Extreme Element, Guinness World Records and the UK Bungee Club teamed up to help James make history. His goal was not just to break the old record but to set a new one that would be really hard to beat. That is exactly what he did.

James says the performance of the exceptional ground crew with the smooth rope changes and the excellent crane driver, Bennison, allowed him to really go for it and set such an incredible record. He said that, although after about 15 jumps he was feeling a little nauseous, he got over it and was in a steady rhythm by the end. The job of Scott Mathers, the Jump Master, was to be in the cage and make sure James was all right before each jump. James told Scott that he would tell him if he wasn’t ok and otherwise he should just keep throwing him out. James says the record will be pretty hard to beat because of the awesome crew’s help.
