Lets not forget the off-road truck backflip attempt.

He pulled the jump of rather easily, or so it appreared. Jump was freaking huge. He was 60ft. in the air at his highest point. I've hit some huge jumps before, in the 130-140 ft. range, about 20-25 ft. in the air, and I just can't imagine being 60ft. high, and going 322' 7-1/2". And for the hell of it, he jumped a second time. :shock: :cool:

The bike was an '07 Service Honda CR500AF. It sucked that they chose to do the animated description of the bike instead of actual footage.

I became an instant fan when Maddison said he was going to jump it again. Unreal! (insert smilie of a guy with really, really big balls here)

I was at an old friends house the other day (Dewayne Jones) and met this guy named Bird there. Pretty cool guy - does the distance jumping like Trigger and Maddo, just lacks the corporate sponsorship. He claimed to have already jumped 345' successfully. All that and did it on a 03 CR250. Anyone heard of this guy? Here is a link to his page:

Although the vids dont show 345' there is a comment from someone stating it.
