Jason Rennie (no relation to Nathan) has broken Nathan Rennie's distance jump record. The new mark stands in a 133ft (over Nathan's crash-landing-122ft).
NWMTBA Website:
Local two wheel celebrity Jason Rennie by day builds the trails at Llandegla, but is better known by many as the holder of the world record for distance jumps on motorcycle both indoor and out. Jason having gained a great interest in mountain bikes whilst building the trails wondered how far he could get a mountain bike to fly. The answer was announced on the 2 Feb when on a freezing winter day shrouded in low cloud he took a tow from a motorbike at 81 mph and seconds later left the top of a 12 ft high jump to touch back down again safely 133' 6" later.
