Yeah there have obviously been bigger handrail grinds than this. If I remember right this is a 10 set. I'm sure lots of people could do 20+ sets if the rail wasn't too steep. And grinding a ledge would be really easy to grind further than this. You could almost grind forever lol.

So did he also set the record for biggest drop?
1. I think if you were going to attempt the record, you would have to get the right angle because it would kinda be "cheating" if you had it at an angle that will advantage you.

2. Yes, Alex Toms also breaks the record (or sets) for the highest successful drop on a unicycle. Although I haven't got any footage of this, I saw this on TV years ago and he attempted 3 meters but he couldn't get that so He ended up getting the record of 2.5m successfully.

Is the angle Alex did the right angle? What if someone did a rail (official) before him with a diffrent angle... Which one is the "right" angle?

There should not need to be a "right" (specific) angle. Not that I think official record are that great or usefull.
Well Alex set the record so i guess he was allowed. But then why did they mention the angle? There must be some reason for it.
