Alassan Issa Gobitaca, also known as Al the Jumper, was born in Togo in 1980. Since the young age, he was always looking for adrenaline and new innovative ways of doing extraordinary tricks.
As a young boy, Alassan was constantly working on new acrobat tricks. He came to Sweden as a young boy and as a teenager he integrated an athletics club. He rapidly hit records in high jump of 2 meters.
Jumping was great, but Al the Jumper wanted additional challenges. That’s when he came up with the idea of jumping over high-speeding cars.
He has broken records by jumping over a Lamborghini driving 130 km/hour. That triggered his next challenge - jumping over 2 motorcycles driving 130 km/hour. His next goal is to officially become the craziest car jumper in the world.
The Guinness World Records have caught interest in Al the Jumper's extraordinary talent and wants to officially measure and certify Al the Jumper's world record. A world record event is planned for December 2021 in Lomé, Togo - the first Guinness World Record event on the African continent.
