- Rhys Millen kicks off the 2008 New Year No Limits show by attempting the first ever backflip in a truck. Freestyle motocross rider Robbie Maddison follows up Millen’s stunt by successfully launching onto a ten-story replica of the Arc de Triomphe in Las Vegas before then dropping 60 feet into a landing ramp in a death-defying stunt.
Wow this is the most insane jump I have seen in the motocross free style industry, and seeing that he successfully landed both jumps. I felt the emotions of his achievement, brought a little tears to my eyes. Awesome job Robbie!!
I couldn't have said it better myself, truly amazing!!!
Too bad you couldn’t have been there, he probably would have gone down on you. Clearly he isn’t interested in woman.
@@jeffstrongman7889 bruh he landed flat. He was thanking God he’s not dead.
Guys,
YaH The Heavenly FATHER HIMSELF was Who they Crucified for our sins, NOT jesus, and “HERE IS THE PROOF”
From the Ancient Semitic Scroll:
"Yad He Vav He" is what Moses wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3)
Ancient Semitic Direct Translation
Yad - "Behold The Hand"
He - "Behold the Breath"
Vav - "Behold The NAIL"
Its 2022 and no one has beat this man absolutely crazy
I still think as of December 2023 this jump is still #1
Wrong!
Alex Harvill jumped 425 feet and landed perfectly.
Watched it live, as a former motocross racer my heart was in my throat even on the replays.
Imagine being Robbie, watching all those animations of how it could go so badly wrong!
BAR NONE THE MOST IMPRESSIVE THING I HAVE SEEN IN MY 30+ YEARSD OF DIRTBIKING. THE DROP DOWN WAS INSANE PERIOD...
Scary part was, he landed like 80% of the way down the ramp on the descent jump. Just the compression alone from the landing should've knocked him off the bike and he recovered on the rebound. Dude is an absolute legend
@@frederickglass1583 I think he broke his wrist or something doing it.
I forgot how close he was to falling flat
At 17:10 if you listen some guy in the crowd yells “just jump god damnit” lol
Lol 😂 so funny 😂 😂 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He still keeps yelling after that to if you listen hahaha
Sound like king explosion murder
HAHAHAHAHA
Loud asf too never noticed
To this day, my favorite all-time stunt. Absolutely incredible and amazing.
The football field is insane too
How much did they pay you?
The lady that interviewed him after the jump was really precessional, considerate, and pleasant. I think it was obvious Robby didn't wanna talk because he was in pain but he toughed it out just to make sure he could say a few inspiring words to all the kids that look up to him out there.
He was shaking coming down from that adrenaline high too. You can see his hand shaking putting his goggles over his neck
Was Jamie Little. Well known in motorsports reporting. She is very, very good.
It’s all part of the contract. If you survive the jump and are able to talk then you have to do the interview. I’m sure someone on the side told her he’s OK to talk and do a interview before she just went running up to him.
I watch this like once every year and it never disappoint
10 years later still the most amazing stunt ever performed!! Notice no one else has tried to repeat it or even top that !!!
that's what makes Robbie such a unique stunter. I love what he dose. Not even Travis Pastrana tries his stunts, nor dose the nitro circus. They're all about worlds 1st's. That's great, But then There's Robbie Maddison, The lone wolf, Going huge, and flying further than anybody would ever want to try. That's what makes him the 2nd coming of Evel Knievel
You're right.
Sponsorship. Think about it.
SF7
@@cjcampbell4799 Get a clue. This is about sponsorship and ownership. This stunt could be re-created by anyone with the same kind of ramp and a similar vehicle. It's surprising that a half-dozen other automotive-stunt-performers have not tried it too.
Station
@@sf7truthseeker630 okay. Name one person who'll honestly do this. Go on. I guarantee you this will never be reenacted.
Still unreal to this day ! 🔥
This happened 15 years ago and I know it ends well but I still feel the tingling and sweat in my palms as they get closer to the moment
EDIT: He overshot that the redbull sign by like 2 stories! That's insane he was still able to land it!
14 years
Same! It doesn't help that they showed us high resolution animations of all the various ways he could die!
Exactly.
Robbie just turned 40 and is planning another insane jump. Maddo is a straight up legend in Moto X.
