Robbie Madison
Just before new years I got to go out to the Redbull compound and watch Robbie practice for his New Year's Eve jump. If you missed it, go to youtube and search for it as it was crazy. This was my first time meeting Robbie, who was super cool and humble. Toshi from Redbull brought me to the secret location and it was quite the treat. This is the the company you want to be sponsored by for any creative project you come up with as an athlete. They back their athletes to the fullest.
You will see from the pictures how crazy this jump is. My hands were sweating just standing on top of this 100ft platform. AT about 3ft back from the edge you couldn't even see the landing as it was so far down. A few feet too far and you would land flat and die. Robbie nailed it every time I was there.
