Wow thats huge. Good luck to him. Hate to think what will happen if he screws up:eek:
No he wont cuz he cant, sounds stupid hey, cuz screwing up isn't an option. Anyone have details of the jump itself?

some thing like 115 feet I think.Can't wait
id say its going to be more than that cause apparently the record atm is 116ft, in which case, if he is going to make the record, it will have to be more than that.

anyway, i hope he makes it, rennie is a sick rider, santa cruz pride!

130ft and he recons he can do it at 70kph, he did his 76ft one at 90kph.

Used to be cool.
Johnny Waddel told me that he'll be doing it in the last week of either this month or the next (i forgot which, he told me but i forgot).

116 foot is his minimum, but he'll want to do it a decent amount larger than that i'd guess.

also, he may post-pone it as the BMX rider who set the 116ft record recently comitted suicide, so he may decide to wait a little while out of respect. or he may not, i don't know.
