As I’m sure you all saw live on ESPN, or at least heard about, Robbie Maddison set a new world record on New Year’s Eve! 322 feet 7 1/2 inches is the new mark to beat, but we’re betting that Maddo will be the one beating his own record real soon. In fact, after breaking the record on the first jump, Maddo went for a second one, this time hoping to go even further! He went about 350′ during practice so he knew he could go even bigger. Unfortunately Mother Nature wasn’t cooperating and a slight head wind didn’t let him get the speed needed to best the 322′ mark. The wind that kicked up also blew him to the left, a little sketchy for the guys on the landing, but Maddo landed it smooth as butter.
After that close call Maddo called it a night and settled with the new record. All that work payed off and, after a little time talking with media, it was time to unwind and party in the new year at the Red Bull party and then hit some clubs–just like Evil would have done it! Maddo, congrats from your Mulisha family…we’re pumped for you!
