Record-setting motorcycle and snowmobile tandem jump rings in New Year

Record-setting motorcycle and snowmobile tandem jump rings in New Year

Red Bull has a rather unique way of ringing in the New Year. Back in 2007, motorcycle freestyle daredevil Robbie Maddison jumped 322 feet over a football field in Las Vegas, setting a world record for the longest motorcycle jump. A year later, the Australian stuntman jumped 96 feet into the air, landing safely atop the Arc De Triomphe at Paris Las Vegas… and then he let gravity take over as he jumped his motorcycle back down. Four-wheeled machinery has taken part in the festivities as well. Rhys Millen nearly landed a backflip in his trophy truck in 2008.
