Australian stuntman Robbie Maddison rode into the new year when he launched his Yamaha motocross bike up a giant ramp, flew 37 metres through the air and landed on top of a replica of the Arc de Triomphe in a gravity-defying feat in Las Vegas.

The stunt was equivalent to jumping onto a 10-storey apartment building.

After landing safely, Maddison, 27, of Kiama, on the South Coast, took his death-defying stunt further, by dropping off the Arc de Triomphe and free-falling onto a landing ramp below.

Tens of millions of TV and internet viewers around the world looked on.
