Simply awesome, the speed, and distance amazing. This guy is the real deal.
I was hoping to break the old 277.5 ft, by Trigger Gumm, now the record is 322ft!! Anyone know if that CR he rides is a 250 of AF500? Sounds like a 250 to me...

she's a 500 james,
theres a brief interview with him on the racer-x website done before the jump and he stated he was regularly practising 270ft.
when asked why not a 450 thumper, he said he just felt more comfortable on a 2 stroke and the 500 was the obvious choice.
pretty amazing jump hey!

Just watched the youtube version, how long is he in the air on the helmet cam shot, should have taken a cut lunch and water bag.
I'm not much of a freestyle fan, but I'll take my hat off to that.
