I think his name was Rannie Madison. He ended up jumping it twice. Pretty cool to see but nothing like Metzger backflipping over the fountains at Caesars a few years back. Her is the link to Maddison's jump http://youtube.com/watch?v=pvqbo3cH_xA
Here is the "Godfather" Mike Metzgers backflip http://youtube.com/watch?v=4hwb-rsYqUA

It was a pretty tough jump. A cross wind almost messed him up on the second one. I watched it live on ESPN. He was doing about 90 mph when he hit the ramp. He was over 65' in the air at crest of his jump.

I did not brave the traffic for the New Years Eve jump. I was down on the strip entertaining my Mom when Metger backfliped the fountains. We waited two hours in the hot sun to see the two second jump.
