World-Record Motorcycle Jump Attempt Ends In Crash
(AP) MIAMI, Okla. Motorcycle daredevil Trigger Gumm crashed Sunday while attempting a world-record motorcycle jump at a northeast Oklahoma casino.Gumm, 38, fell far short of his attempted goal of 315 feet. Riding a 450cc Service Honda outfitted with a custom-built engine and specially designed shocks, Gumm hit a ramp that launched him about 70 feet in the air before he landed on the top of a dirt ramp, lost control and crashed over the handlebars. Gumm leaped 273 feet, 11 inches on a practice jump prior to the world-record attempt. The distance of his failed jump was not measured but it appeared shorter than the practice jump.
