August 15th 2003 - World Record for Craig Jones

Craig presents Erik Buell with a copy of his official notification of his world record stoppie.

"Way to go, Craig! This is great news, and well deserved. I continue to be amazed at your bike control every time I see you ride.

And thanks again for the show you put on in such bleak conditions at Buell. It meant a great deal to the folks here.

To an even better New Year!"

Erik Buell.

Just watched your new DVD, Blinding my son!!! I've watched you progress from the early days on the speed triple to now, and you are the dog's bolloxs!!! I admire the way you take unusal bikes( such as the Buell or Triumph) and throw them around like bmx bikes!! I can't even do half your stunts, and yes I have tried!!! Good luck for the future, and more power to your right wrist!!

I just purchased a 2003 Buell Lightning and love the bike. I have watched your video clip on your 700ft front wheel ride and it was awesome. I wish you good luck in the future and wish that one of your shows was coming around my neck of the woods (New Jersey, USA) so I could see you in action.

Hi there

Just like to say you one crazy fella who deserves too much respect for the mega skill you display, simply amazing, a rolling stoppie for over 260 metres. I hope you never die!!!!!!!!!!

Greetz Filip

Hello Craig,

I have seen your show at Mettet last sunday. It's crazy. :) After doing that with the Harley and the Buell's, your KTM must feel like a toy.

I have made several photos (I had press access). You can see some of them on my site at http://www.forseilles.net/gallery/craigjones .

If you are interested in getting them all to use on your site for example, I can send them to you. All I ask is that my name is listed along (I have a small copyright printed on the images).

Best regards,

Stephan

Well done and congratulations on yet another World Record Stoppie. There's just no stopping you is there. Where's it all going to stop? You should deserve a pay rise for all your hard work.
All the best

Craig, saw you at Hal's H-D, Thursday August 28th, 2003 in New Berlin, Wisconsin for Harley Davidson's 100th birthday. You kicked ass my friend!! I saw grown men get "goose bumps!" Thanks for a great time!!

hi my name is sergio russo congratulations i heard about your new record i been riding since the age of 13 now i have 22 and i hope some day ride as well you do bye and good luck sorry for my english

Hi Craig,
Thanks a lot for singing the hat for me at the Rizla Dutch racing day at Assen (Holland), "For the vincent" (If you remember that 2 persons was my Mum and Dad (the guy who asked you
about the motorcycle's handbrake) and my mum from the Phillipines) I was on a trip to the UK....

Hi Mr Jones,
If you promiss not to crash it, you may try a wheelie on my ZX6R. > Just to show me how it's done on my Kawasaki. :-) > Tx for the show in Assen yesterday.
Regards,
Mlies

Dear Mr Jones,

We really enjoyed your performance at the Rizla Racing Day in Assen today.
The stunts you've shown were really awesome!
We had seen some pictures of some of your earlier performances, but that was nothing compared to the live experience. Luckily we arrived at the track at the moment of your rehearsal in the morning, so we could see the show twice. Wing must be a fearless man too!
During the real show we were worried because of the trucks and cars, which were passing by all the time. Didn't they bother you? It didn't seem to be planned like that.
After the show you allowed us to take your picture after the TV interview you had given. Thanks again for that!
We think that the result is not too bad, despite the fact that there was a fence in between us. We would like to wish you good luck for the future and hope to see you and your show again soon!
Best regards

Hi Craig and Wing,
 
I want to thank you both for the most fantastic birthday I ever have, in Assen on the Rizla Racing Day (August the 3th).
I was celibrate my 9th birthday with my family, and I saw your show 2 times. It was the best show of the whole Rizla event.
I have never seen such cool stunts on a motor bike. Very very cool ;) from now on you are my IDOLS.
My summerholiday were not so fine till now, (my oldest nephew, age 19th, was recently killed by a car accident), so your show made me very happy this weekend.
When we were in the car to drive home, we saw you on the highway, we waved and you blinked with your lights in your truck. We were in a black volkwagen, during that 'traffic-jam'.
I realy like to meet you again if possible, I saw on your site that you are back in Holland on September the 7th for a show. (WSB Assen). Is it possible that you can arrange some special 'backstage' passes for me, please ? So I can see your show and bikes from nearby.
I attached a picture of me toghether with 2 of my nephews between both of you, I am sitting in the middle with a red cap.
Thanks again Craig and Wing for this wonderful day.
Hope to hear from you, and see you soon
Best Regards from a big fan,

Congratulations Craig for your shows !!!!