You'll never see a jump as crazy and death defying as that amazing stunt ever again ,the only thing that saved that landing was skill and pure upper body strength, his wrist and thumb clearly broken from the impact of the landing, you can see the excruciating pain his in ,but like a boss keeps it together, I was so happy for him even watching from a far ,put a tear in my eyes ,Aussie LEGEND, Robbie Maddison
Brother, I cried too. This is truly inspiring and beautiful
I remember watching this live as a kid. I forgot how amazing it actually was. Wild. Thanks TH-cam for the recommendation for once
The coolest thing I have seen in a long time. Wish times were like these again
yh, someone will moan about climate change these days... sad times
@@johnnybegood9560 lol so true
11 year ago and I still watch this with absolute admiration and amazement.
Grow up😏
Both dudes did awesome!!Robbie was holding on for dear life,I’m sure any of us would’ve been!!
Hello Johny how are you doing today
I watched this live and several times in the past 14years nothing comes close to this courageous feat ! Pure admiration for you Robbie !
You don't get out much do you. This is literally nothing
@@zirzmokealot4600 send me a link to what your referring to like to see it !
@@mikem7052 robbie Maddison is nothing in the motocross world. Just best at making money advertising
@@mikem7052 Ryan capes and any other freestyle motocross rider would make Maddison loom bad
Really, how about running out of a landing craft on a beach with bullets and bombs going off around you.
This dude is absolutely f****** insane! I can't tell you how many times I've seen the video of this jump and it makes me nervous every single time. The jump was so f****** incredible it's like I expect something to happen the next time I watch this video. This dude is amazing!
Grow up little boys and stop spewing immature disgusting filth in public! How pathetically uneducated, immoral, and Godless, thus anti-American.
How pathetically sad that your father and mother both failed to train you how to be a REAL man, a true gentleman of moral character. Instead you sound like just another ignorant BLM street thug.
You're a disgrace.
I cried when he hugged his mechanic 😭😭😭😭😢😢😭🤧🤧🤧🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
His wife like I wonder if I’ll get one of those hugs lol
L
No she's hitting the friend ... everytime
Bros before hoes
Sometimes its super smash bros
Absolutely incredible! The achievement brought a tear to my eyes
Ok softy
I’m in Vegas now, from Australia 🇦🇺 looking down the strip at Cesar’s and for Robbie to pull this stunt off, NewYears eve and being that dangerous, this is in my (opinion) the GOAT Mt Everest of motor X stunts of any time 💯 the guy is crazzyyy
Rumors say he hasn’t still hug his girl until this day 😂
Rumors say he still hasn’t hugged his girl to this day 😂* nice try though 😂
Jonathan Ian Epic fail buddy they are still married
Dude he gripped her up, man she prolly said babe that hurt!!!
Fucked up he hugged everyone except his girl lol
@@jossuegarza215 How is that fucked up?LOL Calm down
20:25 jump up. 😵👍
cool music ty
Vary good...
Thanks
EAZY
cheers
I watched this years ago live and was flabbergasted. Watching it again today, I'm able to fully appreciate how bad this could have went. Good show, good form mate.
This is the best video. I already know what happened but hearing the excitement and the buildup brings it all back. What an awesome accomplishment.
What a jump! Credit should go to those that did the ramp, mathematicians, engineers and construction workers. 👏🏼👏🏼👍
Late nite drinking to come up with this one stunt
A fat rip of coke off a hookers pooper and three days of no sleep made this one happen bud
@@whoswondering7911 Sounds like the 1990s to me. How I do miss them!
The people that did the real work lol
That’s why they get paid the big bucks lol it’s a shame how in so many fields there are such talented/skilled workers that aren’t given any credit for doing the most essential tasks that make the end product possible
Wvery so often when I watch this it still gets my heart going every time! Just such an unbelievable trick, the times I've been to Vegas after watching this on TV, I've always smiled in awe thinking of this stunt! Anybody that knows of this trick probably feels that is an extra-special Landmark now!
Just watched it for the first time in a while. After landing a triple off of the side of a track 5 years ago, and remembering the pain, lifeflight, and recovery, I almost throw up watching this lol.
@@jasonschwartz9481 lol, yeah that sounds a TAD rough! I'm really glad I never had LifeFlight, but I'm just remembering the times I came close -- were you able to make a full recovery?
@@dmeemd7787 yeah. Amazingly broke nothing. With chiro and everything else I was able to get back to full health in 4 months. But, man, that was rough lol. I play hockey constantly so I think my conditioning for that helped me recover quickly.
Love robbies style when he’s doin them big distance missions , just looks insane 😲
Hello Michael how are you doing today
As amazing as the jump to the top was, and the ball-crushing drop back to Earth, the way Robbie completely ignored his gf (who was trying hard to get some spotlight) and hugged his bros instead confirms that he is indeed a legend.
is an idiot
It was his fiancé not gf that makes it a bit worse considering the fear she had to be feeling watching him do that. Pretty fucked up
@@arielle4201 I’m sure his boys were even more nervous
my guy
A true legend knows how to treat the women that he plans on spending the rest of his life with.
