Robbie Maddison backflips the Tower Bridge in London

The early hours the morning saw Maddison become the first FMX rider in history to take on Tower Bridge on a motorbike. The 27 year-old Australian used the famous London landmark as a take-off and landing ramp as he cleared the gap above the Thames after the iconic bridge had been raised. With an approach speed of approximately 40 mph (64km/h), Maddison took off from the north side of the bridge, performed a no-handed backflip, and held his landing in front of the south tower of one of the World’s most famous sights.

Maddison will return to London on 22 August 2009 to take part in the final stop of the Red Bull X-Fighters World Tour 2009 at Battersea Power Station. Check it out LIVE on Freecaster.tv
