Motorcycle Daredevil Aims for 100ft Record Jump
17 May
Summary
- Colby Raha will attempt to break his own 90-foot record.
- The stunt will take place at the iconic Caesars Palace fountains.
- Raha is a 13-time X-Games medalist, with 7 gold medals.
Professional motocross rider Colby Raha is preparing for a high-stakes world record attempt this Sunday afternoon. He plans to leap 100 feet vertically off a quarter-pipe, surpassing his current record of 90 feet. This ambitious stunt is scheduled to take place at the famous Caesars Palace fountains in Las Vegas.
The event marks the grand opening celebration for OMNIA Dayclub & Skybar. Raha, a highly decorated athlete with 13 X-Games medals, including 7 golds, is confident in his ability to achieve the monumental height. He described the jump as going "straight up and down" on his dirt bike, similar to a half-pipe maneuver.
The location at Caesars Palace carries historical significance, as Evel Knievel famously attempted a dangerous motorcycle jump there in 1967. While Raha's jump focuses on height rather than distance, the inherent risks are significant. The stunt is set to stream online for those unable to attend in person.
