Robbie Maddison Tower Bridge Backflip

Robbie Maddison is one of the worlds biggest stars of motorcross and a member of the Red Bull X Fighters.

In the early hours of this morning he performed one of his most daring stunts yet – a no handed backflip over London’s Tower Bridge.

“The whole experience was awesome,” said the 27-year-old Australian

“We had a matter of minutes on the bridge and had to time everything to the second – there were so many factors to get right, but we pulled it off”

“It was an incredible feeling to fly between the two towers and over the Thames”

Here’s a few more pictures plus a short video of Robbie’s Tower Bridge backflip.
