Levi LaVallee, Robbie Maddison Clear New Year's Eve Jump

Levi LaVallee and
Robbie Maddison put on quite a show on New Year's Eve, jumping
their respective snowmobile and motorcycle more than 300 feet over
a water gap in San Diego Harbor. The two riders cleared the jump
with room to spare, with LaVallee breaking a world record.
LaVallee, who injured himself last year preparing for the same
stunt, shattered his own world record of 361 feet by jumping his
snowmobile 412 feet. The 50-foot improvement shocked spectators, as
the snowmobile actually ended up outjumping the motorcycle, which
most didn't expect.
It was slightly disappointing for Maddison, who was hoping to go
400 feet and break the world record of 391. Maddison ended up
jumping 378 feet on the bike, which was officially a personal best
for the rider but shy of the record. Maddison said that he had
broken the 391-feet mark in unofficial jumps before the actual
stunt. The daredevil said he planned on making some changes to his
bike and trying again in the near future.
Thick fog rolled in before the planned stunt, which some thought
might cause complications with the jump. In the end, both riders
made it safely across and entertained a worldwide audience on New
Year's Eve.
