31st  December   New Years

The Aussie freestyle motocross star will attempt to jump the length of a football field in the middle of Las Vegas tomorrow and shatter the current Guinness World Record.

The 26-year-old from Kiama, on NSW's south coast, hopes to jump nearly 110 metres in the air and fulfil his lifelong dream.

Maddison will stage his death-defying stunt as part of New Year's Eve celebrations at the Rio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, with other daredevils and music stars performing throughout the night.


He is dedicating the jump to his idol — Evel Knievel

"I want to do this for the man who inspired me and everything I do," he said.

"100 per cent of this is for him and I've invited his family here and he's the man of honour."

Evel Knievel attempted a similar jump 40 years ago to the day by sending his motorbike 46 metres over the fountains at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas.

Knievel didn't land the jump and spent more than a month unconscious in hospital.

Maddison insists he is not fazed. "It doesn't worry me, I've watched his jumps and its 100 per cent different," he said.

"I'm fully confident and I know it's weird, but I think times have changed and the outcome will change."

 

GOOD ON YA ROBBIE WE KNEW YOU COULD DO IT FROM US ALL Australia!!!!!!

You are Simply the best

Proud of you mate
