  After an initial jump of 28.4m, Khris had already broken the previous record of 24m, which was set by American Danny Way.

  Spurred on by the thousands of people who had gathered to see him, the adrenalin junkie rolled down the custom-made launch pad and managed to improve his jump by a metre before safely landing on an inflatable cushion.

   Khris' passion for rollerblades began when he was only six years old and the Frenchman has gone on to compete around the globe in a number of professional tournaments.

  He was awarded gold at the 2001 X-Games, after performing the first double-backflip in the competition's history.
