Seth landed the 53.34 metre (175 feet) jump on a Harley-Davidson XR1200 at 8:35am at Barangaroo, Sydney.

The stunt recreated a Harley-Davidson motorcycle benchmark set by the infamous Evel Knievel in 1975, and a world record recently set by Bubba Blackwell in Las Vegas, 1999.

Seth said after the jump: “This is awesome, I’m stoked!”

Harley-Davidson spokesperson, Adrian O’Donoughue, added: “We’ve worked hard at creating history and we’re all glad he landed it safely. The wheels are already in motion for what we do next!”
