A World Record Jump

On July 9, 2000 at Donnington Park in the UK., Jason Rennie broke the world ramp-to-ramp distance record at that time. The record was held since 1991 by America's Doug Danger. Jason used a stock Yamaha YZ 250 and made a total of 12 jumps. Even though is was raining throughout the day, that didn't seem to get in Jason's way. He kept on jumping with complete control and ease.

He started with the two ramps at 160 ft apart with 1 truck in the middle, then pushed the take off ramp back until the gap was 220 ft. The crowd roared as he made his second to last jump at the 250 ft. mark, his final jump was officially recorded at 253 ft. and was recorded by the Guinness Book of World record officials. He broke the record by just two feet.

One of Jason's many jumps working up to his 253 ft jump.

The above photos are of Jason jumping over five JCB earth movers in his home town of Wrexham, Wales. This jump took place June 22, 2002 at 3 PM. The event was to help raise money for a children's charity. Jason had limited space for the jump, but still managed a jump of 146 ft over a 110 ft gap. The jump was filmed by Sky Sports. This was the first time Jason has used a ski ramp to help him get up to speed. During a practice run the day before, he was fighting a 13 mph head wind. He came up short and barely made it to his safety deck. The following day was successful.

He turned up with a 4 ft tall ramp expecting to jump a few Honda cars . The cars didn't turn up, so it was a 12 ft tall monster truck or nothing! Jason didn't use a landing ramp and by the fourth jump he had wrecked a set of wheels on a brand new 2004 Honda CRF 450. The jump took place on September 9, 2003 at the Cardiff Millennium Stadium in his home country of Wales. The jump took place at the press launch for the up coming BRITISH SUPERCROSS CHAMPIONSHIPS.
