How high can you hop?

Watch this clip and be amazed at the heights these guys reach on their trials bikes. I don’t think I could jump this high on a bike or even without one!

Its the official UCI Bunny Hop High Jump World Record attempt at the mountain bike festival “Bike the Rock” in Heubach, Germany.

Benito Ros Charral was crowned champion after he jumped over a height of 1,42 meters (56 inches)!! I don’t think you can appreciate the difficulty of hopping that high until you get out on your bike and try for yourself. However as you can see their bike are not your standard MTB, sepcially customised wheels and components and ultra light frames allow them to get this high, but it still requires a mass of skill!!
