Car jumping
kennyhunter6061:
I used to do a few freestyle demos with the Scotia team back in the mid '80's. My team-mate Paul McCracken had seen Andy P's jump and decided to have a go. He ended up jumping 6 cars at Powderhall Stadium in Edinburgh, again from the flat, no massive roll-in ramps. I was 14 at the time and I decided that I could do that too, so I did. I threw a 52T roadbike chainring on my new '84 Haro Master and, when Paul and I were doing a demo at Meadowbank Stadium as part of the Maxwell House Roadshow (a sports roadshow sponsored by Maxwell House) we set up some cars on the running track. The cars were owned by the Scotia Team. On that day Paul and I jumped 4 cars, ramp to ramp from a flat run up, on a running track. I felt really happy that, at 14, I had matched Andy P's jump :) The date was 14th May 1985. (not that I remember like! ;))Happy days.

Always wanted to jump over a car as a kid, got an old car might do it now. Best I managed as a kid was a mattress on fire. :idiot2:
