Bicycle Ramp-to-Ramp World Record Jump — 2006
   
On February 2, 2006 Jason Rennie shattered the bicycle jumping record by leaping his bicycle 133 feet 6 inches over a 106 foot ramp gap. The previous record was held by Colon Winkleman who jumped 116 feet. Jason used a Kona downhill mountain bike for the record jump. The crazy part was the towing speed, 83 mph at the point where he detached from the motorcycle on a loose gravel road. The jump took place at the Llandegla Mountain Bike Center in North Wales. Jason's team mate Jim McBain pulled Jason with a motocross bike. (Thank you Jason Rennie for the photo supplies! Photography: Ben Gaby Paligap LTD)
  
Jason was using his 12ft tall motorcycle jump ramp. His landing ramp was 8ft wide. Jim and Jason celebrating!
