Robbie Maddison achieves the impossible, jumping his motorcycle to the top of the Arc de Triomphe at the Paris Las Vegas. Then he came down. Congratulations Robbie.
Rhys Millen was nearly able to backflip a truck at the Red Bull: New Year. No Limits. event in Las Vegas. His speed and rotation were perfect, but a slightly off-balance landing prevented him from riding away clean.
Maddo needs practice like any other man, woman, or child. And his approach to jumping on top of the Arc de Triumphe in Vegas is to use baby steps. Now for Maddo baby steps go all the way to 87 ft.
After breaking the Guinness World Record with a motorcycle leap of 322 feet, 7.5 inches at the 2007 Red Bull New Year's Eve Experiment, Robbie Maddison is planning on jumping his bike more than 120 feet high
Rhys Millen: "Last year we attempted what was before then thought impossible. Laws of physics and vehicle dynamics were pushed to the limits with success, but failure came in one small mis-calculation. My body can be broken but my mind cannot.
