Tyrone smashes 125cc distance record


Sat 30th January 2010 was a big day for Tyrone. He smashed the 125cc distance record by 21 feet 5 inches.
The previous record (set by Robbie Maddison in 2005) was 221 ft, Tyrone has taken that out to 242 feet 5 inches.

He has fullfilled another successful jump on his way to breaking records in as many classes as possible. This jump was all the more special as he not only broke an existing record but the record will stay here in Australia.

Tyrone wishes to thank everyone that has been behind him directly, and especially all the fans that support him.
