Red Bull New Year No Limits - 2008

2008

The 2008 New Year No Limits jump once again featured Maddison, and this time the off-road attempt to backflip a truck by Millen was once again on the plan, with the popular Kiwi racer on the docket on the undercard before the motorcycle jump.

At 8:30 PM PT, Millen performed the backflip on the truck, launching at 36 MPH, traveled 80 feet at a height of 50 feet, and landed hard on all four wheels before the truck then rolled.

Shortly after the stroke of the new year in the Eastern time zone (about 35 minutes later), Maddison successfully connected on a ten-story high jump landing on top of a replica of the Arc de Triomphe at a Las Vegas casino. While that was successful, he lacerated his left hand on the ensuing 60' drop.
