Robbie Maddison - The Man Who Rides On Water

Humans are awesome. Aren't they? Every now and then we get to know about someone who writes his/her name in the book of history by doing something unbeatable and inspirational.

Recently, Robbie Maddison, a famous motorcycle stunt rider from Australia, was found riding his KTM 250 SX over the pristine waters of Teahupo'o in Tahiti, French Polynesia, Southern Pacific Ocean. It is the first time in the history that a man was seen riding instead of surfing or rowing, dodging and racing against the uncontrollable waves and unsteady movement of water.

The man was about to drown due to a ‘west bomb’ wave and thought of himself sinking in but due to the intelligent equipment and engineering done to the motorcycle, he was able to crack the code of riding on water. His stunt video christened as Pipe Dream has been sponsored by none other than DC shoes, who has always carried a positive image and attitude towards all types of stunts.

Being good at surfing made him wonder if he could ride a motorcycle on water and it seemed to him a stupid thought. But eventually, after so many designs and concepts, his vision became real. As he was surfing since eight, he had a great understanding of waves that helped him pull off the stunt well. Even the executive producer Jeff Taylor claimed it to be one of the most ambitious projects ever produced.

KTM 250 SX, which has been the companion of Robbie for the stunt, was bestowed with rubber skis, and the rear tyre worked as a propeller. He also says that it was as pleasant and seamless as it looked in the video.

We hope to see Robbie Maddison involving in more such stuff in future and keeps us stunning in the same way.
