When trying for a world record... expect to crash. A lot.



Johannes Fischbach wanted to make the world's longest jump with a mountain bike off a 140-metre ski jump

Some years ago Fischi already made test jumps from an 85 meter ski jump and reached a distance of 50 meters.

Why didn't he have some EMT's at the bottom?

So you jump your motorcycle onto a building... big deal. Want to impress me? Jump off it... and he did!

Robbie Maddison, who has taken over the informal motorcycle jumping crown that Evel Knievel once held, leaped a world-record 322 feet, seven inches in Las Vegas on New Years Eve.


Thanks Mike!
