Jump Across the Border!
« on: June 28, 2009, 03:06:13 AM »
One of our local dirt riders did a stunt jump yesterday. Eddie Wearden made a jump yesterday from El Paso to Juarez Mexico across the Rio Grande river. I am told that it is a Guiness record, however that is unconfirmed as yet. I have only met Eddie a few times in some local bike shops. The really cool thing is that Eddie made the jump on his 50th birthday!

I cant find anything on the web about this jump. I only read about in the paper this morning. If anyone finds anything more on the web, pleas post a link!

Alan :-D :-D

I found a link..    http://www.kvia.com/global/video/flash/popupplayer.asp?ClipID1=3909177&h1=Motorcyclist%20%20celebrates%2050th%20birthday%20by%20jumping%20over%20Rio%20Grande&vt1=v&at1=News&d1=92200&LaunchPageAdTag=News&activePane=info&rnd=22080512

That's awesome.  Too bad it wasn't on a green bike!

Thats cool.... i'll be doing that when i get to 50 to... maybe i'll jump from Canada To the U.S.... though it should be a pretty simple jump! hee hee

But the thing that gets me... its a world Record jump?  We've seen guys jump farther!.... maybe most of us have done that distance to.  Didn't look too far... whats the distance on that?
