A thrill-seeking postman who was filmed launching his small motorbike off a jump during the morning mail round has ended his career with a bang.

The postie, who has since resigned from his job at Australia Post, gave new meaning to the term "air mail" when he rode his Honda down a suburban street in Anglesea and off a jump, soaring into the air and losing control yesterday morning.

Mail was scattered across McMahon Avenue after the crash that left the postman, aged in his 20s, suffering scrapes and bruises.

But the postman was able to pick up his battered bike and gather the mail before continuing his morning round.
