Practice and perfect balance resulted in Roger LeBlanc's record-breaking UTV wheelie, achieved on a Honda 700 Pioneer UTV, whilst carrying four fearless passengers - Jeff Gallant, Gilles Dupuis, Paul Arsenault and Martin Phinney.


 
The team pulled off the Longest UTV Wheelie with a distance of 1140.3 m (3741.1 ft) at Moncton International Airport in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada, during last year's Atlantic Canada International Air Show with an audience of cheering supporters. Watch the video below.
 
Recently verified by the Guinness World Records records management team, the team beat a previous attempt by Andy Bell which had stood for over six years. In an episode of MTV's 'Nitro Circus' Andy wheelied a Rhino for 292.61 m (960 ft) at Miller Motorsports Park in Tooele, Utah, USA, on 18 November 2008.
