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 10,000 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......
