Now the world will be astonished once more, as three modern day Evel Knievel‰Ûªs attempt to take his feat to a whole new level and conquer the phenomenal distance of 300 feet.
America‰Ûªs Seth Enslow, Ryan Capes and Australia‰Ûªs Robbie Maddison share the fierce obsession and passion to claim this extreme sports accolade as their own. This will now become a reality for one of them, as the trio will battle it out for the world‰Ûªs most death defying Guinness World Record when Rockstar Energy Drink presents the Crusty Demons Night of World Records at Calder Park Raceway on Saturday 29 March 2008.
At the first Crusty Demons Night of World Records in 2005, Trigger Gum set the official world record for the longest jump on a two-wheeled motorcycle with a staggering jump of 277 feet. In March that record is set to be smashed with Ryan Capes already unofficially eclipsing this figure and Enslow and Maddison stating their intentions to take their place in history.
Six months out from the event the form guide is almost even, but with more than 20 years experience to his credit, America‰Ûªs wild boy of freestyle motocross, Enslow, has a slight advantage over compatriot Capes and the showman of Australian freestyle motocross, Maddison.
‰ÛÏThis is probably my last chance to claim the world record, I‰Ûªm ready for this. I‰Ûªm coming to Australia to put my body and life on the line, it‰Ûªs my time,‰Û
