Things got a little western yesterday going after the record. Even with a 14 mph crosswind and landing a little sideways we did it! We hit 247 feet and got the record back!!! We’d been fighting wind and rain this entire week. The winds were gusting up to a 30 mph cross wind. Everyone was told I wasn’t hitting it because of the wind. But right as we they canceled it the wind died just enough for @gregggodfrey to give me a green light. As I was heading to the ramp I saw the flag pick back up from the wind. I almost lifted off the gas from it. I then thought well let’s see what happens and hit that skinny pedal. I ended up hitting it at 84 mph. The back kicks over to the left as I’m in the air. I dropped my driving stick and grabbed the wheel with both hands. I land and it kicks hard back to the right but I was able to counter steer out. What a ride!! Thank you everybody for the support! And thank you to @desert_speed_shock_tuning for dialing the car to fly perfectly flat! What an awesome event to be a part of!! @heavydsparks @the_diesel_dave @diesel.brothers @discovery @polarisrzr @hcrracing @methodracewheels @evo_powersports @sdrmotorsports @sparcousa @bfgoodrichtires @godfreytrucking @superatv_com @gavgodfrey @hans_smco @pgodfreyy @chansgodfrey @jswankers @courts_taylor @warfightermade and everyone else, thank you!!

Tonight’s record jump dethrones Al McBeth’s 232′ jump in 2018. McBeth actually crashed and rolled his Polaris RZR multiple times before the final jump and you would never have known it!
