VISTA, CA – Congratulations to DC Moto athlete Robbie Maddison who completed his latest stunt jumping 279 feet over the Corinth Canal in Greece. He is the first person to successfully complete a jump of this kind over the canal. Check out pictures and video from the jump now right here.
“It’s an amazing feeling to put it all on the line and jump over a gap that gnarly,” said Robbie. “I know it could have been my worst nightmare if things went wrong, but thanks to DC and Red Bull, we did it right. So stoked I made it.”
The Corinth Canal jump is the latest record-breaking jump for the 28-year old freestyle motocross athlete. He rang in 2009 by setting the world record for a distance moto jump when he jumped his motorcycle to the top of the Arc De Triomphe at the Paris Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, NV. But the thrills didn’t stop there, in July Robbie headed across the Atlantic where he did a no-handed backflip over the Tower Bridge in London, England.
Next up for Robbie is the season opener of the 2010 Red Bull X Fighters competition on April 16th in Mexico City, Mexico. For more on Robbie and DC’s motocross team visit http://www.dcshoes.com/moto.
