The Super Jump: Rocket Powered Lincoln Continental.

By Alex in Car & Vehicle, Video Clips, World Records on Sep 1, 2006 at 2:01 pm


In 1976, Morrisburg, Canada was the sight of the greatest car stunt ever performed. This event was known as the Super Jump. Stuntman Kenny Powers would attempt the longest car jump in history. His goal was to jump the St. Lawrence River. The distance would be one mile. An 8 and a half story ramp would be constructed for his rocket-powered Lincoln Continental. Once the car would leave this ramp it will sail one mile over the river and land on Ogden Island in the state of New York.

Would he make it? Or would his car just plop into the water? And why on Earth was he doing it with a Lincoln Continental anyway? Hit play or go to Link [YouTube] – via Fazed.

    I'll never get why people want to do such things. Or why I watched it all.
