The last time you went to a water park, were you able to gather your wits and get on to a speed slide? Imagine going through such a speed slide at more than 100kmph and getting hurled into the air, on a motorcycle. Seems scary, doesnt it? Well, not for Robbie Maddison. While most of us might chicken out even with a mention of speed slides and ramps, freestyle motocross rider Robbie has entered the record books by riding off an Olympic size ski jump, at Utah.
