Breaking 3 World Records LIVE | GoPro + Record Breakers
Video Overview & Insights
3 world record attempts. One night. Record Breakers is here for unforgettable evening of record-breaking action live from Revel Surf Park in Mesa, Arizona. Thousands will gather for a full-day festival of surfing, skateboarding, BMX, moto, and trophy truck action.
Geez when they came down to the two world records here in Australia ... the first time is it Ipswich raceway where trigger gum only jumped 267 on the night over the big ramp ! ... where they had a little four-wheeler record ramp that was about half the height as the big take off ramp and probably as steep as i suppose and equal of the radius of a freestyle ramp .... 3 weeks later that was dug into the side of a mountain out at Black Duck Valley ride park here in Queensland ... and me and the Bloke that owned or worked at the place we were jumping 240F off of that ramp hitting it at 135 kml which is equivalent I think to about the 75 mile an hour let's just say the takeoff was a bigger impact than the landing was by a long shot ... and when he was practising now a few months back I thought that was the whole basis of it was the distance in all seriousness old mate on that push bike nearly over shadow the whole event
The main event is kicking off at sunset featuring three world-record attempts. Headlining the night, Colby Raha will launch 300 feet over the Revel Surf Pool into the world’s largest moto quarter pipe (30ft) in an attempt to shatter the high-air world record, reaching heights of up to 100 feet. Andrew Topa will attempt the world’s largest BMX flare, while Blake Wilkey and Paul Fisher go head-to-head to see who can jump their trophy truck the furthest. Adding even more to the spectacle, Dennis Enarson will take on the world’s first BMX dirt mini mega ramp. This is an event you don't want to miss.
FOR THE BMX TRICKS BEING TOWED IN ON THE DIRTBIKE RIG UP A TRIGGER FROM A COMPOUND BOW THEN YOU LITERALLY JUST GIVE IT A FLICK WITH YOUR THEMB LIKE AN ATV!! NO SKETCHY TRANSITION FROM ONE HAND TO TWO! GAME CHANGER!!!

Wears the GOAT Travis Pastrana now that did all Evel Kneivels records on back to back on the Indian motorcycle that Evel used and done live back to back to back. The guy keeps on ticking and has more time in him as he's lucky to be alive broken as many bones I think. C'mon man, must mention the best up there with the best of them all. I give him credit to try, this looks like a grind that's hard on skateboard! I couldn't do that!

@TheLaughingLionGoodness shut these guys up

@Chief__86-s9yI'm not trying to belittle the very impressive stunt, but when setting a world-record it is critical to take proper measurements (and use calibrated and proven sensors) to really prove your record.
I'm not seeing the claimed 90 foot height being reached. If the scale on the boom is to be trusted (it should really be proven to be trusted in a behind the scenes video) then you still need to account for perspective. It's very hard to get an accurate perspective optically when using only a scale and video-footage (more reason to use sensors, ideally sensors that are triggered and displayed in real-time to work alongside the video footage). To do an optical record justice you would want many cameras, all at target-heights (for example a camera at 80' 85' 90' 95' 100'), pointed at the scale from a far away distance. That would be the only way to properly eliminate perspective from the equation to the point where the footage can be trusted to display an accurate height achievement.
That said, the most accurate perspective for this jump would be from the drone footage @2:31:25 . In which case, it appears to be 85 feet (the tip of the front wheel at max height), and even then that is only accurate if the drone itself is filming from the exact same height, which I'm guessing isn't the case here. The drone appears to be filming from a slightly shorter height, which could mean it was really 84 feet.
In conclusion: A better job needs to be done to measure world records, and I'd definitely label this 90-foot record as unproven and argue that it was closer to 84 feet based on the evidence provided in this video.
EDIT: GoPro shortened the video and eliminated the drone footage I was referencing. Unfortunately, that footage was the most accurate visual representation of height, and they should share the drone footage (of both jumps) so that people can see it and judge the height for themselves.
Why at these types of events like these do have to have complete idiots as announcers? Its mentally insulting to listen to these burned out idiots just to see these amazing athletes
@randallgdand the crowd forgot why they were there!
@danielbesaw7304If this was a planned event, why did it take so long to see an event?
