England long jump champion leaps over three Minis - VIDEO

London 2012 Olympics hopeful JJ Jegede successfully clears three parked cars in single leap.

The long jump champion performed the feat on a specially designed track and sand pit raised either side of cars' roofs.

JJ Jegede, who easily cleared the 20-foot wide obstacle, said it was hard for viewers to really understand just how far professional athletes can jump by just watching athletics on television.

"I’ve always wanted to demonstrate my ability in a fun way, so I jumped at the chance to perform an Evel Knievel-style display," he added.

The stunt was held in London to celebrate the launch of the Mini London 2012 Edition model, of which only 2,012 will be made.

JJ Jegede is the current England long jump champion and has a personal best jump of 8.04 metres (26 feet).
