Holy crap! Robbie Maddison is crazy

Follow @dcscrap More from Douglas Charles >

Robbie Maddison is the newest name in cycle jumpers/daredevils (see his world record attempt for longest jump here) and on New Year’s Eve he did what I consider one of the most amazing jumps I have ever seen. Robbie took off from a ramp and landed on top of a 96 foot replica of the Arc de Triomphe in Vegas. Yeah… And as if that wasn’t freaky enough he then turned around and jumped (fell) back off it on to the ramp that he used to get up there in the first place. Did I mention he was almost 10 stories up when he did this? Oh yeah… A lot of faith in his equipment, I’d say. This is a must see so get to it…

And in what could have been a main event anywhere else, but was a far second to Robbie’s feat, Rhys Millen tried (and failed) a truck flip off a ramp, which whule it didn’t go as planned, was still pretty damn cool in it’s own right…
