I was there on a few occasions.  I don't know about the claims of 13ft.....  but I can tell you that he started cranking by the pool and he didnt stop. He aired speaker height for sure.

My recollection of it was that he aired that high just for a short period of time -  a few weeks maybe - and after a slam or two it was over.

Jedi - I wasn't there for any of his slams, but I always heard he snapped a set of forks off at the steerer - but you say it was a frame?  Scary either way...  

[jedi]

pretty sure it was his frame.
could've been front end i guess.

It's all the same really - nasty!!

I was there the day Jess broke the frame off at the head tube. On the air he only turned 90deg, and stopped rotating, then dropped like a stone, although it wasn't 13ft.  Also look in the 2nd pic, u can see Paul Zak (Red top), Jason Hassel (on Pauls Right) and Jess's mate Silas (White TA, blue jumper next to lamp post). I couldn't make that day as had to work.

Cool Pic's 

I think your unknow rider is Peter Breybrook who was a Basildon local i'm sure Harris can confirm as he would recognise him from back in the day.

Good stuff - I guess you've got loads of old pics if you were into photography AND bmx (me too!). Can't wait to see more...
