A new world record has been set for the furthest distance jumped on a motorbike.

Ryan Capes, who goes by the name of "The One", launched from a ramp and jumped 310 feet, breaking the record by 33 feet.

The One? Did it on his 959 Fireblade didn't he? Good to see he's out of A&E after Blakamin fixed him up.

Wahoo! Go the CR!! His would have had a bit more done to it than mine, and he's probably a better rider too, the bastard.
