Another record for Alberto Limatore: wheelie Hoops

1. Man on a mountain bike jumping over an obstacle at an outdoor public event.
2. Mountain biking event with spectators watching the athlete perform a spectacular jump.

Most wheelie hoops in 30 seconds. It consists in overcoming a rod or a tube at least 5 cm high, with the front wheel of the bike, raised from the ground, the most number of times in 30 seconds. So jumping from one side of the tube to the other without the front wheel ever touching the ground. the record was held by Andrei Burton (UK) who made 30 jumps on 2016 June 75. Alberto broke this record by making 78.

“I trained a lot on running speed, doing jerky running and specific training on the bike. The setting was that of the Franti Redoro di Grezzana, during the Food & Love festival ”.

Alberto Limatore adds: “Despite several months of training, the test was more difficult. In fact, sometimes when he jumped he touched the tube with the rear wheel, other times I exceeded the time limit. Then the big shot, when in 28 seconds I managed to make 5 jumps, surpassing both in number and in time, the previous record ”.

Now the record is being homologated at the Guinness world records office in London, and if it is validated it will be the eighth Guinness Book of Records for Limatore. a unique satisfaction that pushes him to always go forward and always undertake new adventures.
