Description


Thousands of people turned out to see a skater dive from the first floor of the Eiffel tower into a huge quarter pipe.


Taig Khris, an X-Games champion, launched himself into a 12-metre drop and landed on a 30-metre high ramp.


At the bottom, a giant airbag was there to stop him. On the first attempt, Khris fell on a failed landing, but he chose to try his luck again.


On his second attempt, Khris jumped flawlessly and crowds were cheering as he set a new world record for the highest jump on roller skates ever to take place.
