Snowmobile Breaks World Record with Backflip in Alaska After a Year of Planning and Extreme Challenges (YouTube @LynxSnowmobiles)
The world record for the largest snowmobile backflip was broken in Alaska, in an impressive feat that required a year of planning.
The team needed a specially adapted snowmobile, such as the Lynx Shredder E-TEC Turbo R, with specific suspension adjustments to ensure the necessary power for the jump. However, the biggest challenge wasn’t just preparing the snowmobile but also dealing with extreme weather conditions, which made even building the ramp uncertain.
It was only on the last day of the trip that the weather improved enough for the team to construct the ramp. Tension was high, as if success was destined, but the actual process was marked by difficulties. The five team members managed to create the ramp in a few hours, and soon Bergmark was ready to attempt the record.
Although the backflip was successfully performed, the full video reveals how close the project was to failing. Every detail, from building the ramp to executing the jump, was a calculated risk.
The production offers a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the challenges faced to achieve this impressive feat.
