Ronnie Renner does it again and breaks his own Guinness World Record for the highest motorcycle jump off a quarterpipe.

During the Red Bull High Rise event in Chicago on Saturday, Renner, a professional freestyle motocross athlete launched himself 63 feet, 5 inches above ground, eclipsing the world record he set last year.

“It’s been crazy. I’m so pumped to have done it,” Renner said afterward. “What a killer vibe! All these people coming out to see me and they were psyched. I could hear the crowd cheering.”

Guinness World Records certified Renner’s highest jump, which was officially measured from the top of the 22-foot quarterpipe wall as 41 feet, 5 inches from the top of the ramp. That placed him 63 feet, 5 inches above ground.

After our tiny jump, check out Renner’s 2008 world record video, where he did 59′2″ above the ground on the Santa Monica Pier.
