To anyone who thinks they are in the chase for Ryan’s world distance record,
you better think it out. Ryan is soon to announce the location of his next world wide spectacle. A 400 ft. ramp to ramp motorcycle flight!
Thats right, an attack on his own record of 390 ft 4 in. and adding the danger and complexity of a hard ramp landing!
Has the 316 ft. 6 in. world record ramp to ramp record of Reno gone to Ryan’s head?
Everything is in the mix right now so check back for more.

Ryan Capes did it again.
Not only breaking another world record, but shattering it! The old record that held for 9 years is now toppled.
Pushed to 290 ft. friday night, on his third practice jump! And then on Saturday for tens of thousands, Ryan
flew his motorcycle over 316 ft. Ramp to Ramp. Easily the heaviest spectacle I have ever witnessed.
After thanking the screaming crowd, Ryan walked to the VIP section for hand shakes and photos,
then after that, straight to the News cameras. There was a lot going on at the Grand Sierra Resort. But the big story was Ryan Capes and the record breaking Jump.
Things were now happening so fast. People spinning around, lights and questions. Autographs and baby snapshots.
And in the center was Ryan. He slowly looked over at me and said, another day at the office huh Howard?
For the first time I heard that comment in its real context. It was an incredible day.
After Ryan exscaped from the parking lot He and his crew regruopped in the casino's new X'treme sports bar for a sick celebration party,
Attendence included the Reno Mayor, the casino Pres. Pro athletes, hot go go dancers, and the rock band Mini KISS.
I told you to show up. Next time you better listen.

A special thanks to the Media Team of Matt and Peter Morning for supplying the shots you see above. "with more to come."

Reno, Nevada is the place to be this Saturday.

The Grand Sierra Resort and Casino, to be exact.
And even though you will be able to see this World record breaking jump on the AMERICAN DAREDEVIL TV series, It will never be like watching this insane event LIVE! The whole Ryan Capes Gang is here in Reno to make this happen.
They have worked 4 days on this 30 ft. high, 20 ft. wide, 160 ft. long landing ramp made of scaffolding wood and sweat.


No one has tried this before, and people are scratching their heads. So the dreamers are dreaming, the doubters, are doubting, and Ryan Capes is living his dream of the American Daredevil.
Stay up to date here on this site, and see how far Ryan will push the 243 ft. ramp to ramp world record.
