Chrigel Maurer sets new Infinite Tumble record
Chrigel Maurer infinity tumbling
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 Pà l Takà ts will fancy a stab at holding down their lunch longer than anyone else has before them.

He didn’t D-Bag from a Heli, but rather started from the Jungfraujoch (see http://www.chrigelmaurer.ch).
