Wow! look at all those unicyclists in Hungary, I had no idea! Very cool,
thanks for posting it!

116.5 cm is huge, even with the big dab of putting your hand down. So
it's the world record of sidehops with dabs?

That's an awesome video. I haven't seen that before.

He did touch the pallet on that jump though so idk if that's official.

Hmm?

Definitely not official, though that may be in part due to lack of a way
to make it "official." Who do you go to? It should be the IUF World
Records Committee, but that group hasn't been very active and may or
may not have standards and methods established yet.

This also brings up the question of whether IUF rules must be used for
world record attempts. In this case there would be none, as the IUF
doesn't have an established side-hop event (yet). But for High-Jump and
Long Jump does it mean record-breakers must be wearing knee, hand and
head protection per IUF competition rules?

I do believe he breaks his own record and without touching.

To lazy to find it.

nobody knows what happened to that boy after that.-Nutcracker

i know. he was kidnapped by aliens, learnt their ways, stole the
biggest ship he could, travelled back in time by mistake and crashed
the plane on the earth surface. he was the one who killed the
dinosaurs. -ivan

i dont think his hand was used in a way that would make it unofficial
though. Its not like he pulled himself up, it simply *touched* the
pallet. I call it amazing

I don't think it would count in a BMX competition; touching is
touching.

An amazing jump, certainly.

i think this whole IUF thing needs to loosen up and move on. He
hopped 116.5 cm. yes, he may not have been wearing a helmet or wrist
gaurds, and yes his hand touched the ground, but it didn't look a dab,
or like it helped him at all with the hopp.
