Such poor camera positions made it look (IMHO) a rather lame jump. His other jumps (the football field and arc de triumph copy) both looked amazing.

Not that this jump wasn't any less demanding, I have huge respect for these mentally un-hinged individuals. hell, I had a wind up Evil Knievel when I were a nipper, but this Tower Bridge looked too tame. And that is I think all down to how it was filmed.

have too agree,

didnt look anything as spectacular as his previous jumps.

although the americas get him jumping onto the arc de triumphe copy on New Years eye amd we have him jumping Tower bridge at 3am on a Sunday night,

That jump was a bit naff compared to the one he done up the arc de triomph ( however you spell it )

the large drop down was good!!!!

he will also be getting a speeding ticket for the tower bridge... 30MPH speed limit there

Travis Pastrana, still the best in my books.

It's 20 mph across the bridge and they use ANPR average speed cameras.
Just thought I would correct you to save anyone on here getting a ticket.
It is on my way to work.
