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

Having Launched from the summit of the Jungfraujoch and glided 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.

Full report in next issue of Cross Country magazine.
