It must be something to do with the name. First we had Nathan Rennie going for the World Record for the longest distance jumped on a mountain bike - he flew 121 feet in the Australian desert, but landed near the bottom of the exit ramp, separated his shoulder, grazed and bruised most of himself and smashed his helmet into many pieces.
