I have ridden motorcycles for many years and done a lot on them. However, I have NEVER done what this guy did … SURFED on a motorcycle!
Robbie Maddison is a stunt rider from Australia who had a dream of surfing on his motocross bike. It took him two years of planning and designing to make his dream come true.
Robbie rode his motorcycle outfitted with a surfboard mounted around the bottom of the wheels out into a bay in Tahiti skimming across the waters of the Pacific Ocean. He also catches some world famous waves at Teahupoo and Papara.
Robbie revealed to Surfer Magazine that he legitimately thought he was going to die while performing this history making stunt.
Apparently I am not the only one amazed by this stunt. In the two days since the video was posted to YouTube it has been viewed over 8.6 million times! That is true viral video!!
I might ride that bike across the waters of a lake or bay. However, I would NEVER put myself on that bike in the pounding surf of a beach like he did!
