If you’re in the Northwest region May 10th come join Ryan Capes family, friends and jump crew to honor the legend. From 2002-2010 Ryan pushed the motorcycle distance record from 260 feet all the way to 394 feet. Looking forward to catching up with everyone who was a part of his life and the progression of Ryan’s distance jumping legacy.

The day has finally arrived. Guinness World Records] has finally certified for jumping the furthest on a motorcycle ever…425 FEET!!!!! The jump took place May 12th, 2012 and I’m proud to say Alex has held the record longer then any single daredevil in history. Exactly 10 years later on the day, May 12, 2022 I reached 425,000 miles on my Toyota Tacoma. I started tripping out but never posted about it. A week later I received 9 ghost calls from Alex Harvills old cell number. Then I began having dreams with Alex in them. Within a week of me having all of these coincidences I received a call from Alex’s mom Debi, asking if I could help her make a video of Alex to send to Guinness stating her case as to why he has the record for the furthest Moto jump. As a team effort of footage shot by and myself, I edited a 20 minute video which included interviews from the land survey crew, Big D, Toes, Robbie Maddison] and myself. The video along with the witness statements gave Guinness World Records] the proof they needed to certify his 425 foot jump as the current for furthest jump on a motorcycle. None of this would have been possible without Debi Chamberlain Alex’s mom, Big D, Toes, Ryan Capes and Robbie Maddison]. Thank you for never giving up and believing in Alex.
Mike and I have not given up on our daredevil project. We will tell the about Alex Harvills legacy. Rest easy Alex I miss you dude. I will continue to honor your legacy. Photo by:

Prayers sent to family. So saddened by the loss of Trigger. It has been an honor to not only document some of his greatest distance jumping moments but become his friend. My personal favorite is featured in this rare frame grab from my camera of Trigger and in front of casket. This was a very special day in me, Maddos and Triggers life because the entire daredevil community came together to pay homage to the legend . I will always cherish that day. Trig I do believe you are flying in the sky with and . Really going to miss your funny antics and insight on the sport. Say hello to the boys for me up there. Photo: Courtesy

needs our help. He was out riding in Utah and had a major accident and was life flighted to the hospital where he is currently in a coma with severe brain trauma. I had the honor of filming with Tanner last year for and witnessed him set the world record natural terrain long distance jump record of 281 feet. He was kind enough to not only show myself, where all the jumps were, but he also hit them all first and kept us all safe. He’s one of the most humble riders I’ve ever come across. His wife and family could really use your help right now. Prayers sent to Tanner and his family in these tragic times. The go fund me link is in my bio. Any help is greatly appreciated.

In 2012 I got a call from Steve Eilers, (AKA "Toes"") telling me that a 19 year old kid by the name of Alex Harvill had already jumped over 350 feet. On day 8 of his jumping at 7 am, Alex Harvill fired up the bike cold, didn't take any speed runs and with the biggest ramp gap in history (354 feet) he hit the ramp at 105 mph. Alex landed perfectly at 425 feet and I pretty much s* my pants (literally). In my 25 year filming career it's still the single most incredible moment I have ever captured on camera. The jump was surveyed by a licensed land surveyor in the state of Washington as well as Toes and Derek McIntyre and I am proud to say it's as official. I was instantly bonded to Alex through his happy, funny, cheerful attitude and I have always felt he really was the most humble dirt bike rider I have ever known. He never had a bad thing to say about anyone.
The following year in 2013 Alex broke Ryan Capes dirt to dirt record at Horn Rapids with a 297.5 foot jump and it was another mind blowing feat we were fortunate enough to document.
Over the next 9 years I was lucky enough to get to know Alex, his wife Jessica, his parents and close friends and they are all incredible, loving people. Alex could not have married a better person. has stood by his side through the highs and lows and together they created a beautiful family with two super cute boys.
I took Alex to as many legendary moto locations including: and tons more and he threw down hard for On the Pipe 7.
I tried to help Alex as much as I could over the last decade but I also have my own demons I am battling now and feel I have failed Alex. All I can do now is honor his legacy and tell his story.
To the Harvill family, words can not describe how sorry I truly am. and I will tell his story and the world will know of his legendary feats and the kind and beautiful soul he was. To Alex I love you like a brother and will see you one day on the other side.
long live the the king and current long distance motorcycle jump record holder. Please help his wife Jessica with any donations through the gofund me link in my profile.

One year ago today May 6,2020 I lost one of my best friends Ryan Capes. Capes was one of the greatest motorcycle distance jumpers in history with one of the biggest hearts to those close within his circle. If Capes was your friend he had your back no matter what. I miss this dude so much. The footage in this video is from 2007 when Ryan broke the distance trick record at 253 feet at Toes MX park. 14 years later that record still stands today. Footage shot by and myself for the upcoming release of the Daredevil Project music by: TSOL “In the Wind”
