World Record for a Motorcycle Jump Broken… Again

Was it only December 31 of last year when Robbie Maddison “smashed” the world distance record for a motorcycle jump? That 322-foot jump eclipsed the unofficial record of 310 feet set by Ryan Capes. Then on a special event held by the Crusty Demons in Australia in March Capes briefly retook the record with a 324-foot jump before Maddison did him one better by reaching nearly 352 feet. Apparently he’s gone further but that was the last recorded record.

Still following me?

Now word comes that on June 21 a rider named “Bird” smashed that record by making a huge jump in California of more than 394 feet. Unlike the last records, this one doesn’t seem to have been witnessed by the Guinness folks so we’ll see if it holds up, but it will be on the upcoming DVD “On the Pipe 5′” from Powerband Films.

But you can still see this huge jump for yourself below…
