World Record Distance Jump - This Weekend!

Oct 26, 2011 at 19:45


This is what 150 feet looks like. Ron Penny and Tedman Parkinson.
  From the take off on the right to the person standing in orange on the landing measures 150 feet - pretty big hey!

Distance jumping goes way back in the history books and it's part of our natural progression to want to take things higher and further all the time - we humans like to push limits and exceed boundaries that may have at one time seemed impossible to attain. This weekend Ron Penny and Tedman Parkinson from the Full Monte Dirt Farm plan to surpass the current world record of 133.6 feet set back in 2006 by Jason Rennie.

Back in February of 2006 a guy by the name of Jason Rennie (no relation to Nathan) got towed in by a motorbike (at 83 km/hr) and set the world record for the longest ramp to ramp bicycle jump - he went 133.6 feet. That record has held for nearly 6 years now.

Only 4 months prior in November of 2005, Nathan Rennie sent his Santa Cruz V10 to 121 feet to an unofficial record. He too was towed in by motorbike.

Now before either of the Rennies, the World Record was held by a BMX rider by the name of Colin Winkelman who piloted his BMX bike to 116 feet on December 21, 2000. He too was towed in by a motorbike.

As you can see all the previous record holders have been towed in by motorbikes, but here is where Ron and Tedman intend to put the mountain bike back into the record books and no motorbikes will be part of this event. Ron and Tedman will be doing all their jumping at full gravity and pedal assisted only - yep they are mountain bikers and feel that this record should be held without the aid of any motor assistance.

Pinkbike will be on hand to document the entire event in the following days and are looking forward to seeing the guys land themselves a new world record.

Ron and Tedman want to thank their supporters in this - Santa Cruz Bikes, Easton Components, Troy Lee Designs Canada, The Bicycle Cafe - Kamloops, Pinkbike.com, Billy Bike Club, Krystina Green and all their friends and family for believing in them.

Time to send it boys!

 if you shoot a bullet out of a gun pointed horizontal, and drop a bullet from the same height, both would hit the ground at the same time, as gravity pulls every object down with the same force (9.8 m/s2) so without air resistance, a hammer and a feather dropped would fall at the same speed (with a acceleration of 9.8m/s2). Type in to you tube hammer and feather dropped on the moon. The joys of A-level physics!

flag BigRedBike (Oct 27, 2011 at 13:54)
 @dualsuspensiondave - his point was that if height is the same, and lift is not a factor then air-time will be identical. The only difference is one guy is going to hit the ground going a hell of a lot faster. 200mph would make a guy go a lot further in the same timeframe, which is exactly what is relevant here. If the rider isn't going obscenely high into the air on this kicker, the airtime won't be much crazier than a step up trick booter as many have already stated. BAM

 iesubach, you have ignored speed and trajectory - remember ballistics/projectile motion? The ramp in the photo and the assumption that they rider will be travelling at speed means the rider will be travelling in a ballistics curve - not merely falling from a point. Suicidedownhiller is correct - with the same take-off speed, you will get more hang-time from a kicker. Hang-time and distance are a function of speed and trajectory (ignoring wind etc).

 I just found a wonderful image on Wikipedia. The image shows how far an object travels at 10 metres per second (36km per hour) at different angles*

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ideal_projectile_motion_for_different_angles.svg

This shows that suicidedownhiller's anecdotal evidence is mathematically correct - the steeper the kicker, the more hang-time you get from the same speed.

*Note that the angle of the kicker on the jump may not necessarily, in fact in most case won't be, the same as the angle that you leave the jump - it all depends on how you suck up the jump or boost the jump. I've written a review of Mastering Mountain Bike Skills as a blog and it shows Brian Lopes racering a jump and boosting the same jump, same entry speed, different results.

 There were valid points, but further doesn't mean more air time, as everything falls at the same speed (with no air resistance) but off a lip, speed will make a differance to air time due to you going heigher.

flag iesubach (Oct 29, 2011 at 2:08)
 He does know what he's talking about. A ramp that sends you high will give you more air time the faster you go, whereas off a drop to flat, no mater how fast you're going, the airtime will be the same, because gravity accelerates everything at 9.8m/s2 so no matter how far you go, you'll hit the ground at the same time. Like two bullets, one fired from a gun, horizontally, and one drop from the same height, both will hit the ground at the same time, just one will be further away.

 well, since the earth is round and not flat, the two bullets would not hit the ground at the same time, because the bullet that is fired will gradually move away from earth, the further it gets from the gun... but that doesn't make the theory of two things falling at the same speed wrong Big Grin

flag iesubach (Oct 29, 2011 at 7:51)
 The world is so big compered to the flight path of a bullet that it wouldn't make a difference, and the bullet would not go further from the earth, for the same reason as things orbit the earth, gravity, and therefor both bullets would hit the ground at exactly the same time (with no air resistance)

flag BLIPDH (Oct 29, 2011 at 8:22)
 some people clearly don't have any common sense....from a flat drop, two objects will hit the ground at the same time. When height is changed by more speed off a ramp or something, then and only then airtime changes. THAT'S IT.

flag BigRedBike (Oct 29, 2011 at 14:13)
 Yeah, it's been said so many times, and overlooked by all of those that still don't really grasp the core concept. If overall height achieved remains the same for a rider at any speed 1 to infinity, the overall flight time will be the same. Distance covered, will vary based on speed. No other way to look at it. No graphs to draw. No books to read. This is fact. Accept it and move on. I'm excited to see who can achieve the greatest speed without motor. Should be pretty epic.

flag raganwald (Oct 30, 2011 at 10:07)
 The definiive answer to the air time question is this:

If two riders are both at the peak of their arc at the same height, and one is travelling faster than the other, the will both fall at the same speed but the faster one will travel further horizontally. If they were both jumping to flat, they would both have the same time in the air. However, this jump is to a down ramp, so by travelling further horizontally, the faster rider will actually hit the ramp below the slower rider vertically, and therefore will fall further vertically, and therefore have more time in the air.

