BIRD's Blog: 95MPH of Drama in the air
Hey everyone, just a few words about my last jump and the fun that follows it- Yes, my jump of 394.7 feet was pretty wicked, and the wind died down just enough for that one and only attempt i would get that day. Add to that a Guinness rep. wasn’t present at the time of the jump to record it. Where are these guys when you need them!! Anyway, our video guy, a couple of professional surveyors, plus a few witnesses would qualify us for a really cool jump of 394 feet. Oh, & the dirt underneath me when I am clearing the last 100 feet takes me out of contention for a clear gap jump record, BUT that’s NOT my goal out here right now as you can see! But hey, I am working hard at this deal, doing what I love and then sharing it with you here on Shred or Die. Check out my videos, my location, jump design, landing layout and style of flying my bike, they are all unique, and I’ve worked pretty hard to get to this point to share it with everyone. But some of these elements are done to ensure my safety so I can continue to build my skills and get the proper stats I need to reach some future goals of mine. With just a few elite riders in the world who are breaking long distance world records and clear gap records, I give madd props to those guys. The fact is, when it comes down to the actual distance I can fly MY DIRT BIKE- those figures are for real, and I am hitting the big numbers and have been for quite some time now. It would be great to have a level playing field in this sport but not everyone gets the big sponsors right away; but as for me, I’ve got a very determined mindset, and it’s my goal to grab the attention of everyone and what I am capable of, and where I intend to go as I continue to push the ramp back on distance jumping. Stay tuned.. we will have more footage to share with you soon! Thanks, Bird

Hey Bird, whats up. My dad holds a world record for one of the longest wheelies in the world (on a 250cc water cooled 2 stroke Cagiva) set back in 1983’. He went 111 miles before his bike over heated and he came down off his wheelie. Anyway, my dad was always doing crazier stuff than anybody out there at the time (you should see some of the footage).
