Photo by Peter Morning&lt;\\/figcaption&gt;&lt;\\/figure&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Cam Zink is known for going big, but no one, Zink included, has ever tried to go this huge. On August 21, Zink will look to make history live on ESPN\\u2019s \\u201cWorld of X Games: Mammoth Flip with Cam Zink presented by Monster Energy,&amp;#8221; as he attempts to land a Guinness World Record for the longest dirt-to-dirt mountain bike backflip.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;The attempt will take place at Mammoth Mountain\\u2019s Canyon Lodge using a setup designed by Zink and built by Mammoth Mountain\\u2019s Bike Park team. Zink is expected to hit speeds of up to 45 miles per hour before launching off a 15-foot kicker, soaring 100 feet in the air and landing on a 25-foot-high runout.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;\\u201cThis event gives us an opportunity to really shine a bright light on our sport,\\u201d said Zink. \\u201cEvery day guys are doing things on mountain bikes that just defy what we thought was possible. It\\u2019s one of the fastest growing sports in the U.S. and hopefully the world-record attempt will give the sport some exposure and inspire the next generation of riders to dream big.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;\\u201cMammoth Flip with Cam Zink presented by Monster Energy\\u201d will air live on ESPN on August 21 at 9:30 p.m. ET and on \\u201cWorld of X Games\\u201d on ABC, Sunday, August 24 at 2 p.m. ET. The world-record attempt was conceived as part of the \\u201cWorld of X Games\\u201d series, which features a variety of X Games and action sports athlete-focused content. &lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;For the most updated schedule and information on World of X Games, go to &lt;a href=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.xgames.com\\\"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;www.xgames.com&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;\\/a&gt;.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;figure id=\\\"attachment_87703\\\" style=\\\"width: 640px\\\" class=\\\"wp-caption alignnone\\\"&gt;&lt;a href=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.bikemag.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2014\\/07\\/2014_07_16_MammothFlip_180.jpg\\\"&gt;&lt;img src=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.bikemag.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2014\\/07\\/2014_07_16_MammothFlip_180.jpg\\\" alt=\\\"Zink practicing for his world record attempt.

Photo by Peter Morning&lt;\\/figcaption&gt;&lt;\\/figure&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Mammoth Mountain holds a special place in mountain biking history having hosted the first-ever lift-assisted downhill mountain biking race. It\\u2019s a fitting venue for an attempt of this magnitude, especially given Zink\\u2019s life-long connection to the Eastern Sierra.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;\\u201cMountain biking had progressed so much in the last 20 years, and Mammoth has been an important catalyst of that progression. Our bike park continually pushes the envelope with input from the best riders out there,\\u201d said Bill Cockroft, Mammoth Mountain senior vice president. \\u201cAs a Mammoth team athlete, Cam is a huge part of that, and we\\u2019re thrilled that we get to host and team with ESPN in creating something this epic.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Spectators can watch this event for free at Canyon Lodge. &lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Festivities kick off at 6 p.m. PST with live music from Southern California rockers, Bad Suns.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;More Cam Zink news:&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.bikemag.com\\/videos\\/video-cam-zink-relentless-2\\/\\\"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Video: Cam Zink \\u2013 Relentless 2&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;\\/a&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.bikemag.com\\/videos\\/video-cam-zink-relentless\\/\\\"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Video: Cam Zink \\u2013 Relentless&lt;\\/strong&gt; &lt;\\/a&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n\""^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
