Robbie Maddison’s New Year’s Eve jump in Las Vegas (2008) | New Year No Limits | ESPN Archive
Rhys Millen kicks off the 2008 New Year No Limits show by attempting the first ever backflip in a truck. Freestyle motocross rider Robbie Maddison follows up Millen’s stunt by successfully launching onto a ten-story replica of the Arc de Triomphe in Las Vegas before then dropping 60 feet into a landing ramp in a death-defying stunt.

Wrong! Alex Harvill jumped 425 feet and landed perfectly.
Imagine being Robbie, watching all those animations of how it could go so badly wrong!
Watched it live, as a former motocross racer my heart was in my throat even on the replays.
Wow this is the most insane jump I have seen in the motocross free style industry, and seeing that he successfully landed both jumps. I felt the emotions of his achievement, brought a little tears to my eyes. Awesome job Robbie!!

Guys, YaH The Heavenly FATHER HIMSELF was Who they Crucified for our sins, NOT jesus, and “HERE IS THE PROOF” From the Ancient Semitic Scroll: "Yad He Vav He" is what Moses wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3) Ancient Semitic Direct Translation Yad - "Behold The Hand" He - "Behold the Breath" Vav - "Behold The NAIL"
To this day, my favorite all-time stunt. Absolutely incredible and amazing.

The lady that interviewed him after the jump was really precessional, considerate, and pleasant. I think it was obvious Robby didn't wanna talk because he was in pain but he toughed it out just to make sure he could say a few inspiring words to all the kids that look up to him out there.

God dam watching this never gets old, such an epic stunt! So close to it all going horribly wrong hitting right at the very bottom of the landing 👀 no idea how he held on to that 💪 the adrenaline that must of been pumping from dropping off 🤯 born in 1978 and racing at 4.5yrs old I’ve witnessed some truly amazing things happen with bikes, the evolution of 2 wheels from BMX to MTB and MX it’s been like watching my imagination and dreams as a child come to life. You know them moments when your in the back of a car imagining jumping roof to roof along the streets or hill top to hill top along a motorway journey those epic lines you dreamed about. I can’t wait to see what the next 40yrs of 2 wheeled evolution will be, at this point it’s surpassed my dreams 🤯💯 Big up Robbie Maddison truly an inspiration and innovator on 2 wheel 💪👊🏼💯

Can't believe that the truck did not have fuel injection, that's crazy. He definitely would have had a chance to ride it out if he had been able to power it out of the rollover. Much softer, deeper dirt for the landing would have helped prevent the "bounce" when it hit also.
