Dragon Eyewear Team Rider, Robbie Maddison Sets Jump World Record!
Dragon Team Rider Robbie Maddison
Dragon's Robbie Maddison leapt into the record books New Years eve. Maddison shattered the old motorcycle distants record of 277 feet by jumping his CR500 322 feet 7.5 inches at the the Rio Casino in Las Vegas.
"I came here to jump a football field," said Maddison. "Conditions weren't perfect, but I'm happy with the result. Yesterday in rehearsal, I went 350 feet and I knew 360 feet was achievable. We did all we could, but the winds played a bigger factor than we planned. But this is called the Red Bull Experiment, and we didn't know what the outcome would be. I just want to thank everyone that made this jump possible and a big thanks to all the fans who came out to support me. This is just the beginning."
Dragon Eyewear is stoked to have this madman on the team!
