazy. Something i could never do.
I'd keep thinking what would happen if i missed the other ramp by an inch.. lol

The second one too where he goes back down. No chance!
They'd be needing shovels to pick me up if i missed.

Probably not, it's a much larger and heavier bike. Harder to balance and control. Has the wrong suspension too.
