  Highest jump on roller skates - Taig Khris sets world record
  PARIS, France -- French extreme in-line skating champion Taig Khris (a.k.a the 'ramp warrior') launched himself off the first floor of the Eiffel Tower some 40 metres above ground onto a quarterpipe, with a freefall of 41 feet (12.5 metres) - setting the new world record for the Highest jump on roller skates.

   Thousands of people gathered to watch the French daredevil roller skater drop from the first level of the Eiffel Tower and onto a high skate ramp.

    After completing the World's Highest jump on roller skates, he said:"Two years non-stop, I didn't sleep for nights and nights for that small moment up there and now, as you can see, I made it so that's cool."

   "I've never had such a strong adrenaline rush," he told AFP after the vertiginous jump.

 
  The previous Guinness world record for the Highest jump on roller skates was the 8.53-metre world record set by American Danny Way.

   Khris adds the accomplishment to countless wins in the world championships and X-Games.

   Taig Khris said he made the jump "to give people the desire to reach beyond their limits, to follow their passions, their dreams."
