Robbie Maddison, FMX Rider and World Record Holder
Almost a year ago, shortly after the ball dropped in Times Square signifying 2008, Maddison hit a take-off ramp at 94 miles per hour on his Honda CR 500, reaching a height of more than 60 feet, and soared into history. It took place in Las Vegas and was live on ESPN. They called it the Red Bull Experiment. Robbie jumped 322 feet and 7 inches, a new world record, which is over a football field in length. This year he will be back in Vegas on New Years Eve with a whole new kind of record to break. Robbie joins us to talk about what they have planned in a few short weeks.
