Title: Record Motorcycle Jump
Post by: Johnniespeed on November 02, 2005, 11:25:20 AM

Does anyone know who this Ryan Cates is that did a 310ft motorcycle jump on Saturday?   Does anyone know what brand or cc of bike he was on ?  I may not have spelled his name correctly. I also dont know where the jump occurred. Any info would be appreciated. The video is on the MSN home page under videos.

Check out http://www.racerxill.com/110105_Bench_Ammo.cfm They have the whole story and links to a couple different videos.

Ryan Capes is a freestyle guy from Washingtion state where the jump occured.

Yes, it is totally insane! :shock:

I saw Ryan Capes at a freestyle show when I lived down in Oregon last spring. They also have a segment on him in either Crusty's 8 or 9 that shows him doing his last record jump of 260something. Then he was riding a white CR250 with green wheels sponsored by SoBe I believe. Made that jump look easy too.

what is amazing is he alost over-shot his landing ramp....   :shock:

how big of a set of *&^% does it take to get your bike up-to 70 MPH, go off a ramp, planning to jump 300+Ft, flying through the air for 3-4 seconds, which to him probably seemed like an eternity, and then land and keep it upright....  8)  (bigger ones than I have!!!)
