It's a purely flat gap, and as they said above, I ride a KH05 20" with
profiles.

There's a spot in the same garden that's a bit longer (maybe another
5-10cm) so i'll have a crack at that tomorrow, weather permitting.

I know that the world record (official) was 2.65m, so is there anyone
out there who has got further?

eyewitness account: he would've made it (and then we could've kept
riding) if he'd jumped from the edge like I told him to :p

Moritz Hahn from Germany, Bottrop is currently holding the world record
with 2.60m, and set up this record last june. Inofficial Mo also has
landed 2.65m. Don't know what he is jumping at the moment. As the years
goes by, Mo has put on ~20cm every year, so don't know what he is going
now. David Weichenberger from Austria is also jumping really long with
2.55 last june (so he holds the world record for hmm 30 minutes 😄).

So, well done. Pretty cool that there are others jumping longer. Go for
the 3m!!!

Ride on

I can rolling hop 2m20, but on flat ground and with more than a try. So
i would be way too scared to try some 2m30 gap (or even 2m10).

Manu

Haha, that's exactly right. I mean, I can't hype everyone up and then
back out now can I?

you got a good setup for gaps... rolling hops without a CF base usually
ends up in disaster and breakage for me. i have done a 8ft flat gap
(243cm), but you are talking about 9' 5''... thats sweet dude. 10ft
will be soon i guess

There are people on my school's track and field team who can't even do a
long jump on(off) foot that far, ahaha.

Yeah same here, i've broken a ton of gear that wasn't strong enough.
Quite funny, because before the 287, my biggest gap was 225 😄
