  1. The first day of the NZ Uni weekend was a roaring success and one of the
    highlights was Pete VB setting a new world long jump record.

    He jumped a massive 2.80m under standard competition conditions (using
    the two stick measurement method).

    Several people captured it on video so hopefully after the weekend
    someone will post the footage.

    For those who know the NZ riders:

    High jump
    1st Pete VB (90cm)
    2nd Danny Peters (85cm)
    3rd= Joe Dyson (80cm)
    3rd= Nick Petrinko (80cm)

    Long jump
    1st Pete VB (2.80m)
    2nd = Nick Shaw (2.30m)
    2nd = Joe Dyson (2.30m)

  4. Yeah, really great!

    About the high jump: didn't Ryan Atkins jump 107 cm? Or is it a
    different kind of jump?

    That wasn't official. But it was also SIF into a ledge.

    Officially, it has to be done up and over a bar, and he was able to get
    90cm, just under a meter.

  7. That's fantastic, congratulations Peter! It's really nice knowing that
    the world's best long jumper is such a nice and humble guy...don't ever
    change that.

    Na, Ryan Atkins jumped 98cm over the bar at unicon 13. Anyway pretty
    close to a meter.

    Did I enter the information from Pete and the competition correctly?

    Ride On

  9. Pfff. Of course he's good, but what's interesting is the neck and neck
    battles for third and second place. Now those would make good movies.

    Seriously though good job.

    Then why does it say Pete VB is first in high jump(90cm), when Ryan
    Atkins did 98? I'm confused.
