We’ve all been hearing about the gigantic leap that Red Bull rider Robbie Maddison will be doing for Red Bull’s New Year No Limits, but we haven’t seen much practice footage of him actually preparing for it. We ran across this video on EXPN’s moto blog and just had to share it on here. It’s insane!

WHY??????
December 18th, 2008 at 2:03 pm
dane herron is a retard and this is a gay stunt, wait till he kills someone then the stoopid money making idea`s will come to an end!
December 18th, 2008 at 2:05 pm
thanks RED BULL,for supporting stupidity!
December 18th, 2008 at 2:07 pm
i cant wait!
this is gonna be siiick!
and to the guys before me, thats what people said about eivel kneivel (srry, dnt know how to spell his name, haha)
December 18th, 2008 at 2:09 pm
Ok, that is retarded. Maddo himself is sounding like he has some doubts. WTF are these guys thinking? that helmet cam almost made me sh*t my pants. I really really don’t want to watch a great rider die on new years eve.
December 18th, 2008 at 2:36 pm
It’s stuff like this that gives our sport a bad name. Sure riding and racing is plenty dangerous but when you add stupidity into the mix it just becomes ridiculous. Those who are in charge of these types of things are only interested in ratings and making money. It gives the whole sport and all of us in it a bad image. How’s a little kid supposed to convince his mom to get him his first bike when she sees dangerous stunts like this going on?
December 18th, 2008 at 2:39 pm
all i have to say is, robbie maddison has fome FRIGGEN BALLS. i think the highest i’ve ever jumped is 22 feet up. biggest triple of my life. i almost shit my pants when i looked down. this guy is just nuts. huge props man. wow. i hope he doesn’t die.
December 18th, 2008 at 2:40 pm
im praying for him that he doesnt fall
December 18th, 2008 at 3:12 pm
LMAO, thats crazy! Lets remember Maddo isnt doing it for free and he knows the what can happen. 98% of use take chances everytime we put a foot over a bike, and we do it for free!!!!!!
December 18th, 2008 at 3:18 pm
WTF? these guys are insane this and backflipping a truck WTF?
December 18th, 2008 at 3:19 pm
that is even to crazy to think about let alone do.but now since your doing go big.
December 18th, 2008 at 3:32 pm
If you actually listened to the video it sounds like they’re taking lots of pracations and jumping up in small incriments. Yah its a little nuts but what the hell I give him props. I bet all you guys making comments have watched a nitro circus video or two and thought it was awesome, whats the difference. And how exactly does this give our sport a bad image??? You can thank maddo, pastrana, deegan, renner, etc for bringing more outside sponsors into our sport.
December 18th, 2008 at 3:58 pm
for new years? maybe if he backflipped up it!
December 18th, 2008 at 4:07 pm
it’s not sport anymore..
December 18th, 2008 at 4:09 pm
Don’t Die Maddo I need to see more crazy shit from you!!!!
December 18th, 2008 at 4:24 pm
Back-flipping a truck = homo. Anyone could sit in a truck, drive it up the ramp, and let it do its thing. Jumping a bike… now that’s a completely different story.
December 18th, 2008 at 4:25 pm
Also, I’d have to say Renner’s high jump definitely took more skill than Maddo’s is going to take.
December 18th, 2008 at 5:07 pm
i have a really bad feeling about what is going to happen on new years eve. That just doesnt seem right, why dont the show madison landing on the platform in the video.
December 18th, 2008 at 5:32 pm
Maddo’s cleared the complete height once. They don’t want to show it in the video because they want to keep you guessing. I have a bad feeling too, but Maddo is a smart guy and he wouldn’t do anything that he thinks he doesn’t have a chance at pulling off. Maddo is a fucking legend.
December 18th, 2008 at 5:40 pm
insane.
December 18th, 2008 at 6:17 pm
and the point of this is…….?
December 18th, 2008 at 6:24 pm
This is stupid!
December 18th, 2008 at 6:39 pm
Hey man, chill out, this was Maddisons idea, and if he had not kept pushing for it, they would not do it. Maddo wanted to do this, and this is his goal.
December 18th, 2008 at 6:58 pm
Come on. A little insane. Hate to say it but its lookin like he could drop just like the ball.
