Jason Rennie World Record Motorcycle Jump Preparation

This video was produced prior to Jason Rennie's (VERY successful) Ramp to Ramp World Record attempt at Donnington Race Track in England on July 9, 2000.

Jason 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.

Rennie makes it look easy. I would hate to see Trigger and that other guy bouncing off that tiny traditional landing ramp. They are used to HUGE dirt landing pads.. they are not even ramps really.

No fear all the way... what a legend!

Outstanding. Breaking Doug's record is really quite an accomplishment. Ramp to (conventional) ramp is what truly counts in the sport.

...sure would like to see those jumps ! Congratulations, to Mr. Rennie.

That's insane how small the ramps are. Look at that other vid - Guiness Records with the two jumpers - and look how much higher and longer their ramps are. This one is an especially short landing ramp. Probably if he was one mile an hour off he's hit the pavement instead of the ramp. AWESOME!
