One stunt family was able to break not one, but two records with some daredevil stunts.
The annual Evel Knievel festival in Montana sees amazing jumps and incredible action every year, but it's not every year that they see history being made. The Godfrey family is a family devoted to motorsports and extreme stunts. Two of the family members participated in this year's event and managed to break records.
Forty-six-year-old Gregg Godfrey drove a semi-truck over the legend's gas-guzzler. He beat the last world record set in 2014 by his nephew, Tanner. He nearly doubled the record length of the jump at 166 feet!
Twenty-seven-year-old Tanner set the record for a UTV (two-seater off-road vehicle) jump. While this feat is amazing in itself, it's made even more special by the fact that Tanner has recovered from a spinal cord injury that left him paralyzed in 2007. He has since regained his ability to walk, and isn't slowing down. Tanner beat the previous record of a 198-foot jump by just six feet!
What an exhilarating lifestyle this family leads! While it seems like these jumps happen pretty quickly, Gregg says that time slows down right when the jump is about to happen. We can't imagine the kind of life these thrill-seekers lead, but we can bet it's an exciting one!
