    Robbie Maddison is famous for stunts like jumping his bike over a football field and back flipping over the opened Tower Bridge in London and and acted as the stunt-double for Daniel Craig in James Bond films. Riding his bike across waves was his most ambitious stunt yet and took two years of preparation.

    With the help of his sponsors DC Shoes and his daredevil will he managed to shoot a commercial that showcased his superhuman skill at beautiful Tahiti Island.



    They actually rigged up his KTM dirt bike with floaty things and made his rear tyre act like some sort of propeller blades. The three and a half minutes long video shows Maddison tackling the humongous waves of French Polynesia.

        Two years! Man I can't seem to keep my mind on anything for two days, except for idle observations.

        Bike has modifications to float, and he stays on rear-end to prevent motorcycle from nose-diving.

            Even I can do that(in my dreams only)!
            I mean how can it even be possible to perform the stunt!
            A bike on the road is worth two in the shed.

                      Absolutely incredible and it goes quite fast like water scooter. It's purely his skill which keeps it on water because if the front paddle attached to front wheel goes under water it just keeps going down and there is no escape.

                          nice, superb, a lot of riders have tried riding a motorcycle on water, in the past, and some were successful, including guy martin, i guess, but doing it in sea is taking it to a whole new level.