I remember watching this as a kid for the first time, so inspiring
Hello Friend how are you
8:40 - The truck flip.
20:25 - The bike jump.
15:04 - The potential for death animations!
The stunts are great!
The coverage is terrible! Especially the lacklustre replays of the motorcycle jump 😔
Thank you. 👍
@@lynx8828 I thought I was the only one that noticed that
I preferred it when everyone just had a laugh doing stupid stuff, this is such a contrived anticlimax. I mean how many strobes do you really need, how many scared fiancés do we need close ups of? I just want stunts and crashes, this is like a vegas show, just money money money, how much more do they need, they have more than they can spend already?
Travis must be worth 50 million as it is, it don’t seem fun anymore, where’s that fat bloke he was funny
Didn’t even KNOW THIS took place ha ha ha. Great stunt!…Edited: And “Thanks!” for the time stamps..
@@lynx8828 …yeah, what a CHUMP…I THINK “Torque” is the word he’s looking for. Dude’s speechless. PLUS..I DIDN’T SEE him “hit’ his wife..he’s a douche if he did that’s for sure.
Legend has it his girlfriend still walks around with open arms.
With that Sta-Puff Marshmallow coat on I bet she can't even touch her hands together LOL.
🤣🤣🤣
😂
@@WileeC incel?
@@WileeC 3EEsEWesEeESEseseeesEEeseeeeseEeEeE4Ñ0
quem espetáculo de Robbie chega da arrepio🇧🇷
He saved that overshot landing with fantastic skill.
Insane
Travis Pastrana: gets talking fast and says "if he messes up, you know, he dies" 🤣😅😅
I know the interviewer looked shook
🤣🤣 I was thinking he could get injured Travis.
All is Possible. I needed to see this video. My super Motivation I Love the Courage this man has shown to make the Impossible the Possible He held on to the End! Victory!✌️
Legend has it she's still waiting for that hug..
😮😮 How the heck did he hold on to that bike? That landing was beyond gnarly.
With the hands
I remember watching this live with my dad who is now gone. Back when the world had cool events and it was ok to whatever you can put your mind too.
you can always do what you want if you put your mind to it.
The confidence is the most important thing to do any thing.. all the best guys...
This dude is off the charts awesome
20:23 that moment when you gotta send it!
Muchas veces se pasa a la hora
Mu opposite que
2
thanks
I remember watching this live as a kid but holy suffrin... Absolutely insane
Same
Es 2023 y tampoco lo supera nadie,ese salto es de locos, insuperable 😮🤯👏👏👏👏
The sheer Magnitude of a stunt like this just makes the mind go
whacky,& makes a ❤ tremble w
😱 fear but also excitement!!😝
That stunt on the motorcycle was crazy awesome.
2021. I’m more excited about the crowd being able to gather, the jump was cool to✌🏿
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😨😰😥😢😭
😂🤣🤣
this is the best thing i have seen in ages
This just gives my dog goose bumps.
What a great rider
I remember watching this in 2008, i was fucking mind blown! And watching it again in 2020 quarantine is still a mind blowing jump!
me cai ,
love you kid... that was amazing.. congradz for you and your girl.. my blessings
Huge Respect for that guy..CRAZIEST guy..
And I Really wanna try this at once in my lifetime...
Hello Friend how are you doing
Gotta love the realness of Travis Pastrana when he says "you know if he messes up, you know, he dies".
Well it's 32m high. Anything above 10m is deadly
@@vitkomusic6624 exactly my point, but just the way he says it.
This NEVER gets old !
Big hug from gili in lombok it's WOWSOME MAN
So dangerous! Respect ✊
lol never hugs all but his girlfriend 🤣😀👍🙏 great jump , respect 👍🇳🇴🙏
Never mind a hug I don’t even think he looked at his girlfriend once after landing
she was looking at him and some random person in the crowd
🤔Noticed that to, matter of fact he gave everyone a hug except her 😯🤭
I thought the same, just after landing
@Steven Guilkey Jr they have been married for 10 years
Steven Guilkey Jr stop white knighting simp
Wow - that's amazing! Nice job Robbie.
Robbie Madison that was awesome you rock dude you rock
You can tell the anxiety in the faces of his team and those near him . They have that I hope this isn’t the last time I see him look .
That's was sick!
Watching in 2021 still awesome...
