As 2009 draws to a close, we take a look back at the standout moments of an incredible year, starting with Robbie Maddison's amazing motorcycle backflip over Tower Bridge in July.
Maddison become the first rider in history to take on London's iconic Tower Bridge on a motorbike. The 28-year-old Australian used the world famous landmark as a take-off and landing ramp as he cleared the gap above the Thames after the bridge had been raised.
With an approach speed of approximately 40 mph, Maddison took off from the north side of the bridge, performed a no-handed backflip, and held his landing in front of the south tower of one of the world’s most famous sights.
