Meet The New Evil Knievel

While most people were out enjoying their favorite New Years Eve beverages, Robbie Maddison was attempting to make history. All he wanted to do was break the world record for the longest motorcycle jump in history.

The record stood at 310 feet and 4 inches. Maddison’s goal was to go about 360 feet. He fell short of his goal but was still able to break the record as he went an amazing 322 feet and 7 1/2 inches.

After the first jump, he wasn’t satisfied and announced to the crowd he was going to try again. Unfortunately, he only went 320 feet the second time. Still an amazing feat nonetheless.

Here are Maddison’s jumps:
