Australian stuntman Robbie Maddison surfs the waves of Tahiti on his dirt bike
In one of the more what-the-fuck moments of 2015 so far, Australian stunt biker Robbie Maddison – who rides FMX for DC – has added some sort of ski contraption to his bike and surfed (yes, SURFED) the waves of Tahiti in a new video entitled ‘Pipe Dream’.
Apparently ‘Maddo’, as he’s appropriately named, has been making ‘surfing on a motorbike a reality’ for two years now – culminating in this video shot at famous breaks Teahupoo and Papara.
What’s next? Rollerskating down Everest? Hope so.
