The eyes of the world will be on Calder Park in Melbourne on Saturday 29 March 2008 when Robbie Maddison represents the green and gold and takes on Americans Seth Enslow and Ryan Capes for the longest distance ever jumped on a motorbike at the Crusty Demons Night of World Records presented by Rockstar Energy Drink.
Cam Sinclair from the Melbourne suburb of Pearcedale is one of the standout riders on the Crusty Demons tour and is the Dual King of the Coast and 2007 Australian FMX Championship winner.
He has been training hard for what promises to be one of the most spectacular record attempts on the night when he will attempt to claim the longest back flip on a motorbike ramp to ramp.
The world record for this death-defying trick currently stands at 125 feet and is held by the ‰ÛÏGodfather‰Ûª of FMX, Mike Metzger. Metzger sensationally set the record as part of the launch for Mission Impossible 3 where he back flipped ramp to ramp over the fountain at Caesar‰Ûªs Palace, Las Vegas as it was televised live on ESPN in 2006.
‰ÛÏIt really is an honour to be attempting to break a record set by Metzger. He is one of the biggest legends in our sport,‰Û
