The Guy is called Igor Obu, he is from Germany. He flew more than 42 Meters (138 Feet)! This Record was set in 1999 at the Olympic ski-jumpers 80m jump.

Actually, he trained 3 Months on the smaller jump and did 36 training jumps on this huge jump, not falling off his bike a single time (at least, that's what the homepage tells us).

The speed at take-off was 85km/h (53mph), top-speed after landing was 112km/h (70mph)!


Below is the video of Igor on the slope....
