Surely the measurement should be taken from the lip of the take off? Still an impressive 4.38m Air :daumenhoch: But surely not 6.38m?
Else whats to stop me building a 6m high take off and landing and geting 400mm of air to beat the record?
Obviously there was an offical Guiness Adjudicator in the video so im hoping there are some rules or restriction to ramp sizes. I feel like maybe im being a bit Anal ::) but had to ask and maybe someone has some answers?

If you want to break this record, you need to use the same ramp dimensions to meet Guiness rules.
At least it's not the debacle that Kevin Robinson's high air 'record' was

Haven't seen the Kevin Robinson version. Still not convinced that this is a 6.38 metre high, air though ;)
Peter J:
What ever the height he's got some minerals even to try it :daumenhoch:
meticulous:
surely how high you can go is equal to how fast you can go as well, if the run-in ramp was twice as high and you could get another 10mph at the lip surely you would probably get another 1 meter of air, taking into consideration the laws of diminishing returns.... ???

Probably less than you think, more about the pump, I regularly see someone do a 360 tyre tap on a spine, followed by an 8ft air, quite how, I still don't entirely understand
