thats a reallylong jump, I believe it, but is there a better video that
shows the actual takeoff and landing points? that video is a little
crappy...

That was huge! He cleared the landing stick by a lot to.

How exactly do the official rules work, is it 290cm from the takeoff
line to the landing line? Because if it is it looked like he went way
farther then that.

Wow! He must've lined up perfectly right at the start line (just prior
to the jump), in order to get the take off so precise! Fantastic!😄 I
wonder how many attempts riders got to break the record? My guess is
three.

i believe its set up like athletics, the sticks are set 2.9m apart and
if you clear them you get 2.9, regardless of how much further you got.
I'm surprised he didn't go further, looks like he could have cleared
3m.

That's one hell of a clearance!

And I love how people sound when they cheer in slow-motion.

Did he rack himself? He looks in pain after the jump. Great jump though.

Grats Rocco! You should be very proud of your achievement. I wish you
luck and stronger performances later to push the edge of our sport even
more in the future.

Now we got to get skrobo pimped up to try get the title for the pride
of America. It would be a great match to see.

???????
the video that loaded the first time was only the top half of what i
saw the second time, i guess it was a glitch, but i just saw the top
half of the wheel.

The 2008 Guinness Book of Records lists David Weichenberger with a jump
of 2.95m I think. Don't know if that followed IUF rules though.

The distance is measured from the front of the first stick to the rear
of the second. It looked to me to be almost as optimal a jump as you
can get. If he was 1cm later launching the front stick would have
moved and there wasn't much room to spare at the other end either
(possibly 5cm?)

Note that to clear the rear stick requires you landing quite a bit
forward of the stick as the tyre compression on landing is so great.
Watch the video closely and you will see that although the axle is well
forward of the rear stick, the contact patch of the tyre is massive
(about 50cm) so your axle needs to be about 25cm to 30cm forward of the
stick when landing.

not proven on video, but yes (the one i did on video is 2.937m or
something like that...7cm isn't much farther...)
i don't know if i can jump as far as he did, that was at least 10 feet.
2.9m is 9'7" or something like that, he cleared that by a foot...
yeah...

Ok so all this chatter about longjumps, which are awesome, but let's get
some expert advice on HOW to accomplish long rolling hops. Like
methodology and such.
