RYAN CAPES DIRT TO DIRT WORLD RECORD MOTORCYCLE JUMP

2010-01-24T04:31:00.000-08:00

A lesser-known fact about last months world record truck jump by Monster Energys Johnny Greaves is that his counterpart in the Monster Army and reigning King of all distance jumpers, Ryan Capes, busted a world record himself with a 290-foot world record effort off the same jump that Greaves was using at Jeremy McGraths ranch outside San Diego.

Capes jump was a downplayed a bit due to Greaves being the first guy to break the 300-foot barrier in a truck, something Capes was certainly cool with. However, with additional footage just made available, officials at Monster Energy put together a video showcasing Capes Guinness Book of World Records-documented leap making him the closest motorcycle jumper ever to reaching the magical 300-foot mark on a dirt ramp to dirt ramp jump.

For his part Capes said the jump itself wasnt as difficult as trying to get his Pro Circuit-tuned Monster Energy Kawasaki/Service Honda KX500 up to nearly 100 mph on an in-run to the take-off jump that had been ripped to shreds by Greaves 3,800-pound, 800-horsepower TORC off-road PRO 2WD.

Fifth gear tapped out at 98 miles per hour and Im leaning off the back fender like Im riding through sand, said Capes. It was pretty hairy. Lot of wheel spin.

Capes nailed the take off, easily cleared the 200-foot gap and landed some 90 feet down the banked out-run. He said he did think about pulling a trick, but opted out due to the speed and lack of height (he was only 25 feet or so off the ground at 100 mph), versus the area of 50 feet in his 400-foot ramp-to-dirt attempts. But in the end it was a Guinness World Record, which hell take for now.

I was the first guy to jump 300 feet ramp-to-dirt, the first to jump 300 feet ramp-to-ramp and plan on being the first to jump 300 feet dirt-to-dirt, he added.

Capes has a series of four spectacular jumps coming up for Monster Energy in 2010. Stay tuned to MonsterEnergy.com for what he calls his Big plans

Monster Energy's Johnny Greaves 'Leap of Faith' World Record Truck Jump

2009-12-29T05:28:00.000-08:00

What began as a relatively calm morning in the southern California foothills just outside San Diego literally became the stuff Guinness Book of World Records are made of when Monster Energys Johnny Greaves came roaring down a dirt road at 105 mile per hour and launched his 3,800-pound, 800-horsepower TORC off-road PRO 2WD Toyota through the air over the length of an NFL football field.

Landing quite peacefully some 301-feet later despite the overall violent nature of the jump. Greaves looped back around and was met by his Monster Energy/Toyota Motorsports team and off-road racing teammate McGrath.

He made it look good, made it look easy. But that jump was frickin huge, said McGrath.

With a spectrum of measuring and surveying equipment on hand, Greaves added more than 100 feet to the previous 2WD distance truck jumping record of 193-feet set last year.

I was a little bit nervous, Greaves admitted the day of the jump. I woke up and I was going to go ride down there and look at the ramp and talk about what we need to do, but my brother was already in Jeremys horse barn tearing the truck apart and getting the gearing right and I was like, All right, its on!

With a gap of 200 feet (between the take-off and landing peaks), Greaves knew anything below 100 mph on the in-run would cause him to auger into the face of the landing. But with some spot-on mathematical calculations provided by his crew, and, believe-it-or-not, some tips on flying a truck like a dirt bike from McGrath, Greaves pulled off one of the most amazing motorsports distance jumps in history.

Yeah, you can really manipulate the flight of the truck with the rear wheels just like a dirt bike, said Greaves. Id actually hit the jump and rag the brake a little to get it to flatten out. Once I got the feel for that then I was like All right, Im good. Lets hit this wide open!

Wide open in a 800-horse, 351-cubic inch NASCAR Truck motor emits an awesome sound. But Greaves would be a bit impervious to that, with all attention focused on the take-off-point, then, in vain, to spot any discernable landmarks once airborne. It looked like a house in front of me, he said. And when I hit it, you were up there so high that I couldnt even see the ravine or valley until the truck started rotating down.

Touching back down onto McGraths property and into the pages of the upcoming Guinness Book of World Records Greaves and his team were elated with the Monster effort. And when asked if this at all compares to the thrill of racing Traxxas Off Road Championship (TORC) at places like Crandon (Wis.) and Bark River (Mich.) where Greaves is a household name, much like McGrath in Monster Energy AMA Supercross, the grin his face said it all.

Im not a stuntman or a jump guy, but Monster gave me the opportunity to do this and I took it, he said. Its the greatest thrill Ive ever had. You cant believe how long youre in the air, just up there in this massive truck floating through the air.

Squibb Signs Up to Big Air JAm

2009-06-01T04:50:00.000-07:00

Jamie Squibb signs up for Big Air Jam, Since the age of 6 Jamie has been a two wheel fanatic with a determination to get both wheels off the ground at any opportunity. As he grew and progressed to full on motocross race bikes, the increased power and suspension allowed the possibility of getting seriously airborne. A nearby quarry and woods provided endless possibilities with almost sheer rock faces and spoil heaps galore.
Now with greater airtime and inspired by the visual display of one or two world class motocross riders, Jamie decided to follow suit – and put on a local ‘jump’ party for a few close friends – but in almost total darkness.
Soon afterwards, the first ever stadium supercross event was held in the UK. Jamie decided to have a go and suddenly found himself running head to head with all his heroes. He made his mark, coming runner up to the world champion in the interval ‘freestyle jump’ contest - and this his first ever public appearance! As they say, the rest is history. Jamie soon became the UK’s number 1 FMX rider and has represented Britain in Dubai, South Africa, Belgium, and many other shores, including getting massive TV coverage throughout the whole world for the last 2 years .Jamie will be trying to score top marks with the judges at the Big Air Jam and will be accompanied by riding partner Neil Kirby.
