In the 1979 film “Hanover Street,” starring Harrison Ford, he performed some of his most renowned motorbike stunts. On a motorcycle, he doubles for Ford by leaping a 120 foot (37 m) railway cutting at 90 mph (140 km/h) at Shepton Mallet, Somerset.

Not only that, but he also played Val Kilmer’s double in “Top Secret!” He executed a motorcycle leap over an 80-foot gap on a derelict bridge spanning the Blackwater River in Essex in his part as stunt motorcyclist Dave Munday in the 1981 film “Riding High.”

He jumped over the Great Wall of China on a motorbike in 1993. In his career, he jumped over 12,000 times, but he didn’t get his UK motorcycle license until 1995. In 1993, in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, USA, American motorcycle daredevil Robbie Knievel challenged him to a world championship motorcycle “jump off” competition.

Knievel, the son of Evel Knievel, had determined that Kidd was the only motorcycle jump rider worthy of a challenge. The event was aired as a pay-per-view event called “The Daredevil Duel: Knievel vs. Kidd,” and it required each rider to do three motorcycle leaps, with the total distance reached by each being used to decide the winner. Eddie Kidd won by six feet as a result.
