US daredevil breaks motorbike record

  

SYDNEY (AFP) - – US daredevil Seth Enslow jumped a world record distance on a Harley-Davidson motorbike not once, but twice, on Tuesday after media missed the first death-defying leap.

The freestyle motocross star broke Bubba Blackwell's 11-year record by soaring 175 feet (53.3 metres) near Sydney's famed harbour, and then went back and jumped 183.7 feet for the assembled cameras.

The heavily tattooed Enslow, a star of the Crusty Demons motorbike troupe, held his crotch and grimaced after landing "awkwardly" on the second jump, but did not suffer any serious injury, a spokeswoman said.
"I think it's just the way he landed but it's nothing too drastic, as far as I'm aware," she told AFP.

The record was once held by legendary US stuntman Evel Knievel, who cleared 14 buses on a Harley XR-750 at King's Island, Ohio in 1975, just a few months after famously crashing at London's Wembley Stadium.