Absolutely incredible
I got lucky enough to see this outside of a hotel window...unlucky to be 16 in Vegas, but definitely lucky to see this.
I love how they show 5 ways Robbie crashes and dies....lol.
God dam watching this never gets old, such an epic stunt! So close to it all going horribly wrong hitting right at the very bottom of the landing 👀 no idea how he held on to that 💪 the adrenaline that must of been pumping from dropping off 🤯 born in 1978 and racing at 4.5yrs old I’ve witnessed some truly amazing things happen with bikes, the evolution of 2 wheels from BMX to MTB and MX it’s been like watching my imagination and dreams as a child come to life. You know them moments when your in the back of a car imagining jumping roof to roof along the streets or hill top to hill top along a motorway journey those epic lines you dreamed about. I can’t wait to see what the next 40yrs of 2 wheeled evolution will be, at this point it’s surpassed my dreams 🤯💯 Big up Robbie Maddison truly an inspiration and innovator on 2 wheel 💪👊🏼💯
I jumped off a bounce house once and took the force of 10 feet in my wrists. I can’t imagine what he felt.
Grow up little boy and stop taking God's name in vain, which he will not hold you Guiltless for. This makes you an anti-American.
@@bldlightpainting I’m not American any way 🤣😂🤣
23:04 “get your hands off of me woman
Lol
XD
I'm watching 2020 April 16
Like you now
Same here
Richard Adona I have a photo of Robbie when he was like 19 or 20
Lol no
August 29
Fricking AMAZING!!
Pastrana in the calmest voice: “If he misses he dies but that’s just the sport you know” … Massive respect to these gentlemen
The most amazing thing about this video..is the fact that the RIO hotel is still open🤙🤙😂😂😂
.
..
..
Those bike animations were brutal 😂
americans love crash drama lol
guys the funniest part is the girlfriend
she's constantly going for the hug but keeps getting rejected then she gets blood on her hands while wearing a white coat 😂
lol i saw thatt too
15 years on and still the maddest jump in history by the biggest maddog on planet earth
15:05 imagine Robbie`s fiance watching that animation...
Man can you Imagin doing this today? I miss my childhood. Everything’s to soft now. Everything about this video is special. How that bike survived that free fall when it was over shot, is a miracle. It would of been equivalent to just jumping off a building. Wild. Robbie Madison you are the fucking man
Facts 💯
Man ...this was outrageous...i have never seen this WOW!
There’s only one Robbie Maddison and only ever be one Robbie Maddison
Espetáculo os dois pilotos, parabéns pela coragem....Teresópolis Rio de Janeiro...Brasil...
Glad they put so much effort into graphics to show me how dangerous it is..I'd never have guessed driving a motorcycle of the top of a really high building was risky
Lol!
That was sick good job
6:03 What a way to ease your buddy's nerves Travis, "If he messes up he dies" 🤣🤣
Also as a dirtbike rider myself, at first the weight of the bike is a little scary but you get used to it kind of quickly. People most people underestimate the power and strength it takes to be a ripper of a dirtbike. Both trail and on the track.
Don’t worry everyone he did eventually hug his girlfriend....right after he hugged everyone else in the stadium
Yeah dude xD
😂Ha ha ha ha🤣
🤣
He probaly forget who she was like I would
If you thought you might die
You would be distracted too
That was EPIC! 👏👏👏👏
Best motorcycle jump in history.
Legend has it the fiancé is still waiting for her hug
Imagine the mental block... to ride up into oblivion and then just roll off a ten story drop..on motorcycle. In front of a ba gillon people. Then the injection of gnarly adrenaline.
You can see him twitching his head at moments trying to nerve himself up.
Flat out ignores his fiance hugs everyone else instead... Cold. 🥶
Hello Friend how are you doing today
You raised the bar I have not forgot you ❤️☺️☺️
Wow 😳 mad respect u turned ur self in to my HERO .lost for words
Australian Legend. 😎
Hello Friend how are you doing
Can't believe that the truck did not have fuel injection, that's crazy. He definitely would have had a chance to ride it out if he had been able to power it out of the rollover. Much softer, deeper dirt for the landing would have helped prevent the "bounce" when it hit also.
Un oraș atât de miraculos și frumos😮😮
I remember watching this live. It’s still insane that he even attempted this. Anything could have gone wrong. Fukking nuts.
i think even 0.5 or 1kmh faster drop off speed and he would be dead
The reporter lady explains to the audience he cut his left hand on the brake lever... lol. Must be one of those automatic dirtbikes
And Jamie Little has experience with motocross, that’s embarrassing.
