Robbie Maddison (born July 14, 1981) is an Australian motorbike rider from the town of Kiama.

Growing up in Kiama Downs he developed his passion for riding through his father's business.

He finished school at Kiama High and took up a plumbing apprenticeship, before further following his passion for riding.

On December 31, 2007, (on the 40th anniversary of Evel Knievel jumping the fountains at Caesars Palace), Maddison broke the world motorcycle jumping record[1], traveling 322 feet, 7.5 inches (98.34 metres) on a motorbike. He repeated the event immediately afterwards, successfully landing the jump, as his fiancee Amy looked on. His second attempt, however, did not go as far as the first jump. Maddison was uninjured from either jump.(text wikipedia)
