Maddison performs world's first indoor motorcycle drop-in

Aussie stunt sensation enters Sydney venue in style

Tweet
Posted: 30 November 2010
by Tim Skilton .


ROBBIE MADDISON has pulled off another seemingly impossible motorcycle stunt - this time dropping almost 60 feet from a level platform into Sydney's Acer Arena.

The Crusty Demons Australian daredevil pulled off the world’s first indoor drop-in on a motorcycle at the Thirst 4 Destruction Tour finale on Saturday November 27.

Maddison, who cut off his cast to take part in the Brisbane show last weekend, has been undergoing extensive treatment for a wrist injury, which has prevented him from riding up until now.

“I am stoked to be putting my all-time gnarliest stunt into a live show,” Maddison said on Crusty Demon's website.

“When I joined the tour I wanted to bring something new to the fold and now I am finally getting to do it in Sydney.

“While the drop is scaled down slightly to fit indoors, it is the same odds and I haven’t attempted anything like it since Vegas in 2008.

“I will be doing this one full Evel Knievel style - throwing it all on the line and just doing it on the night,” he concluded.
