Kevin Robinson World Record Attempt

that sounds like it could be quite the achievement. its either fame or death. i dont think its worth it personally. it would be cool for like a month then everybody will just forget about it. so id say just screw it and keep doing what he is doing.

he was practicing in a town like 30 miles north of me last week. i wish i had know then because it would have been sick to see.

wow thats seems scary. good luck dude.

Thats sick, I might go over and check it out.

In the heart of New York City on Thursday, June 12 live at 8 p.m. ET, BMX legend Kevin Robinson will attempt to soar into the world record books by clearing the height of a six-story building on a BMX bike. The winner of seven X Games medals, including three gold, Robinson will make his attempt on a first of its kind 27-foot super quarter-pipe with a 60- foot high roll in. The current record of 26 ½ feet is held by BMX pioneer Mat Hoffman. Hoffman first set the record in 1992 by being towed into a 21-foot-high ramp and aired 23 feet above the ramp – putting him 44 feet above the ground. Hoffman has since improved on that record several times where the current mark stands at 26 ½ feet above a 24-foot ramp.


"I've always been attracted to big ramps," says Robinson, 36, who won gold last year in the Big Air competition at X Games. Robinson’s dedicating the attempt to Hoffman, the godfather of BMX stunt jumping. "I'm keeping it in the family," he says. Robinson has been sponsored by Hoffman Bikes for 15 years

wow, thats rediculous. I have so much respect for guys who BMX it seems so hard and the falls look nasty.
Hopefully he sticks this without getting hurt
