Double The Fun At This Year's "Red Bull: New Year"

"Red Bull: New Year. No Limits" has been one of the more
entertaining pieces of New Year's Eve programming since the
program's inception in 2007, when Robbie Maddison jumped his
motorcycle over a football field in Las Vegas. The stunts have
gotten crazier in each subsequent year, but the series had a hiccup
last year when snowmobile rider Levi LaVallee was injured while
training for his long jump stunt - just hours after he broke the
world record in practice.
The 2010 special may have been cancelled, but the series is back
for this year with double the fun. LaVallee is back to try his jump
live again, and he'll be joined by Maddison, who is looking to jump
even further than he did in the first special. The two will be
concurrently attempting a 300-foot jump over a water gap in San
Diego Bay, although both are shooting for much longer than that.
LaVallee hopes to break his own world record of 361 feet, while
Maddison is aiming for 400 on his motorcycle, which would best the
current record of 391.
"Jumping long distances is a passion of mine, and I'm excited to
come back for New Year's Eve and sail over San Diego Harbor," said
Maddison. "400 feet is my goal. It's not all about getting the
world record to me, it's more about understanding this feat and the
commitment ahead to achieving what most would consider an
impossible jump."
