Photos and Video Robbie Maddison Jumps onto L'Arc de Triomphe at Paris Las Vegas
Weeks of planning, calculating, and practicing paid off with a picture perfect motorcycle stunt by Australian Robbie Maddison. Making the "impossible jump" look almost too easy, Maddison thrilled the crowd with his adrenalin fueled flight for the Red Bull New Year No Limits TV Special broadcast live on ESPN. He roared off the ramp going almost vertical to a height of well over one hundred feet before touching down atop the L'Arc de Triomphe at the Paris Resort on the Las Vegas Strip. With a quick stop to wave to the crowd he then jumped off the ninety-six foot structure into a fifty foot free fall before making a safe landing and stop.
Robbie injured his hand, but otherwise it was perfect. Keep an eye on the Redbull YouTube channel for the official video.
Flipchip was there with the camera and provides a dozen photos of the Robbie Maddison Up & Down thriller. Click below to jump to the jump photos.
