How Far Must You Go To Be Number 1

On April 18 at the Seattle AMA Supercross, Ryan Capes Claims he will beat his previous world record of 390 ft. at Toes Motocross Park in Royal City Wash. Capes held the record before Robbie Madison who had the record before Capes at 322ft. Capes says he will jump over 500 ft. later this year, which will just crush the previous record.

He will jump a custom built Service Kawasaki 500cc two stroke motocross bike. Capes said at the moment his bike is capable of speeds exceeding 120mph. His jump speed was 101mph. for his previous jump.

When Capes attempts his jumps and succeeds, Who will step up and go even farther? There are not very many people in the world who make a living breaking records, and it's not a job that gets any easier.
