(Photos by Chuck Clark) – This is total greatness. Ohio native Michael “Madman” Porter recently jumped a 1980s Lincoln over a bunch of vans at the Crawford County Fair, which was also held in Ohio. For starters, the car was his daily driver, which he tooled around town in sans windows and with the rollbar installed. Secondly, this was his first jump of any consequence ever and he went at it without so much as a practice run! Thirdly, he planned on driving the Lincoln home after the jump but the massive impact broke the transmission crossmember and he was unable to do that. We also failed to mention that the car was EQUIPPED WITH THE STOCK LINCOLN BENCH SEAT FOR THE JUMP. If this is not the most zany and BangShift approved jump ever, we’re not sure what is. Make no mistake, we do not think that you should go out there and do this, but if you do, by all means, do it in front of a crowd and have people taking photos and video!
Chuck Clark has known Porter for 20 years and he was among the throngs of fans in the stands at the fairgrounds to watch this jump happen on the horse track. We have video of the jump below, but the still photos are 100-times more awesome than the video. Chuck did a killer job capturing the pure violence of the launch, the majestic beauty of a flying Lincoln in the middle, and the spine crushing impact at the end.
We salute Michael “Madman” Porter for doing something he always dreamed of, and for pulling it off big time. Chuck thinks that once the crossmember is welded up he’ll be back to driving the car around town. We love this guy.

AWESOMENESS!!
so thats what a flying turd looks like
That was pretty damn good. Those trailers he used for ramps are 8 feet, 6 inches wide. He could have moved the landing ramp further away.
If he was smart he would recycle it into a ghetto ride, Ilm sure that it wouldn’t need to be lowered it probably would need to be jacked back up a few inches!
