Eddie Kidd

£34.50

In 1993 he jumped over the Great Wall of China on a motorbike. He is the holder of many world records for jumping over cars and buses.

Despite performing over 3,000 jumps in his career, he did not have a UK motorcycle licence until 1995.

Kidd suffered serious head and pelvic injuries in a stunt bike crash at the Bulldog Bash, held at Long Marston Airfield near Stratford-upon-Avon on 6th. August 1996, when a landing went wrong. Doctors later told his parents that he could be in a coma for up to 10 years, but he regained consciousness within six weeks of the accident.

He initially had limited co-ordination and speech and used a wheelchair for several years. But he has since made a good recovery and has even vowed to return to the world of stunts.

Kidd appeared in an episode of Russell Brand’s 2002 TV documentary series Re:Brand on the digital satellite channel Play UK to talk about his life after the accident.

Kidd took control of a motorcycle again when he formally opened the Beyond Boundaries Live 2007 Exhibition at Sandown Park, Esher on 29th. June 2007 whilst riding a Conquest 1200 trike. Each print is individually numbered and signed by Peter Deighan, and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity signed by the artist.
