Robbie Maddison does it again! He managed to jump over the 83 meters / 279 feet Corinth Canal in Greece. During the jump, he attained a height of almost 100 meters of 330 feet above the Canal. The 28 year old Australian daredevil rode his modified Honda 500 through a turn-filled approach past a pool, across a soccer field and past a chicken coop to a speed of 78 mph or 125km/h on Thursday. Maddison has always been known for his jumping events. Previously, in 2007 and 2008 he set three world records for motorcycle distance jumping all the way to 350 feet. On December 31, 2008, he celebrated New Year’s Eve in Las Vegas by jumping up 100 feet onto the Arc de Triomphe in front of Paris Las Vegas and then descended off the monument to ground level. And ofcourse, last year, images of Maddison backflipping the Tower Bridge over the Thames River in London while the drawbridge was open went around the world.
