World record holder Robbie Madison has become the first biker to backflip a motorcycle over Tower Bridge.

Madison, 27, performed the no-hands flip at 2:55am on Monday 13th July, making the flip over an open Tower Bridge, 100 feet above The Thames, before a textbook landing.

After landing the stunt, Madison 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.

"People say I'm crazy, but I just want to push the boundaries of my sport and my body to the limit - and I love taking on these huge challenges."

Was that an example of how to do a _perfect_ backflip?
THAT LANDING WAS FLAWLESS

Fack 'em and feed 'em catfish, bob.

repost bleaters are more annoying than the repost.

And there are so many pigeon holes in this site that it's likely a lot of people wont see it the first time anyway.
