wow , what a waste of time money and resources for a simple backflip. oh well, simple minds , simple pleasures. red bull needs to step up their ideas and actually get creative. have these guys use their talent to do stuff worth watching.

NICE MADDO!!!!!!!!!!!

What a waste of money? It was all over the BBC and a lot of major channels. Promoting motorcycles in the mainstream media is not a waste of money, to a large number of the public, and especially companies such as Red Bull.

Waiting to see a video of you doing anything semi-talented on a dirt bike. Note to self: the powers that be shouldn't waste 'money and resources' to entertain the public unless it is for something absolutely mind blowing. Additionally, despite nobody having ever backflipped a bridge, this stunt cannot be deemed 'creative'. Not sure why you'd post a negative comment about a video with good intentions trying to promote the sport.

that might not have been the most insane thing red bull has done but it was still awesome. you have no appreciation for talent

I know this is hard to do it but if you put all the freestyle riders to do that, alll of them are able to do it so I´m agree with dingal, that is just making a Backflip with a big landing……….I´m not impressed at all
July 14th, 2009 at 6:47 am
Quit being a pansy.
July 14th, 2009 at 6:59 am
wow dingal your a f'in waste of life let me see you back flip over a bridge…i hope you get cancer and die jesus i bet ever time you throw a leg over a bike you pee you panties
July 14th, 2009 at 7:09 am

July 14th, 2009 at 7:13 am

July 14th, 2009 at 7:15 am

haha
July 14th, 2009 at 7:29 am
seriously he obviously feels cofident enough that he'll nail it so y should he… i know i dont
July 14th, 2009 at 1:51 pm
That jump was super lame… the distance was what? 30ft? The bridge wasn't even separated more than 10-15ft, I'm sorry but I have to agree with the others, Lame Jump/Lame Trick.
Flame all you want, it's funny to see the spelling and pronunciation; truly makes me laugh.
July 14th, 2009 at 1:53 pm
Agree 100%, every single person who rides freestyle could backflip that. If you are going to do a stunt and do it with such media coverage, make it worth seeing. That was pathetic!
July 14th, 2009 at 1:55 pm
Maddo, you suck. Drag Red Bull out and have all those TV cameras and perform a piece of *&$% backflip? Seriously, WTF.
July 14th, 2009 at 3:06 pm
im relly sad that he is not wearring a neckbrace but he is relly sick
July 14th, 2009 at 3:23 pm
I must say that it didn't look gnarly at all,what was that a 25foot flip?..Compare this to the Vegas long distance or that crazy step up/step down thing it was pretty lame.All that money and effort could have been used for something much more spectacular..But ok, i guess this will roll around the web and various "ten a clock news" around the world wich is all gooooood for motocross…
July 14th, 2009 at 4:01 pm
its about doing something he wanted to do. It may not have been the hardest and like others said almost every freestyler probably could have done it, but they didnt. The advertising used to do that jump will bring in companies millions. None of you would attempted that. Maddo's a badass end of story.
July 14th, 2009 at 4:59 pm
can you even wear a Leatt to flip, does it restrict the head too much to get rotation?? i dunno! but yeah i bet Tony Hawk could do a nothing over it, i was expecting more maddo !!lol
July 14th, 2009 at 7:39 pm
hey dgizzy that a 250 ya dumb ass! TWMX rules!!
July 14th, 2009 at 7:54 pm
i love how easy it is to get all you losers into a fit throwing match, i'm sitting back and laughing my pee filled panties off and loving it.
July 15th, 2009 at 8:15 pm
Hey Dingal-berry, why don't you go flip something? Not worth watching? it wasn't that long ago a flip was considered impossible and now its not worth watching? Go back to your video games little boy.
July 16th, 2009 at 2:12 am
A new era for freestyle!
Fade
July 16th, 2009 at 11:54 pm
hey dingal go shoot yourself in the face! now that would be worth watching!! lol
July 20th, 2009 at 12:53 am
not that insane but pretty cool