Have you ever put the XB9S triple clamp and some normal handlebars on an XB9R. If so, did the stock cabling work out for you or did you have to change something?
Kudos,
Steve Wyatt

You really need XB9S cables to do the job correct. The 9S top clamp goes straight on with some MX bars. The 9R throttle cables are too short by 4 inches. You can just get away with clutch cable. The electric cables will all stretch the distance.
I hope this helps.

Craig ...

Hi craig...
Thank's for a great show at Mallory Park on Thursday 3rd July, you and Wing are MAD!!! It was a great honour to be given your crash helmet and will be pride off place in my stair way.

I also noticed that you are not only a great performer but a true gent by helping a fallen rider.
A true Star...
Many Thanks

Craig, just found your website and wanted to drop you a line and say congrats on the championship! I also wanted to say thanks for hanging with me and my buds at the fiesta pool party at the lastBuell homecoming. It was great to chat with a guy like you about wheelies on my birthday. I will never forget that. And to tell you the truth, hitting 40 wasn't all that bad. I think everyone there bought me a drink that night, you included. Anyway, thanks and keep it on the back tire...

Hi,
a real big 'thanks' for your show in Carole last week ... Great !!

Hello Craig,
I went to the first STUNT BIKE SHOW in Paris and you were very excellentttttttttttttt!! Maybe you'll be back next year...

Hi Craig,
last thursday I became your new video. All I can say is - GREAT -
I was looking the video last weekend about 5-6 times. I think I´m one of
your biggest fan.
I hope that I can see you at Hockenheim or Oschersleben in Germany this
year.
Is it possible to get a poster from you ?
Thank you. Ride on.

(Sorry for my bad english)

Hey!

I`m a Norwegian man who just want to tell you how great I think your driving is! This is the first time I visit your site, and I must say: WOW!!!! I didn`t think all of this was possible, but I was wrong!

Keep up the good work and have a good time, with or without wheels!

Yours truly
Stein Erik Dahl

Roll on this weekend as after a superb performance (Despite worse than poor road surfaces) at the HM Plant H.Q the family has got to go to see your performance at Butlins, Minehead. Fingers crossed for better tarmac & decent weather. Only trouble my 2 year old son thinks he can do the same on his pushbike, it makes him happy & us all laugh. Maybe a future Craig Jones in the making ?? See you at the weekend.

Hey there,
I was checking out your site....sweet man, sweet!
Being a Harley rider myself, I was wondering if you ever ride any jap bikes. I have recently become interested in a honda 919 and was wondering if you have ever riden anything like that.
Danny


I began learning on a Harris GSXR 1100. This was not ideal but I got the basics right. From there, my first sponsorship was on Triumph T509. Later came a suzuki TL 1000S and 1200 Bandits. All of these bikes were tough and pretty crashable. Next came a Honda sponsorship using an X11. This was a mother to handle !! For the last 4 years, I have used Buells and Harleys and now you could say I am converted. It makes me so different from many other riders. Apart from the above, I have ridden many other bikes when I am asked to guest test ride for magazines.
I hope you choose a bike that you are really happy with. Take care,

Craig ...

Being a fellow buell rider it is good to see someone do so many tricks with a bike just like yours...i own a firebolt and was wondering if you had some extra parts or had any good deals on parts...not too long ago i was doing a nose wheelie and came down a little awkward...the bike fell to the right side..i was wondering if you had any handle bars for the right side laying around....the bar the the brake setup and the throttle sit on got a little bent in the fall..also i snapped my right peg in half....if you have any info on the following items it would be greatly appreciated....keep up the good work....you give all of us buell stunt riders something to shoot for...also i was wondering what it feels like to pull a nose whellie up at 119 mph...quite impressive
thank you.....
kevin

Unfortunately, I have no access for customer spares. I am afraid that you braking your bike is a hazard of stunting !! In my early days it cost me dearly, but it is often how you learn. Knowing your limit is important.
Regarding my recent stoppie record. Believe it or not, I was not psyched at reaching 119mph and hitting the front brakes hard. The stoppie is a move so familiar now that it is almost second nature to me. I will not deny however that it is a difficult move until it is mastered. Keep practicing but be careful. Don't rush it as it must be cared out precisely every time. The Firebolt is definitely a bike for stoppies !! Minimal effort is required to lift the rear wheel due to its weight distribution, short wheel base and wicked front braking power.

Craig ...

he is the best stuntman in the world ps my nan is the manager of HM plant. you went there didn't you.

Hi craig we saw u at HM plant open day in somerset 2003 . Was the Harley yours or a loaner what u binned , u were great... from

I begin Stuntriding in Oct.2002 with a Suzuki SV 650 , and I hope in 5 -6 years I can drive like you.
I´m a big fan !
Ride on
