Red Bull Experiment for New Years Eve

27/11/2007

The Red Bull Experiment is to mark New Year’s Eve in Las Vegas this year. Two motor sports personalities, Robbie Maddison and Rhys Millen will test the limits of the unknown at the Rio All Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, by performing two ground-breaking feats.

Maddison, a freestyle motocross star from Australia, will attempt to jump the length of a football field (more than 300 feet) to set a new motorcycle distance jumping world record. Millen, a champion drifter and movie stunt driver hailing from New Zealand, will attempt the first-ever back flip of an off-road racing truck. Representatives from the Guinness Book of World Records will be in attendance to validate each jump.

"I have ridden dirt bikes for over 20 years - this is what I do!" said Maddison. "All the success and injuries over the years have molded me into someone who wants to achieve the biggest feat on a motorcycle ever."

"In my extreme world of motor sports and stunts, pushing the limits is a way of life," said Millen. "Being the first to back flip a truck ramp to ramp is the ultimate high."
