Chrigel Maurer sets new Infinite Tumble record

Chrigel Maurer, the triple PWC champion, former European paragliding champion and Advance’s all round wonder kid has just proved that he’s got the hang of the Infinite Tumble by breaking the world record with a stomach churning 155 consecutive tumbles.

Having launched from the summit of the Jungfraujoch and flown past the Mönch and the Eiger, Maurer went in to action above Grindlewald and broke Antoine Montant’s record of 122 Infinite Tumbles that was set in front of a rapturous crowd at the St Hilaire festival last September.

Whether Montant or Raul Rodriguez, the previous two holders of the Infinite Tumble world record, will reply with an even dizzier set of revolutions remains to be seen. More likely is that one of the new forces in acro like Pàl Takàts will fancy a stab at holding down their lunch longer than anyone else has before them.
