Weekend Awesome – Al the Jumper Leaps Over Two Motorcycles
This week’s video features Swedish daredevil Al the Jumper. If you’ve never heard of him, you can probably figure out his schtick just from the name. Al jumps. He’s best known for his videos showing him jumping over moving cars, but this time, Al uses his impressive leaping ability to vault over two sportbikes speeding at him at about 68 mph.
Al says he’s hoping to set a Guinness World Record with this jump over a Ducati 899 Panigale and Kawaski Ninja ZX-10R. For those who may not believe the video is real (the fact we only see one angle of the jump doesn’t help), here’s a video from Al’s Instagram page practicing for this jump by standing a few feet to the side, instead of directly in the bikes’ path.
Dennis has been a part of the Motorcycle.com team since 2008, and through his tenure, has developed a firm grasp of industry trends, and a solid sense of what's to come. A bloodhound when it comes to tracking information on new motorcycles, if there's a new model on the horizon, you'll probably hear about it from him first.
