The video below from ESPN shows Robbie Maddison’s new Year’s eve jump UP and the DOWN a building, a replica of the Arc de Triomphe, in Las Vegas.
The stunt was equivalent to jumping on to a 10-storey apartment building.
Jumping off the building meant going into free fall on the motor cycle before hitting the ramp below!
An athlete and motorcycle stunt rider, Maddison has been riding motor cycles since he was about four years old.
He says that he does jumps like these to confront his own fears.
How do you confront your fears?
