Long boring intro in this video, skip to the jump @ 2:20. Wow...



Beats my longest by about 200 ft.  ;D

That's nothing.
Here's impressive err (not air) on a Sherco.

At 2.50 for the impatient.

Impressively smooth landing.  For perspective, Evil Kneivel's longest jump ever was 141 feet, in which he crash landed and broke about a bazillion bones.

Guess an XR750 isn't suspended as well  8)

crazy times, I think it was Travis Pastrana that jumped the fountain at Ceasars palace (with a backflip). the same jump that almost killed EK.

It really is amazing how far we've come in technology that makes some of the ridiculous stunts of the past, far more possible. It did take huge kahunas to straddle a HD with a few minor mods and do what Evil did. That or loads of drugs and alcohol.

For world record stunts... sometimes it takes state of the art technology... sometimes it takes Huge Kahunas... sometimes it just takes a lot of determination and a really stupid idea. One of my high school buddies holds the Guinness world record for driving backwards.   ;D

He also tried to set the world record for longest jump in a car, that attempt did not go as well.