If it helps, imagine a typical flat to down tranny, say a flat ramp overlooking a large meadow. It's two feet high at the exit. If you roll off the end without jumping, you fall two feet. If you fly off the end without jumping, you'll hit the ground way downhill and be much more than two feet below the lip without jumping.

 I give them mad Props and they have to have huge nuts to do it but if the way the jump is set up in the photo is how they plan on doing it I don't think its nearly as impressive as previous distance records.

Before i get negative 5000 on this hear me out. A lot of records are recorded by where the rider or driver lands and not the lip to landing distance. So go back to other jumps made, take the redbull tour of Australia back in NWD 5 i believe (the year before Nathan Rennie set his record). With no prep they took a moto ramp, that was super steep built for tricking, in someone's back lot lined it up with a dirt landing that was under 25feet long and reached out to something like the 80 foot mark. that takes precision and balls. you only get a 5 foot margin of error on the landing. here they have what looks to be out to 60 feet from the top of the landing before they land to flat and the top of the landing in the photo sits before even the BMX record mark at about 100 feet.

Not saying i would do it, not saying its not impressive, but i am saying the records made before will remain more impressive to me even if they do in fact set a new one here.

 iesubach, all your points are based around there being no air resistance. This jump is not in space, there IS air resistance.

If you drop a plane from 13,000 feet and it's not moving forward, it will hit the ground more quickly than a plane that is at 13,000 feet and already travelling 500mph, even with the engines off. A plane may be designed to fly, but bikes are not completely aerodynamic and will glide a bit.

Basically, you've got all your numbers, but you're an idiot. Of course you get more air time the faster you go.

 I thought mike montgomery was going for this months ago? I really think they should be jumping close to 200 feet to be honest. Using a moto to get the right speed can be harsh. They should find a steep hill and do it ski jump style with huge natural landing. Not sure if having a light weight race bike is ideal for this move but we see how it go down. If you guys want to borrow my BMW link for this attempt just give me a ring.

 That's a point , why don't they just use some Ski jump with some surface over it , I remember a MBUK artical about 8-10 years ago where some guy used a dry ski slope but struggled with the surface.

flag home-team (Oct 27, 2011 at 9:57)
 Mike's jump got postponed due to Mammoth having insurance issues doing such a jump. I do not think 200 feet is out of reach, it is just a matter of getting the right amount of speed and doing it as safe as possible. Doing it ski jump style will change the type of record because technically it will be a step down, the current record is for motorbike assisted jump on a flat surface. These guys are going one step further and doing it with out the motorbike. Huge props to them ...

flag shishka (Oct 27, 2011 at 19:02)
 Motor bike assisted jumping sounds really gay, I really don't care how far they go. If they do it ski jump style with no assist they get much bigger props from the pinks. Ski jumping is measured in meters of distance, doesn't matter what the drop is. Mountain biking needs to catch up to other sports where they jumping 300-400 feet and more. The bikes are ready, they just need the right jump. Basically they need to go to Switzerland and scout out a massive mountain side with good landing.

flag home-team (Oct 27, 2011 at 19:12)
 the ski jump thing has been done http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfpDhYYqJAs, in the mountain bike community it is not seen as the same thing as jumping really far from flat to flat. When Mike was planning for his jump, we met with Robbie Maddison and his stunt guy (from Red Bull) and said anyone can jump far, it is all about a good set up, balls and speed ... but what are you going to jump over?

flag shishka (Oct 28, 2011 at 9:08)
 I don't mean literally using a ski jump, use same pricipals of gaining speed from steep roll down instead of depending on a moto bike. Anyone can get pulled into a jump and thrown 150 feet, can you actually jump that is the question. There is no flat to flat when using steep takeoff and huge transition. Same thing as using a mountain just looks different. Its a good idea talking to our moto comrads for advice but they depending on an engine. We doing it fir real, all bike and skill. I wish them good luck in this attempt but think someone should try this on a natural roll down. Look at skateboard big air, do same idea but with dirt and the roll down is a steep mountain. Mountain bike distance record on a mountain no assist.

No surprise mammouth turned the record attempt down for legal reasons. You have to go to new zealand or switzerland where you can jump anything you want. I think mike mont. is very capable of breaking the record in the right conditions. Rob madison is very good at distance jumping and we need someone like him in mtb to take us close to 200'.

 I suspect if it went well, there would have been a trace of information available somewhere on the internet by now considering the amount of hype for an exciting event like this. I hope if this didn't execute as planned that the riders are safe and can try it again some time. This is pretty exciting stuff for the sport, especially for locals.

 that saying, It was only announced a few days before the jump, and didn't appear to be labelled as a whoever wants to watch Live event.
or maybe I missed something.

flag iamdamone (Nov 1, 2011 at 11:43)
 I don't recall being specific about the form of information when I said "a trace of information on the internet". You did not miss anything in my comment, rather you added something in your comprehension the 3 short sentences I wrote, so please feel free to re-read at your leisure and try to avoid adding spurious information this time.
