Motorcycle Jump World Record

Posted by pikesan on Jan 2, 2008 in Shows & Events | 0 comments

Robbie Maddison set a new world record by jumping his motorcycle 322 feet at the Rio in Las Vegas last night. Apparently, he did a 350 foot jump in practice.

To put this in perspective, Evel Knievel crashed jumping the short way across the Caesar’s Palace fountain with his heavy old Harley. Exactly 40 years later, Maddison probably would have cleared that same fountain going the long way!!!
