To Feature Record-Setting
Jumps by Action Sports Stars Robbie Maddison and Rhys Millen at the Rio
All-Suite Hotel & Casino parking lot-turned-action sports venue
The Red Bull Experiment will take the scientific method to a whole new
level, testing the limits of the unknown this New Year’s Eve! As the
clock approaches 2008, sports fans will get the chance to see two
record-setting jumps during ESPN’s live New Year. No Limits telecast.
New Year. No Limits will feature action sports stars Robbie Maddison
and Rhys Millen performing two Red Bull Experiments: Maddison, a
freestyle motocross star from Australia, will attempt to jump the
length of a football field to set a new motorcycle distance jumping
world record and Millen, a champion drifter and movie stunt driver
hailing from New Zealand, will attempt the first-ever back-flip of an
off-road racing truck. Representatives from the Guinness Book of World
Records will be in attendance to validate each jump.
The first jump will air in Part One of the broadcast from 8:15 - 9:30
p.m. PT. The next jump will take place during Part Two, from 11:00 p.m.
- 12:30 a.m. PT.
**Both Red Bull Experiments will be aired live on ESPN’s New Year. No
Limits broadcast on Monday, December 31, immediately following coverage
of the Chick-fil-A Bowl.
Tickets for the public to witness the Red Bull Experiment may be
purchased for $12 (includes fees & taxes), starting December 3 at
www.newyearnolimits.com or the Rio box office or at 702-777-7776.
Day-of tickets will be available as well.
