Sydney, Australia -- American biker, Seth Enslow, broke the world record for the longest jump on a Harley-Davidson Tuesday morning in Sydney, local media reported.

Enslow jumped 184 feet between ramps breaking a previous record of 157 feet set in Las Vegas in 1999 by Bubba Blackwell.
Enslow then attempted a second jump for viewers and injured himself on the landing.

Local media said the stunt took 12 months to prepare and Enslow was satisfied with the outcome.

"Lot of hard work putting this ramp together the last few days, the weather has been testing us but we made it happen so accomplished the job we set out to do," he said.

Enslow previously tried to break a distance jump record in 1999 in the United States with a custom Honda motorbike but failed his landing and hit his head against the handlebar.
