We had a hard time turning away from the train wreck that was CNN's New Year's Eve celebration, but finally we landed on ESPN to watch Robbie Maddison jump his motorcycle more than 120 feet in the air and land on top of a 96-foot-tall replica of the Arc de Triomphe in Las Vegas. And that was only half of the jump. Then he dropped off the Arc and fell more than 50 feet to a massive landing ramp below. Holy shit! Our asses are still puckered up from watching this stunt, and trust us, we’ve done some pretty sweet jumps in our day.

Highlights: Well, the jump. But also the laughable digital recreations of “what would happen if Robbie doesn’t make his mark” that preceded the jump. If he comes up short? He’s dead. If he jumps too far? He’s dead. If he gets a mid-air boner. He's dead!
Low point: His freaked out girlfriend. Will someone please give her some Valium next time?
