15 Cars, Bolton Park, 1991

Back to Lawrence's Homepage
More than 2,000 people turned out at Wagga's Bolton Park to see Lawrence Legend attempt to clear the line of 15 cars from ramp- to-ramp on a road bike. Lawrence roars his motorcycle up the launch ramp to attempt to jump the cars. He flies over 100 feet through the air, only to crash as thousands of fans look on. Lawrence was 19 when he attempted this jump at an exhibition in Wagga Wagga, Australia. His jump starts off smoothly but he lands short of his target. He and his motorcycle somersault onto the ground. When Lawrence made no attempt to rise, his support crew and ambulance officers rushed to check for injuries. He was taken to the Wagga Base Hospital and his only injury was a shattered ankle.
