World Dyno Record Broken Twice
American and German high flyers break leap record
Skyler Weekes from Denver traveled to the United Kingdom specifically gunning for the five-year-old record leap of 2.6 meters. On July 14, at a competition during the Cliffhanger sports festival in Sheffield, England, Weekes jumped 2.625 meters from twin handholds to a finishing jug. That's more than eight and a half feet in the air.
"Official" dyno contests are held on a 20-degree overhanging wall, starting with twin large handholds and a ladder of identical footholds. Contestants leap up and left at a 45-degree angle to catch a jug that is moved progressively farther from the left starting hold. They have to latch the jug with both hands for the dyno to count.
