The record was broken using a Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX and a pair of titanium-soled boots at Elvington Airfield, England.

JD Stunts achieved this feat during the 2024 Ultimate Supercar Event, surpassing the previous record set by Gary Rothwell in 1999 who reached a speed of 156.3mph

The motorcycle remained mostly stock, with only a secondary throttle added to the rear to help Davies maintain speed while being dragged.

JD Stunts narrowly missed the record on his first attempt but succeeded on his second run, astonishing the crowd.

Before the event, Jonny had been preparing and practicing over the summer to perfect his technique for this dangerous stunt.

According to the company, Kawasaki played a key role in the event by providing the necessary machine for this extraordinary attempt.

The titanium-soled boots worn by JD Stunts created spectacular sparks, adding visual excitement to the record-breaking attempt.

JD Stunts is already a two-time Guinness World Record holder and aimed to set this new record to further his impressive career.

With this achievement, Jonny Davies has solidified his reputation as one of the most daring stunt riders in the world.
