Maddison confirms Sydney ‘drop-in'
The finale of the Crusty Demons Thirst 4 Destruction Tour will see the Aussie pay homage to one of his famous New Year's Eve tricksCrusty Demon Robbie Maddison has confirmed he will attempt the world’s first indoor drop-in on a motorcycle at the ‘Thirst 4 Destruction Tour’ finale at Acer Arena on Saturday, November 27.
Maddison, who cut off his cast to take part in the penultimate Brisbane show last weekend, has been undergoing extensive treatment for a wrist injury, which has prevented him from riding up until now.
The drop-in pays homage to Maddison’s incredible record-breaking New Year’s Eve stunt where he jumped 37m to land on top of a replica of the Arc de Triomphe before freefalling to a landing ramp.
“I am stoked to be putting my all-time gnarliest stunt into a live show,” Maddison said.
“When I joined the tour I wanted to bring something new to the fold and now I am finally getting to do it in Sydney.
“While the drop is scaled down slightly to fit indoors, it is the same odds and I haven’t attempted anything like it since Vegas in 2008.
“I will be doing this one full Evel Knievel style -- throwing it all on the line and just doing it on the night.”
The stunt will see Maddison drop 20m from a suspended platform down to the floor.
Maddison will be joined by fellow FMX stars including Mike Metzger, Seth Enslow, Adam Jones, Mike Mason, Adam Jones, Beau Bamburg and Taka Higashino.
The Aussie contingent includes the front-flipping Jackson Strong, the Harley-Davidson back-flipping Kain Saul, Emma McFerran, Steve Mini, Matt Schubring and Joel Balchin.
Tickets to the final show are available at ticketek.com.au or by phoning 132 849.
