Sturgis, SD (August 4, 2025) — Rockstar Energy is proud to celebrate motocross daredevil and longtime partner Colby Raha for his jaw-dropping, gravity-defying stunt, setting the new world record for longest Harley-Davidson V-Twin motorcycle jump in history.
After years of preparation, Raha successfully soared 205 feet, over half the length of a football field, at the Record Breakers event at the historic Thunderdome in Sturgis, North Dakota on Saturday evening. Breaking the standing 15-year record previously held by Seth Enslow, the monumental jump marked Raha’s longest ever on two wheels, sending 550 pounds of motor and metal through the air in front of more than 5000 fans.

“This jump at the Thunderdome in Sturgis channeled the spirit of Evel Knievel, an absolute legend of the sport and I’m beyond stoked to have landed it as part of my Record Breakers event.
