Jump History

Throughout my career, I made many jumps, some that I would rather forget about and others that I can be really proud of.... As a stunt rider, you find yourself wanting the thrill of the jump and the only way this can be done is by making the jumps longer, more dangerous and more exotic. Between 1974 and 1996 I made more than 3000 jumps but don't want to bore you with them all, so I have given you a sample of some of the more memorable jumps that I achieved during my career......

    Hi Eddie

    I read the article about your physio friend on the BBC sites and I wondered wheather I could help a bit?

    I don't know whether you get chance to read these blogs niether have I written one before but I was hoping to make contact some how. I understand you were looking for a new place to live recently. I run my own small construction firm and I would love to help if you needed anything I could help with. I have been running my company for 23 years so I can sort most things out some how.

    In a similar manner to your physio friend, I too had my childhood enriched by your brilliant and amazing skills. The 1970s and 80s really were the best time to grow up and I certainly would not swap with kids today.

    Let me know if you are interested and I could maybe let you know a bit more about my
    work.

    Thanks Mat
