Three times world champion, 35-year-old Taig Khris, jumped 95 feet in front of Paris' Sacre Coeur Basilica to the delight of thousands of supporters.



Thousands of people had gathered to see him race down a launch pad, sail over picturesque Montmartre before crashing into a giant airbag.



He beat the previous world record of 79 feet set by American Danny Way.



Taig Khris, an extreme sports champion, has been skating since he was six years old was then spurred on by an enthusiast crowd to repeat the stunt, but this time with a front flip.



Last year, he jumped 131 feet from the first floor of the Eiffel Tower on a ramp to break the world record for the highest roller skate jump.
