"Freestyle motocross superstar Ronnie Renner will attempt to establish the Guinness World Record for highest air ever attained on a motorcycle. Breaking boundaries is at the core of the Red Bull Experiment, which showcases the world's best athletes performing world-first, "experimental" sporting feats."
"Renner is a respected freestyle motocross veteran, whose credentials include a gold medal in Step-Up at the 2007 Summer X Games and until recently, the Step-Up world record (35 feet high). He will attempt the sky-high jumps onto a massive custom-built galvanized steel quarterpipe measuring 64 feet wide and 25 feet tall."
...His signature Whip was his choice of trick to throw down at this event...Not the normal STEP UP...
The 59.2 was done after the television broadcast since the set up was there,... it was the additional attempt, not caring about anything but gettin' er done...televised or not!!! X Games Gold Tail Whip...Even blows Pastrana away TP said in an interview during "Nitro Circus".
...a nail biter, stomach in your throat when you see it live ramp to dirt hit or dirt to dirt on natural terrain!!!...That is the method he used for the Red Bull Experiment...

: What criteria? Step-ups these days typically
: exaggerate tremendously by adding the whole
: launch ramp height to the step-up jump.
: That's bogus, and I hope he didn't do it
: that way. The jump should be measured from
: coping - the top edge of the launch ramp.
