    Default Rennie's distance record beaten!

    By some other dude called Rennie - see article below...

    February 03, 2006
    WORLDS LONGEST BIKE JUMP TEASER

    Well here it is, it’s all we can offer up at the moment. Yesterday Jason Rennie set a new distance world record for jumping a bicycle at 134 feet and 6 inches riding a Kona Stab Supreme. In freezing temperatures a select crowd gathered at the Coed Llandegla bike centre in North Wales and watched Jason comfortably blow away the current record of 116’ 8”, which has been held for the last few years by BMXer Colin Winkleman. It was a show of pure professionalism and precise bike handling. You’ll just have to buy the next issue of Dirt for the full story and photos.

    By the way, he was being towed in at 80mph seconds before this shot was taken!

    Jason Rennie beat Nathan Rennie's record....Wow, Must be a rennie thing to go big?

    If Rennie jumped further than Rennie does that mean that Rennie will then try and beat Rennie again?

    That's a long way.....A very very long way, and in slippery conditions, That guy has baawwwlssss of steel.

    Props to Rennie for standing up and beating Rennies record....
