[Cool Stunt] Motocross star Robbie Maddison performs a backflip over Tower Bridge *NEW



"So how cool is this...damn i missed it..no fair..lol..but i would of been in La La land at this time of the morning..lol..great stunt "



[The Tower of London’s iconic lifting road bridge was open for passing ships yesterday morning but that did not stop an Australian motorcyclist crossing the Thames in style.

Robbie Maddison, a stunt rider, raced up one side of the raised bridge and flew through the air 100ft above the water. He performed a no-handed backflip before landing safely on the south side of the bridge.

The 27-year-old became the first person to leap the 25ft gap between spans at 2.55am yesterday. “The whole experience was awesome,” he said.

“We had a matter of minutes on the bridge and had to time everything to the second — there were so many factors to get right, but we pulled it off.
“It was an incredible feeling to fly between the two towers and over the Thames.”]
