DAVIE, Fla., July 5 (UPI) -- A Florida stuntman set a Guinness World Record in Florida for the longest forward jump flip with a flip spanning a distance of 19 feet, 6 inches.

Robert Souris, 28, performed the stunt on his 13th try at the Florida Triple Threat All Stars cheerleading gym in Davie, the South Florida Sun Sentinel reported Tuesday.

Souris set his record while wearing the blue costume of Zero G, a comic book super hero he created when he was 11.

"Zero G defies gravity and that's what I try to do," said Souris, who set the record at 16 feet last year before a Texan beat him with a 19-foot, 2-inch jump.
