Stuntman breaks record for bike jump – twice

AN American motorcycle stuntman twice broke the world record for the longest distance jumped on a Harley-Davidson motorcycle yesterday, sailing through the air near Sydney Harbour to shatter the 10-year-old record.

Seth Enslow flew to a distance of 56 metres (183.7 feet) on his Harley-Davidson XR1200 shortly after a 53.34m jump.

The cameras were not ready for the astonishing first attempt so Enslow waited for the thumbs up and returned to the ramp for a second shot.
