Ross McArthur Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 (edited) I was wondering what the World Bunny Hop record is?I also wondered if the side hop record is a different thing altogether in terms of Guinness World Records?Infact Id also quite like to know the side hop record too, and who holds it.Thank you.

eskimo Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Wasn't Steve Geal able to bunny hop supppeerr high on his mtb? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 I'd actually place my bet on Marco Grosenik, his bunnyhops are insane and he does them over bars as well. I'm pretty sure that if you looked at BMX bunnyhop records you'd get a much better picture of what is possible nowadays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 The current record (current as at the date of this letter) is:The highest bunny hop on a trial bike was set by Dani Comas (Spain) when he cleared a bar at a height of 1.21 m (47.6") on the set of Tous Les Records in Port Leucate, France on 23 July 2004.Think the official world record for the sidehop is still held by Benito Ros at about 53.5" although I know Rick Koekoek can easily beat that if it were all organised...

Ross McArthur Posted September 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 (edited) Umm... try reading my post again? I editted it just for you .So it doesnt matter whether its a side hop or a bunny hop over a bar? is there no distinction???Edit...right ok there must be. Thing is I have a friend wanting to attempt it soon, so just wanted to know what he has to beat.Cheers for the help...Ill let you all know if he does it or not. Ill post a link to the Guinness world records if he beats it. Edited September 8, 2008 by Ross McArthur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 No. The bunnyhop record (forward over a bar) is held by Dani Comas, set in 2004 and is 1.21m. The sidehop record (I think) is still officially held by Benito Ros Charral and is something like 1.36m. Two records.Reason I have that info from Guiness is because I asked them whether I could attempt a bunnyhop record for a 24" bike but they don't distinguish between wheel sizes. I didn't take it any further though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're talking official records. Don't doubt that Damon could probably do over 55" onto a wall and possibly over a bar too but 'its like 60 or something' is just plain BS.
