Record Breakers

So I got to wondering: What are the records for rails and jumps? Does anyone know the recordbreaker for any of these catergories below?


-Longest Jump (with a trick so ski jumping is eliminated)

-Highest Jump (Kicker, QP, halfpipe)

-Highest Cliff ever jumped (and skiied out of, no parachutes allowed)

-Longest railslide

-Most kinks completed in a railslide

-Largest Step Up (feet in height from takeoff to landing)


So if anyone knows any of these (and perferably can back them up using video footage, either on a website or in a movie somewhere) and the riders who hold the records, post it here.

Oh shit, there it goes....

All these skier kids want to see nowadays is big air. You want to see some big air? Pull my finger...

Doesn't Glen Plake hold the record for the biggest freefall off of a cliff? I remember hearing about someone else trying to beat his record and meeting death.

longest rail ive heard is 100ft at copper. highest jump is like 146ft. i don't know who, where, or when. i think that candide's corked 5 tail over the 100 ft hip in happy days was hude. so was CR's bio9 few years back. it was over 100. but im going to kill the rail record this year. it's actually a cement wall that's GOT to be like 200 ft.

My mom: 'would you jump a cliff if someone told you to?'
Me: 'i guess not. i'd have jumped off before they told be too!'

fucking 666 foot rail, i give that guy mad props cause long rails are so hard, never tried one on roller blades but skis anything over like 30 feet your mind gets the best of you...

In i think November's Powder issue they had an interview with Jamie Pierre from Alta, UT. He's done a 175-fter in the wasatch, and it also mentioned somethign about a swiss guy landing a 225-fter. Theres been a few over 300 attempts and they've all died.
