Ryan Cramer Breaks World Stoppie Record by 100ft
The previous Official U.S. Record (recognized by XSBA and U.S. Freestyle national sanctions) was Thew Blankstrom's 749 feet on a stock Suzuki GSXR-750, set in May at Mid-America Motorplex in Glenwood, Iowa.
This was 11 feet better than European Craig Jones previous record of 738 set on a Buell XB9R. In August of 2003 Craig Jones again raised the stakes by traveling 873 feet on a highly modified Buell XB12R. The machine underwent surgery to remove; all rear brake system parts including disc, passenger foot pegs, passenger seat, all indicators, rear view mirrors, replaced the clip-on handle bars with motocross type bars, and loaded the front end with approximately 30 kg of lead ballast weight.
October 30, 2003 - The World Record for the Longest Stoppie (distance traveled on the front wheel) was broken on October 30, 2003 with a new distance of 888 feet by Team DV8 rider Ryan Cramer on a stock, and borrowed, Suzuki GSXR-750, at Marine City Airport in Michigan. "I am happy with the distance, but I'm going to wait until I get my own bike next week to break it again. I know that I can roll over 1000 feet, but today we had a 25 mph cross wind which made it pretty difficult", Cramer said.
November 4, 2003 - Ryan Cramer returned to Marine City Airport, in Marine City, Michigan to increase the official distance of his new record set October 30. Early in the evening, Cramer was capable of distances of well over 800 feet, rolling to a distance of 1003 feet at about 4:00 pm before the video camera was even unpacked to record the attempt. After properly measuring the distances and setting up the video cameras to record the event, Cramer was good for an "Official" attempt of 973 feet. As the night progressed, it became harder and harder to gain any longer distances as the winds picked up again. Cramer mentioned, "There was a moment when I was doing about a 900 footer while a big military Bomber from the Air Force base nearby was doing a fly by about 800 feet off the ground right just above me, it was pretty sweet. It will be in our new video that we are finishing up, for sure."
