He accomplished the Largest Vertical Drop of 185 feet. In the process of doing this jump, Robbie added another world record to his name. Considering that Robbie has to land at 35 degrees, the team had to get a little creative. Watch the crew talk about carpeting the hill for the landing – it’s pretty amazing. Performing the jump any higher than -6 would be too hard on the wheels and bike. They figured that putting it at 0 would shoot him 65 feet in the air. The ski lift is -11, but in this stunt, it gets propped up to -6. To compensate for this difference, the team needed to heighten the take-off. One of the biggest differences is that the dirt bike drops when it launches instead of propelling forward as a ski jumper does. On average, a ski jumper hits 59 mph on a large hill and 65 mph on flying hills. Robbie’s speed at launch is 71 mph, just slightly faster than what a ski jumper would hit. In the video below, Sarah talks about how different it is to jump in skis compared to a dirt bike. She offered her advice and Matt McCaul, a ramp builder, made sure everything was ready for the big day.

His crew worked closely with Sarah Hendrickson, a professional ski jumper, to get this stunt together. No one will deny that Robbie is known for his crazy antics, but taking a dirt bike down an Olympic ski jump in Utah might just be the most insane. While we could probably do an entire article about the craziest dirt bike jumps from Robbie Maddison, we will include just one more. He was able to hit 61 feet to seal the deal for the Longest Distance Jump from Land to Water record. After that, the crew set him up to take a water jump record. Then, he smashed the Top Speed on a Waterbike when he hit 58 mph. He clocked 19.8 miles which took him just over 31 minutes to complete. He started by making history for the Longest Motorcycle Ride on Water. Thanks to the help of Samsung, he was able to add three more records to his name. This mind-blowing stunt is well worth the detour. If you haven’t seen the amazing feats he tackled on his “Water Bike” in Tahiti, make sure you check that out. This Australian stunt rider is nothing short of amazing and his stunts always blow us away. If we are going to discuss record-breaking dirt bike jumps, then it only makes sense to touch on what Robbie Maddison has done. We haven’t seen this attempt rescheduled yet, but if it does happen again the world will be watching. During preparations for that jump, he sustained a foot injury and canceled the event. There, Harvill planned to hit 105 mph, jump, and clear 426 feet.
