Skating legend Taïg Khris will attempt to smash the world record for the longest roller jump at Paris's iconic Eiffel Tower on Saturday 29th May.
34-year-old Khris, a world champion inline skater will drop 40m on a ramp from the first floor of the Eiffel Tower, landing on a 25m high quarter pipe. He is expected to reach speeds of up to 100km/h. The Extreme Sports Channel will be the first TV channel to broadcast an hour-long documentary recording Khris backstage as he tackles this astonishing world record attempt.
The documentary of his Eiffel Tower jump will take Khris global as it premieres next month to over 25 million homes in 65 countries around the world where Extreme is available.
In addition, Extreme last week announced a new offbeat travel series planned with the inline legend, due to air globally this autumn as part of the channel's recently expanded remit to air more factual entertainment programming. The tentatively titled Taig Khris: Extreme Adventure will follow Khris as he travels the world in order to meet little-known communities and try out some of their traditional action sports.
