    Monster Energy's Ryan Capes sets new personal best motorcycle distance jump

    Ryan Capes Monster Energys Ryan Capes sets new personal best motorcycle distance jump

    FMX

     In his quest to be the first motorcycle distance jumper to break the 400-foot barrier – as he was the first to break the 300-foot barrier in ‘05 – Monster Energy’s Ryan Capes flew his Pro Circuit-tuned Monster Energy/Kawasaki KX450F a mind-bending 353 feet this past week at Toe’s MX Park in Royal, Wash.

    The ramp-to-dirt jump and attempt at 400 feet was hampered by high winds – some in excess of 25 mph for the past several days. Capes was only able to make two jumps in the past five days before a series of events and an equipment failure shut the planned 400 attempt down.
