[P=http://www.igorobu.com/image/home/schanze/schanze1.jpg size=m align=c]http://www.igorobu.com/image/home/schanze/schanze1.jpg[/P] 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.... [PV=11230]
Man, I grew up there.... It's Garmisch-Partenkirchen in Germany. They've hosted the Olympic Games there and that ski jump was built for the games.F***ing crazy!
