The world’s most courageous rider

I could name a lot of motorcyclists, racers, and stuntman who had a successful end of the year, but the name of one person will definitely be on everyone’s lips before they even start reading.

Robbie Maddison is an Australian stuntman who lives in the United States of America and who has prepared himself all his life in order to make the largest motorcycle jump that the world has ever seen. But let’s see what he had to say: “All the success and injuries over the years have molded me into someone who wants to achieve the biggest feat on a motorcycle ever.”

The last hours of 2007 brought to this adrenaline junkie the biggest success in its entire 20 years of motocross stunts. At the Rio Casino car park in Las Vegas, despite the wind which wasn’t in its favor” the 26-year-old Australian managed to let the numbers amaze everyone: 322 feet and 7 ½ inches from jump to landing. How’s that for a new world record motorcycle jump?
