World Record Attempt 2008

World Record Attempt

190ft from ramp to flat ground

One of my earliest memories of childhood was when I got a Evel Kinevel toy that came with a ute, trailer with two Evel Kinevel motorcycles on the trailer, I would be playing with them for hours.

This world record attempt was in 2008 in Naiper New Zealnd leaping over 24 vehicles on a Kawasaki kx 250. I am still riding/racing my motorcycle when ever I can and jumping over vehicles, doing demo’s around New Zealand,

Because I was racing at the same time I was training a lot which means a lot of ride time, i had a couple beauty crashes witch broke my steering lug/stop and creased the frame from the fork hitting the frame. the creases did not effect the bike in anyway so I carried on using that bike throughout the year and use it for this event that you see in this clip.

Hope you enjoy, apologies for the amature footage.
