Damn I always thought Steve M did all his own stunts!!! With all his baja bike racing experience in the boonies he would have done it easily if he could have got the film company off back for 5 mins.

Still that bloke totally p*ssed it - no surprise. Didn't even bother wearing a helmet. 6 feet is nothing. My mate and I used to jump 2 feet high in Mum and Dad's back garden off an old door and bricks using my old BSA Bantam when we were knee high in the '70s after seeing the film.

Anyway weevil candeevel used to jump across buses ''n' stuff that made that look like child's play

Boooteefull bike though. Didn't the orginal used to be a Rickman Metisse
