Seth Enslow sets record for longest Harley jump
A US motorcycle daredevil has set a new world record for the longest jump on a Harley-Davidson… twice in one morning.
Seth Enslow started the day by taking his Harley-Davidson XR1200 on a death-defying 175ft (53.34m) leap - beating the current world record set by Bubba Blackwell in 1999.
But minutes later - and because some journalist had missed his leap - he gave it another go, adding a further 8.7 feet (2.6m) to his distance, taking the record to 183.7ft (56m).
While the overall record for a motorbike jump stands at 346ft (107m) by Robbie Maddison, that was on a much lighter bike than a hefty Harley-Davidson.
Speaking after the event Seth said: "This is awesome, I’m stoked" … Yes, the jump certainly was better than his speech.
