He will start on the neck of the guitar and land onto a "massive ramp." If successful he will break the record for "Big Air" jump which is currently 12 feet and 3 inches.

Way isn't no hack. The 31-year-old father of two is an X Games gold medalist, the only person to jump from a helicopter on a skateboard and just recently skateboarded across the Great Wall of China. at the ABC News promises to have video of the jump on Friday but if you are there, we wanna see your pictures or video.
