OTHER STUFF:
In 2005, Maddo set two distance world records at that year's Crusty Demons Night of World Records. First he jumped 221 feet on his 125cc bike. His second World Record was the one that left the 25,000 person crowd in awe and tears. He jumped his Honda CR250cc a spectacular 246 feet doing a massive heart attack.
