Bike and sled side-by-side world record attempt on ESPN now.

800cc sled.
both need to hit over 106mph to break the record.

started at 11:00pm-12opm

Did they make it? I'd need more than Red Bull to try something as crazy as that!!!!

 

[CJD3]

Yea. In fact the sled set a new world record of 412 ft. The bike went over 370ft. They jumped "side-by-side" .
Kinda cool. Usual hype leading up to the midnight jump but still cool.

It was kinda lackluster IMO. Still crazy, but it didn't live up to the hype and the camera angles were crap. I thought ESPN dropped the ball on that front. But 412 feet on a sled is UNREAL!!!

 

[CJD3]

Your right Jesse.
Hell of a jump by each of em and my back hurt just watching the landing but the hour before was a waste.

That crazy bastard on the bike that jumped to the roof of the 10 story building last year than back down was wilder! esp. going back down!!! Now that was insane!

Yeah, I wan't real impressed either. I guess we see stuff like this TOO often to realize just how spectacular it really is.
I think it's kinda hard to top Robbie Maddison in 2008-2009...

I just can't imagine the freefall off the building after he was already up there. The landing ramp had to look tiny from way up there.

I agree. There have always been those hillclimbs when dirt biking that you try and try and try. Some of them you finally make it to the top. It is the hill climb you conquer that the other guys don't which feels pretty good as an accomplishment. Those are the scariest ones to descend. I can't imagine the descent for this guy. Looks like the landing was harsh as can be. Suspension bottomed hard. He landed it though! Amazing!

That was impressive Greg....dang!

 

[Huckleberry Finn]

Just watching that makes my balls hide....holy crap that's nuts!
