CJ Carter, AKA "Diavolo" was a freeriding pioneer who built one of the world's first loop de loops back in 1904. Matt wants to channel his inner Diavolo and turn his biggest, most fantastical dream into a reality - to build the biggest loop de loop the world has seen and then, gasp, to ride it! To turn this vision into a reality, Matt needs your help. Invest in Matt's project and have your name, your brand, your logo stamped on a piece of history!
The ProjectMatt Macduff is about to embark on his most ambitious project ever! Building the world's largest wooden loop de loop (40’ Tall) 12 meters and riding it on his bicycle. This is no easy task… So Matt and his crew, need your help and want you to be involved in the action, every step along the way.
Every piece of this massive structure is up for sale, that means when you support this world record attempt. You'll be able to leave as big or as small as your like, depending on the different creative option of your purchase.
Ultimately you will help create a giant performance art masterpiece for Matt to ride and the world to enjoy. A cycling monument to be remembered forever!

| 13 days in, and I can't believe I'm under 20% away from reaching my goal and making this loop happen! I'm overwhelmed by the messages and support that I've received... I think it's awesome and I can't wait to write all your names and messages on this freestyle masterpiece! Last but not least, I want to say a big thank-you to all of my friends, family, and sponsors who are all helping me make this happen, it's going to be awesome! Matt MacDuff |
| We're super excited to be teaming up with Matt this year and, as with all of his projects, Raise the Loop looks set to be something truly special. We're sure people will feel the same as us and make sure the Kickstarter total is smashed and paves the way for THE riding project of 2016! John Firth at Oneal |
| We are really proud to support the extremely talented rider and our friend, Matt Macduff, in this game-changing project. Getting involved and making dreams a reality is what we believe in and that's exactly what Matt stands for. He became Montreal's Mud Rocker ambassador since day 1, not only through riding but by designing, building and mostly by being an awesome spokesperson! We can't wait to see him roll around the biggest loop of all time. Have fun Matt, you got it! Micah Desforges & Stephane Belanger - Mud Rocker event organizers |
| Everyone here at Five Ten has been a fan of Matt Macduff for some time now. For years, we have seen what Matt is capable of doing on a bike but it was his part in BUILDER that really gave us a chance to see how creative Matt can be with his builds. When Matt came to us with this massive 40-foot Raise The Loop project we were beyond stoked to help Matt make his latest dream become reality. Breaking records and pushing the limits of what is possible is what Five Ten, Brand of the Brave is all about. Five Ten |
Risks and ChallengesThere are many risk's and many challenges in the world of actions sports but few are more experienced and qualified than Matt to handle them.
After the structure is complete a short video will be released, directed by Louis Lhomel, documenting Matt ridding the world record Loop and dedicating the stunt to all who helped him realize his dream… that's you!
| After the project, I'm hoping to use the Loop and the compound at the Trail Park to do some filming for an upcoming web project. With a super Loop as my squirrel catcher, you know it's going to be interesting. Matt MacDuff. |

Not even last year in October when it was the actual future date from the film?
You sir, need to give your head a wobble.
And @samfr1000, I shall give it a wobble soon

Knowing the loop is taller, and has a larger diameter than a "conventional" loop, and won't be as compressive on the entry, and without taking into consideration the increased consequences for falling, do you think this will be easier than the small loop?
Totally serious question.
So the minimum speed at the top is sqrt(gravity*radius) = sqrt(9.81*6.1) = 7.73 m/s = 27.8 km/h = 17.3 mph
But not so easy to determine the speed at the base of the loop, cause of friction etc...
By all means try and crowdfund your trip gingerninja if you think you are cool enough to get the backing of others
i am that cool beardless just not as popular lol.
Matt isn't backed by the massive sponsors that throw money at their big teams (and even then budgets aren't what yo think they are), so good on him for not letting that stop him from pursuing these whacky ideas that entertain all of us.
Never hurts to ask, as long as you ask nicely
All of the PB kids living in their parents basement can neg. prop this, cause it's not cool. They can also PM me for a great investment opportunity I have in some S. Florida real estate.
You want the cliff notes? No one cares. You're on a f*cking mountain bike forum, you know, a sport where a lot of people tend to not give a shit about waving paystubs and portfolios around like a dumb child who got too much for Christmas. This ain't golf. Your assets mean nothing to any of us.
When I first read it, I was like "So is this to raise awareness for a disease or poverty or at least something worthy?"
Alas no.
What a badass description, he happens to be a master of all three things, like, what a strange job application he could write out
Found some stuff on another MTB site Search "World Record 1904 Upside Down Loop Jump"
Would have been cooler if flaming loops were involved; but without helmets and body armor, foam pits these were some badass french dudes.
Wonder where their bikes are?
Good stuff homie.
so why dont they sort it out for him?
bit of a leech if you ask me....
