Teaming up with Skullcandy and Red Bull, Australian stunt rider Robbie Maddison speeds his motorcycle down the bobsled run at Utah Olympic Park. Launching his ski jump at 71 MPH, the motorcyclist was almost flying in the air before dropping down 18 stories, landing perfectly on the spot, and becoming an instant viral sensation.
According to Grind TV, Maddison was producing the video entitled Drop In for Skullcandy and Red Bull Media House's On Any Sunday. Notice how he 33 year old stuntman first rides his bank across the bobsled run. Thank goodness there was another camera attached to the bike so that we could see the jump from a different angle.
According to his biography of the Skullcandy site, "Maddo" backflipped over an opened Tower Bridge in London and finished his step-up to step-down on the Arc de Triomphe replica in Las Vegas. Pushing his exploits even further, Maddison wanted to launch himself off the K120 Nordic Ski long jump in Park City.
In slow motion, we see the the stunt cyclist floating in the air before the bike comes in for a landing. In one long take, with no edits whatsoever, viewers get to experience the full jump. You see Madison pumping his fist in the air after making a successful jump. He continues to cheer while the bike rides off across the ground.
