This is just spectacular in the extreme. Robbie Madison this New Year’s Eve doing a huge step-up style lob onto the top of the l’Arc de Triomphe. Then jumping off the other side (or rather dropping in) onto what looks like the world’s steepest landing ramp. How he holds it together is anyone’s guess… Why? Why the hell not? Can you imagine his dinner conversations? ‘What did you do today dear?’ ‘Well…’

I was watching that just after NYE and was amazed by the nerve it took to nosedive off the other side. Unfortunately Rhys Millen didn’t have the same luck trying to backflip a truck at the same event – he broke his back the last time he tried it, and landed off centre and rolled this time.
Holy Mother!!!!!!!
These FMX guys can never cease to amaze me! They’ve got some balls!
only in the states. lol.
screw heights man, id be scared shitless dropping back down.
Amazing! Just for the record: this is the 2/3 replica in vegas. But still amazing!
Yeah, sorry if that wasn’t clear – if you don’t know Paris, then the Eiffel Tower isn’t really 100ft from the l’Arc de Triomphe… still, I agree totally – it’s the drop-in that’s the killer…
Now do it on the REAL Arc De Triomphe.
Still, that was pretty mad. You could tell he was trying to put off dropping back down.
Wouldn’t you? I think I’d put it off.. until, say, I was 95 years old and wanted a spectacular final fling…or, er.. fall…
If only one could actually do this in france. pretty sure the frogs would just have a complete total freakout. they love them some monuments.
jesus christ! you could tell he was scaared shitless cuz at the end he just put his head down on his bike. wow. that was amazing.
balls of titanium…
