I'm still happy with my 24 inches over the Boardroom jump box

Besides, he has a much bigger run up

Whilst this is very impressive  and i really dont want to knock it. It does raise a couple of questions for me. The bar is 6.38m above floor level, but the take off looks to be around 2m high and the landing 2.5m high.

Surely the measurement should be taken from the lip of the take off? Still an impressive 4.38m Air But surely not 6.38m?
Else whats to stop me building a 6m high take off and landing and geting 400mm of air to beat the record?

Obviously there was an offical Guiness Adjudicator in the video so im hoping there are some rules or restriction to ramp sizes. I feel like maybe im being a bit Anal but had to ask and maybe someone has some answers?

[hunterdubber]

I reckon he'd piss easy beat my bunny hopping three people laid down record 

[Gashead]

Right, where my milk crate and plank of wood



Awesome !

I think that's a fair question

[Dark Diggler]

Come on Glen.....I think you can do this

[TwoBobRob]

I wouldn't be surprised if they don't go higher than that jumping the gap on the megaramp at x games.

However, let us not forget it's just a publicity stunt for Samsung.

[Darren KAP]

  Lets not forget ,,,, he must have the balls to attempt this ,,,,, i don't 

[TwoBobRob]

Oh, he's deffo got balls. The Fortes are rulers. That's not in doubt. And no, I wouldn't attempt it either...

If you want to break this record, you need to use the same ramp dimensions to meet Guiness rules.

At least it's not the debacle that Kevin Robinson's high air 'record' was

Haven't seen the Kevin Robinson version. Still not convinced that this is a 6.38 metre high, air though   

[Peter J]

What ever the height he's got some minerals even to try it 

[meticulous]

surely how high you can go is equal to how fast you can go as well,  if the run-in ramp was twice as high and you could get another 10mph at the lip surely you would probably get another 1 meter of air, taking into consideration the laws of diminishing returns....

Probably less than you think, more about the pump, I regularly see someone do a 360 tyre tap on a spine, followed by an 8ft air, quite how, I still don't entirely understand
