JUST IN: DETAILS ON 2ND, 3RD NEW YEAR’S EVE STUNTS IN VEGAS
Vegas Confidential has confirmed that a total of three daredevil stunts will be held on New Year's Eve in Las Vegas.
Aussie Robbie Maddison, who set world record motorcycle leap of 322 feet and 7 1/2 inches in March, will need more finesse than horsepower for this one. He will attempt to soar more than 120 feet high and land on the top of the 96-foot-high and 40-foot-wide Arc de Triomphe replica in front of Paris Las Vegas.
That's only the half of his stunt. Upon landing on top of the monument, he will then freefall 50 feet to a massive landing ramp below.
The other component to the Red Bull: New Year, No Limitsaction will feature New Zealander Rhys Millen and his attempt to become the first person to complete and land a backflip in an off-road truck. That location has not been announced.
Also scheduled, Robbie Knievel's previously confirmed jump over the Mirage volcano, as part of a Fox TV special.
