X Games freestyle motorcross legend Mike “The Godfather” Metzger sets a Guinness World Record with a 125-foot long motorcycle jump that included a back flip over a fountain at Caesars Palace May 4, 2006 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The fountains at Caesars were made famous by the legendary motorcycle jump attempted in 1968 by daredevil Evel Knievel.
This photo was made with a Hasselblad XPan. For this world record attempt i took a different vantage point and used a camera that would only give me 1 shot. It was an attempt to reconnect with “the decisive moment” and prove (at least to myself) that i dont need to shoot so much to make something epic. i’ve always been really happy with this frame.
