Maddison heading to Sydney Motorcycle Show

One of Australia's greatest motorcycle stuntman Robbie Maddison has been confirmed as a special guest at the 2015 Sydney Motorcycle Show presented by InsureMyRide at Sydney Olympic Park on November 20-22.

Maddison, who holds the world record for the longest distance ever jumped on a motorcycle is back on Australian soil for the first time since what was arguably his most daring project yet – DC Shoes Pipe Dream, in which he rode a modified dirtbike on a huge wave at Teahupoo in Tahiti.

The 34 year old from Kiama, who was Daniel Craig’s stunt double in the Bond film Skyfall said he looked forward to meeting visitors at the Sydney Motorcycle Show: "It is awesome to be back home in Sydney after a massive year and the completion of DC Shoes Pipe Dream," Maddison said.

"I'm really looking forward to connecting with all the Aussie fans at the Sydney Motorcycle Show. It is one of my favourite events."

The modern-day Evel Knievel will be a special guest at the Sydney Motorcycle Show on Friday 20th and Saturday 21st November.

Maddison’s feats include jumping the opened Tower Bridge in London, leaping 300 feet across the Corinth Canal in Greece, jumping up and down the Arc de Triomphe in Las Vegas and navigating his motorcycle through an Olympic bobsled course in Utah.

Event Organiser Troy Bayliss said he was excited to confirm Maddison’s participation in the Sydney Motorcycle Show.

"Robbie Maddison is without a doubt one of the most sought after athletes in the world at the moment so we are honoured to have him as our special guest at the Sydney Motorcycle Show," said Bayliss.

"He lays claim to some incredible feats that will very likely never be repeated again."
