      I think that water tower to water tower boardslide (Clive Dixon? Don't feel like digging down two years into back thrashers... ) was nuttier, that said they made immediate reference to this Jeremy wray trick in the caption... However, inna final analysis, this was hella long ago, bottom line that both badass they both batshit crazy

      The world record is 16.5 feet. The towers are damn near exactly 16 feet apart. Unless he landed the landing exactly on the edge, there is a good chance the water tower gap is the record. And it is fuckin terrifying to even think about.
      The most amazing part is how Wray gapped that thing while carting around those massive brass balls.

    My heart rate goes up just by listening to his story. Looks like every sketchy thing that could happen happened - except for actually tripping over a rock.
    The tail of the board getting chipped before the last try and him having to press it back in a "drop in" position sounds like a nightmare.
