Jones pulls out the stoppies
Posted :

Forget sugar-cube stacking or some other useless world record, because stuntman Craig Jones has gone and broken the record for the longest-ever two-man stoppie.
Armed with his Buell Firebolt XB12R and co-rider Wing Chui, Jones took to the tracks at Donington Park amid potentially disastrous wet weather.
With Chui hanging on the front of the bike, Jones topped 120 mph before raising the back wheel and carrying on for another 305 metres.
Of the partnership with his loyal wingman, Jones told motorcyclenews.com: "You need to have total faith in each other, especially when you have two guys sharing the same motorcycle and performing manoeuvres that test your body and the bike to the limit."
And Jones is no stranger to the glitzy world of record-breaking. He performed the world's longest solo stoppie in 2003 by achieving a distance of 225 metres and then beat his own record in 2004 with 266 metres.
