15 Car Jump, Bolton Park — 1991 Here is one of Lawrence's earliest jumps of his daredevil career. As you can see things didn't quite turn out exactly as planned. More than 2,000 people turned out at Wagga's Bolton Park to see Lawrence attempt to clear the line of 15 cars from ramp-to-ramp on his Honda road bike. 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 and crashed into the safety deck. He and his motorcycle somersaulted 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.
