The highest air achieved on a BMX bicycle is 8.07 m (26 ft 6 in) by Mat Hoffman (USA), from a 7.31 m (24 ft) tall quarterpipe ramp on 20 March 2001, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA. However, Hoffman was towed by a motorcycle in the runup to the jump. The highest ever air on a halfpipe is 5.8 m (19 ft), by Dave Mirra (USA) off a 5.4 m (18 ft) tall ramp in San Diego, California, USA in January 2001.
It seems he was towed by a motorcycle to help him each the necessary speed.
