Who was the Kid who jumped over them cars back in the early 80's. He was from the UK it was shown on record breakers. I'm sure it was over 10 cars on a BMX he had this really big ski jump like ramp to get his speed up. I have never seen anything on this since then.

This sounds like the guy who tried a record attempt at Bovingdon Aerodrome in Herts, only that guy bottled it and didn't jump but the tv cameras were there and he was under pressure but went for the "its too windy", more like crapping himself; not that I would have done mind you, did loads stoopid stuff but wouldn;t have done that! :LolLolLolLol:
So what did happen to Chris Young?

OK..... you can google chris young and read an interesting article about his recent situation, but to cut the story short he is/was a drug addict who funded his habit by stealing money from phone boxes. Such was his success at this he was named the most prolific thief in the country, and the investigation into his antics went nationwide.....
One of the most naturally talented riders I've ever known, I'd love to see him riding again :(
-
ye me to havent seen him since 86 he was at my sponsors house in a converted ambulance or something
along them lines he was of traveling with his mate top guy top rider :daumenhoch:
-
that kid from aussie had more style than all of them the best car jump of the 80 s :daumenhoch:
-
i heard he used his ripper as the get away thats why they could not catch him :2funny:
-
all this car jumping. does anyone remember a kid on a 'panther' bike jumping cars? i'm sure i seen this on newsround before i knew about bmx. the bike was a chopper style. laid back with a big banana seat. i think it was from townsend or falcon bikes.
i think he also used a start ramp.
