The Red Bull Experiment took place in Central Park as BMX legend Kevin Robinson soared into the world record books by clearing the height of a six story building on a BMX bike. Robinson set the new world record height of 27 feet in front of thousands of supporting onlookers. Robinson achieved the feat by hurling himself down a specially-designed 60-foot high Super Quarter Pipe. He surpassed the previous record of 26.5 feet, which was held by BMX pioneer Mat Hoffman.
ABOUT THE RED BULL EXPERIMENT
The mission of the Red Bull Experiment is to give the world’s best athletes the opportunity to push the boundaries of what might be humanly possible and push the progression of their sport to unfathomable levels. In the first Red Bull Experiment, motorcross star Robbie Maddison set his own world record for the longest jump on motorbike by jumping a football field in Las Vegas on New Years Eve, 2007, clearing a distance of 322ft.
The Red Bull Experiment provides these athletes with the tools necessary to realize their dreams and put them on show for the whole world to see. In success or failure, these experiments are poised to change the way the world thinks about what is possible.
