Voici la vidéo officielle du Record Guinness réalisé par Rick Koekoek à Londres. C’est à l’occasion d’un évenemtn organisé par Andrei Burton Events que Rick a réalisé son rêve, a savoir faire comme Benito… Il a fait son saut seulement 2 fois, un saut incroyable qu’il a réalisé avec son vélo de compétition. Voici ce qu’il nous a dit de ce record.
TI: Why did Yo decide to do this Guinness record ?
Rick: Why I decided to do this record was because it was already a dream from me as I started riding UCI World Cup on my age of 16. In Graz (Austria) there was always in the night a show/side hop comp and i saw Benito jump 130cm high over a bar and I wanted that aswell.
So it happend to be that Andrei Burton Events was setting up a show at the Prudential Ride London. The idea from Andrei was to break some Guinness World Records. So together with Jack, Vincent, Abel and Andrei we did a nice show. We all tried to break some Official records and we did.
So My choice was really simpel the Bunny hop record of cours.
TI: Could you say to the fan what’s your feeling before tp do the jump?
Rick: I can tell you what my feeling was before the jump.. I had never made this high in training or any where close. I never ever jump over a bar on a hight of 143cm. My personal record on to a obstackel is was 153,5cm and over a bar only one time 142cm but this is already from 5 years ago and in a different moment off my life.
So what happend.. I saw Abel,Vincent and Jack all 3 do a record and I thought Im not going to be the person who is not going to break a record today. So Made my self really mad and went for it! And of cours after i made it, it was the best feeling you can have.
TI: The result was amazing. You really made it quickly ?
Rick: Like i said I had never made this hight in training before or any where. I never ever jump over a bar on a hight of 143cm. So I was not really sure about what was going to happen on that moment to be honest.
Like you can see in the video I dint make it the first try and you only have 3 time to try. So on the second jump I gave everything I had and jump.. I dont say it was easy but I jump far above the bar so it was perfect!
TI: Rick have You a spécial bike for the record or You do with your bike? With yours compétition bike?
Rick: It’sssss m’y Bikeeeee! Of course I build the frame by my self so its »one of kind ». No I didn’t make anything special for this record. I just used the same bike like i use during the international comps. So its pure a technic you need to know like any other there is for Trials.
Thanks Franky!
