"Evel Knievel handed the torch over to me to carry on the legacy of the Long Distance Dare Devil Motorcycle Jumper"
Trigger Gumm, born in Orange County California June 15, 1968, was totally fascinated with any and all motorcycles. He rode his first Honda 50 in the second grade every day in the hills of San Clemente, California. In Ramona, California, through age 12 he was always building dirt jumps and competing with the neighborhood kids to see who could go higher and farther. He eventually turned pro and raced super cross for two years. He liked jumping so much he embarked on a quest for bigger, farther and faster jumps. During this time he featured in 20+ action sport motorcycle videos.
He decided to build a ramp for a long distance jump. Trigger got his ramp and accomplished his first world record of 208 feet on November 11, 2003 on a Honda 500. November 15, 2004 saw another world record of 213 feet on the same bike at Diamond Bar, California. In May of 2005 Seth Enslow was going for a world record in Queensland, Australia on a 250. Seth got hurt before the event so Trigger stepped up and flew straight into the record books with a jump of over 277.5 feet becoming the world record holder, the longest motorcycle jumper on the planet!