December 18th, 2008 at 7:19 pm
If I remember correctly in a previous ‘preview’ video, Maddo was talking about the physics of the jump. Surely something like this isn’t left to chance, there would be a lot of physics involved such as exactly how fast he must go as against ramp height, steepness, etc, to ensure that he lands on the platform safely.
December 18th, 2008 at 7:34 pm
my friend knows him and told me he was doing superman seat grabs up it and already did the actual jump…..
December 18th, 2008 at 7:41 pm
Maddo is freakin awesome, and he will make the jump for sure
December 18th, 2008 at 8:19 pm
this is so dope.. is crazy and cool looking and its just sick.
go for it. go big or go home.
stuntin is a habbit
December 18th, 2008 at 8:55 pm
Has anybody advise him to strap on a shoot or a bungy cord . Dam hate to see him hurt……
December 18th, 2008 at 9:42 pm
I love all the Haters.. Means Maddo is doing something good.. I bet all the haters on this board are Fat Fuks that have nothing better to do then talk crap.. Good Job Maddo… you got some big ballz.. like Leyba says your a legend
December 18th, 2008 at 10:19 pm
you know what anonymous guy if you dont like it talk abou it bro! This stunt is gonna WICK-ed… maddo has got some balls of steal…. keep it upbro
December 18th, 2008 at 10:22 pm
i meant dont talk about it ().
December 19th, 2008 at 12:02 am
I think its gonna be sic! Maddo knows what hes doin thats why he gets paid to do this kinda stuff! Sure there is always a chance of some freak accident but that can happen to him walking down the street too! HIT MADDO! BRAAaaaaapppppp!!
December 19th, 2008 at 1:24 am
Awesome, it is all physics and pure skill. He’s got a good team and a solid plan. Rock On. He’s gonna make it just fine.
December 19th, 2008 at 4:01 am
its really sad that, as soon as a topic becomes controversial, people begin to bash each other.
Its really not very intelligent and kind of reminds me why there’s so much hatered in this world,
we’re not even able to settle a discussion about an fmx stunt politely, let alone issues of real importance. We don’t have to agree on everything to respect each other.
(otherwise it would be like living in a fascistoid system)
I personally don’t think it’s a very bright idea - and RedBull is kind of getting into a strange role, from advertiser to the promoter of its own advertising vehicle - businesswise its a great thing -
but its action and adrenalin drenched message is getting a bit mad.
However its maddo’s decision and after all, the US are a free country - aren’t they …
December 19th, 2008 at 4:25 am
i heard from a mate of his he had a chute for last new years…
December 19th, 2008 at 4:30 am
you are all gay this trick is going to be amazing
December 19th, 2008 at 5:00 am
man this jump is crazy… but use all said that he wouldnt do the long jump and he did it now his turning it vertical NICE
December 19th, 2008 at 6:40 am
I think he’s going to make it fine. Why so weiners here? Starting to doubt that many of you are mx riders. Sounds like a forum for dumped single moms crying out and complaining.
Give him support or F off.
It’s about pushing the limit.
December 19th, 2008 at 6:54 am
“dane herron is a retard”
You’re a moron.
December 19th, 2008 at 6:56 am
Go Maddo! You guys should sit back, and respect the man, for doing what he wants to do. Hating on this would be like hating on Evel 30+ years ago. STFU!
December 19th, 2008 at 10:39 am
I hope he is getting paid alot. He is getting his name out there and doing a job, just like Evel and people thought he was nuts too at the time. Just don’t pick up any baseball bats and break some reporters arms. Looks like a lot of prep is going into it, if the all the prep works,go for it Maddo.
December 19th, 2008 at 12:55 pm
Outside sponsors? Who gives a shit? Who benefits from “outside sponsors”? A dozen or two riders? Yeah, I want Budweiser bringing in a bunch of spodes to try jumping, break their neck and our sport gets sued out of existence. I’m sure the Sierra Club would love to be an “outside sponsor”. The NASCARization of off road riding is going to kill this sport along with the lawyers.
Be careful what you wish for.
