:yikes:

"Record New Years Eve Jump
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.

The feat, obliterating the previous Guinness World Record of 277 feet by Trigger Gumm, drew rave reviews in motoring circles."

...and then the rest of us got up, went to work and led normal lives.

I never understood the fascination with jumping (insert vehicle here). I see cool jumps all the time in the WRC - I guess I'm jaded.

The jump looked every other. The jump back down impresses me.

That was an awesome landing, on the way down that is! I was not expecting him to go back down...
