Maddison, LaVallee to try side-by-side jumps

SAN DIEGO -- What's better than one daredevil flying through the sky on New Year's Eve?

How about two.

Robbie Maddison and Levi LaVallee will make side-by-side attempts to break world records for the longest motorcycle and snowmobile jumps in the latest edition of the Red Bull: New Year. No Limits. series

The concurrent jumps will be over a 300-foot water gap at Embarcadero Marina Park on San Diego Bay.

LaVallee of Longville, Minn., was scheduled to attempt his snowmobile jump last New Year's Eve in snowless San Diego but was seriously injured in a crash during training two weeks earlier.

Maddison wants to jump 400 feet, which would shatter the current record of 391 feet. LaVallee wants to break his record of 361 feet, set hours before his big wipeout.