December 19th, 2008 at 1:49 pm
who fukin cares u dumbass its just the spelling
December 19th, 2008 at 2:16 pm
who ever is bitching about this is a pussy
December 19th, 2008 at 2:18 pm
It’s crazy and I give him props for it, but it’s not worth the risks. One minor mistake and he could die. Stay away from stunt riding and stick to freestyle Maddo. Look what happen to Metzger when he started doing stunts.
December 19th, 2008 at 2:42 pm
Asking why? Do you even ride a dirtbike? Dumbest post i have seen on TWMX to date. Should be awesome!!!
December 19th, 2008 at 4:10 pm

December 19th, 2008 at 5:44 pm
well learn how to spell ass hole its stupid not stoodpid
December 19th, 2008 at 5:49 pm
awsome….good luck to him.All you haters out there i would like to see you try it.
December 19th, 2008 at 7:52 pm
it aint about being bitches or pussy`s ….sure this is big and takes biggg balls to pull off, but is it really worth it?? this one stunt is putting all freestyle mx,all red bull events, and motocross in general on the line. this is not what we ride for! stepping up on an erector set, common guy…. at least jump the whole thing…this is so stoooopid,and you tuff guy talkers need to put up or shut up…post some jumps you`ve done …yeah, you aint jumped shit…so shut up, you prob think it`s cool too see people crash too! dont support stupidity…
December 19th, 2008 at 8:03 pm

December 19th, 2008 at 8:55 pm
AnonyWUSS, we really like your attitude!
And we’ll show you our appreciation, if you’ll bend over, you worthless fudge-packed turd breath! LOL!
Go for it, Maddo!
December 19th, 2008 at 11:32 pm
everything is so calculated nobody is going to get hurt. Its just some new thing to sell little cans of energy. whoop de do… Bird is the real man. he build his own ramp and jumps further than any paid rider.
December 20th, 2008 at 3:10 am
LONG LIVE EVEL KNIEVEL!!!!!
December 20th, 2008 at 3:10 am
LONG LIVE EVEL KNIEVEL!!!!!

there the take off and another big one?
December 20th, 2008 at 1:01 pm
You Pussy haters can’t even comprehend Maddo’s courage. Let the man do what he does.
December 20th, 2008 at 1:03 pm
hey all you retards out there complaining about this jump that takes mad skill, i wanna see your fat asses get on a bike and try to do half the stuff these guys do. they are pushing the envelopes in our sport and if you dont like it then hang up your helmet and sit on your ass and watch nascar. these riders know they can get killed but its the love for the sport that keeps them pushing and outside sponsors are alot of help for the sport. so all you wanna-be riders that are complaining about this while sitting on your couch, if you dont like it then stay off the website. mad props for maddo. late
December 20th, 2008 at 8:09 pm
it look’s like he is going 2 over jump the ramp!
:0
December 20th, 2008 at 8:14 pm
stooooooopid stunt…………oh riding up a sidewalk sized ramp from point a to point b…wow, i dont know what you think is skills,but he practiced this over and over, moved it higher and higher. common,thats not no skill thats calculated limits. skill is sizing something up and goin` for it. this is no different than a robbie kenivel jump…lame! we use to bust cliff jumps all day this size at palm ave, ask twitch,dewd he`ll flip this shit first time fo sho! go home aussies, we`ve been whoopin your ass`s and will continue to,ha take you stoopid talkin ,cry babyn ass`s back and go chase some roo`s around. you ain`t got nothing for usa,bubba`s an rv park gonna wax that ass,yeah boy……… you guys suk!
December 21st, 2008 at 12:08 am
He’s gonna drop in, after the jump!
What goes up, must come down!
December 21st, 2008 at 12:10 pm
cant wait for maddo to stick it clean then all u haters can fuck off and get a life.
December 21st, 2008 at 3:17 pm
What the hell! all of you guys that think that this is stupidity FUCK OFF!!
Maddo rocks, go for it!
December 21st, 2008 at 3:59 pm
I cant believe the major shit talking on here. If any of you pu_ _ys tried this step up, you would look up to that platform, way the F up there, puss out, put it back on the truck, & go home to yo mommy. Please attach a video of yourself doing anything close to this with your shit talk remarks. Maddo is a bad ass Aussie or not.
