Debbie Lawler is the first female Motorcycle Jumper in the world. She holds the world record for the first woman to soar a motorcycle 147’ 8” (44.3 meters) outdoors on a ramp-to-ramp jump. Her indoor record was set for jumping over 16 cars, a world record she still holds over 30 years later. Debbie was the only female motorcycle jumper ever to break the legendary Evel Knievel’s world indoor record. She recently appeared on a British Broadcast Systems (BBC) special show.

Debbie is a legend in her field of Motorcycle Jumping, and she has paved the way for women to participate in various stunt type sports. She was the first woman in this typically all-male sport, spawning the sports-related doll made in her likeness.
