With the Little League World Series content between the Taney Dragons from Philadelphia and the Jackie Robinson Little League West going on, Cameron Zink’s jump was moved from ESPN. His jump was originally scheduled to air at 9:30 pm EST, but the game was still going on.
Zink completed the Guinness Book of World Records distance record for the longest dirt-to-dirt backflip on a mountain bike during the World of X Games. The jump took place at Mammoth Mountain in Mountain Lakes, California.

He cleared 100 feet and three inches to set the new record. He previously held the unofficial record of 78 feet.
The X Games press release also says that Zink received another world record before his national televised jump. In his first world record, he set the longest straight air dirt-to-dirt jump at 119 feet and nine inches.
His jump will officially re-air this Sunday, August 24th, at the World of X Games at 2 pm on ABC prior to the Little League World Series Championship game.
