Double decker bus world record attempt – coming soon…
Scott May has spent the last 30 years perfecting the skill of driving quads, cars, vans, tractors and lorries on their side two wheels. He has now mastered this stunt using an iconic London double decker bus and plans to break a world record, raising money for charity.
The world record for the furthest distance driven on two wheels in a double decker bus was set at 810 feet (246.8 metres) in 1989. This stunt has only been attempted once before. Scott received a copy of the 1989 Guiness Book of Records, which included pictures and details of a double decker bus driving on two wheels. Since then Scott has always wanted to attempt this stunt.
There are no special weights or tricks involved in this stunt, it is all down to driver skill using steering and throttle control. The bus weighs around 11 tons and all of the weight is on just two tyres.
The bus is a 1964 Leyland PD3A and was purchased in 2007. It has been an ongoing project in between touring the world with the show.
Further details of this amazing stunt will be posted soon….
Tractor two wheel driving
Scott has mastered driving his Case 1056 XL tractor on it’s side two wheels. During practice sessions Scott has completed full lengths of Perranporth airfield.
Scott uses a standard farm tractor with no modifications. The tractor has a diff lock lever, which is engaged to ensure that it maintains forward drive when on two wheels. The tractor is kept in the balance position using only steering and throttle control. Scott is planning to break the world record for the furthest distance driven on the side two wheels using a farm tractor.
