US daredevil Seth Enslow jumped a world record distance on a Harley-Davidson motorbike not once, but twice, on Tuesday after media missed the first death-defying leap.
The freestyle motocross star broke Bubba Blackwell’s 11-year record by soaring 175 feet (53.3 metres) near Sydney’s famed harbour, and then went back and jumped 183.7 feet for the assembled cameras. AFP
“This is awesome! I’m stoked!” Enslow said after entering the record books.
The heavily tattooed stuntman, a star of the Crusty Demons motorbike troupe, held his crotch and grimaced after landing “awkwardly” on the second jump, but did not suffer any serious injury, a spokeswoman said.
“I think it’s just the way he landed but it’s nothing too drastic, as far as I’m aware,” she said.
Enslow has a reputation for eventful world record attempts. When he tried to break the overall distance record back in 1999, riding a custom-made Honda bike, he overshot his landing ramp and smashed his head against the handlebars of his bike, crushing his eye socket. Times Online
