KEVIN ROBINSON BREAKS BMX WORLD RECORD IN NEW YORK!

by Press Release [June 17, 2008]

Late last week BMX legend, Kevin Robinson, made history by flying higher than any human has ever gone on a BMX bike as part of Red Bull Experiment New York City! The first Red Bull Experiment took place in Las Vegas on New Year’s Eve 2007 and saw FMX daredevil Robbie “Maddo” Maddison go the furthest distance on a motorbike. Now it was Kevin’s turn to fly into the history books, but this time with BMX, where he launched an amazing 27 feet out of a ramp in Central Park, soaring high above the picturesque New York skyline. Thousands of fans and spectators were on-sincluding David Letterman, to catch all the action, and this awesome feat had been a lifelong dream of Kevin’s which until now no one else has ever been able to pull off! Red Bull Experiment New York has seen Kevin beat the current world record of BMX pioneer and Kevin’s mentor and sponsor, Mat Hoffman, who at his last attempt achieved 26.5 feet above a24 feet ramp, 50.5 feet above the ground.
