Longest Motorcycle Jump Ever – Trigger Gumm Beats the World Record

One of the most exciting motorcycle sports is long distance jumping and you wouldn’t believe the distances that people have jumped.

In May 2005, Trigger Gumm beat the world record with an awesome 84.6 meters (277.5 feet) ramp gap jump at Crusty Demons Night of Record (Queensland Raceway, Ipswich, Queensland, Australia). He beat his own world record from November 2003 by 21.2 meters (69.5 feet).

Check out this video of the longest motorcycle jump ever:

The world record Trigger Gumm beat was the ramp gap jump record for 500 cc motorcycles. The distance is measured from the end of the launch ramp to the nearest edge of the nearest mark made by the landing motorcycle.

Some claim that he did the world record jump on a Honda CR 500, while others claim it was done on a modified Honda CR 250 (CR 250 body, frame modified to fit the engine from a CR 500).