December 21st, 2008 at 4:21 pm
Yeah man this guy is going huge!! Dude he is going to make it no problem. You guys that are backtalking him are just plane rude, id like to see some of you say that to his face. Iam pretty sure that if any of you were gonna try something cool and ppl were talking behind ur back calling you a moron, you’d be pretty pissed off, so lay off! Rock on Maddo!
December 22nd, 2008 at 1:14 am
gay stunt
December 22nd, 2008 at 1:21 am
where`s the DIRT ????…………..
December 22nd, 2008 at 8:30 am
HEY ALL YOU PUSSIES OUT THERE SAYING THIS STUNT IS GAY AND ISNT THAT HARD AND STUFF. WHY DONT YOU POST A VIDEO OF YOURSELF ON YOUTUBE DOING A STUNT JUST LIKE IT. I BET NONE OF YOU COULD EVEN MAN UP TO DO THIS JUMP. MADDO RAISES IT HIGHER EACH TIME CAUSE HE IS A SMART RIDER WHO DOESNT WANNA F UP HIS FUTURE. SO ALL YOU HATERS AND PUSSIES WHO THINK YOU CAN DO BETTER. PROVE IT. SEND A LINK FOR US TO LOOK ON YOUTUBE. HA
December 22nd, 2008 at 3:14 pm
hey ! anonymous, just have to ask, how old are you ? the reason i ask is from reading your comments you sound like your about 8 or 9 !! can you not speak or respond without cussing every other word or just sounding stupid ??
December 22nd, 2008 at 6:23 pm
Hey i gotta agree with the whole thing about this intimidating parents if maddo gets hurt/dies haha
but this stunt is just a showing of how we can progress our sport to further and keep it going be sided the mulish at the compound haha
and plus maddos got some huuuuuge nuts doin this!
December 22nd, 2008 at 6:51 pm
yeah , no need for all the cussing ,lil kids read these post..you can express yourself without being rude and imature. we are all different with different wiews,thats whats awesome about life and about our sport. imagine if we only had one style bike to ride, the same brand of gear,the same “custom painted helmet” life would be so boring! we all share a simular passion , as different as we all are, we can come together and respect each other and the common intrest we have with this sport!
December 22nd, 2008 at 11:46 pm
why would you say that
December 23rd, 2008 at 12:32 pm
I posted the comment to before this 12/22 at 18:51:19
and i also agree with the guy below me we all different views jus respect each others and stop cussing its not gonna get your view by any stronger ha
December 24th, 2008 at 11:02 am
To all the dumbasses that think this stunt is stupid go suck a cock!
maddo done the the jumps before! like big one! now those dont give him the adrinaline rush he wants so he’s making that happen by doing this stunt!
its not for the money, if it was he wouldn’t be this good! he’s addicted to adrinaline and he gona get it all right! This stunt is only pushing the limits of our sport farther, so either sit on the couch and be a couch potato or go live ur dream like maddo!
December 24th, 2008 at 12:40 pm
wadding up and killing yourself is not my idea of living the dream their buddy,frankly yeah,i would like to come home to my couch after riding and live to do it again the next weekend guy! this is all about money dewd,or it wouldnt be happening at all….its big yeah…it would be cool if it was a natural terrain cliff jump,but this is a dumb idea with life threatning consequences if it goes bad. all for what…money?? glory?? fame??? living the dream…give me a break idiot..this is stupid! go check out racer x….yeah red bull aint pay the hospital bills ,either are you,so shut up,bam210..cock and balls in your mouth !
December 24th, 2008 at 4:35 pm
Would you guys be willing to tongue-dart his BUNG-HOLE if he makes it?
December 24th, 2008 at 11:16 pm
ya dude chill thats so cool new jumps on dirt bikes r so fun
December 29th, 2008 at 11:51 pm
I’ll bet the reason for your bitterness is your personal insecurity and lack of riding skills. Your negativety is holding you back! Just try to enjoy the show and be happy that we don’t have to watch some lame band lip sync their crappy song on new years eve.
December 30th, 2008 at 9:32 pm
this jump is gonna be siiiick! Ride on maddo!
BRAAAaAAAP!
ps. can anyone tell me what the song is? thanx.
January 1st, 2009 at 1:27 am
