Watch This Daredevil Actually Surfing Big Waves On a Dirt Bike
Australian stunt rider Robbie Maddison surfs giant waves in Tahati on a specially-built motorcycle that lets him ride on water.

Riding a motorcycle over breaking ocean waves may sound like an impossible fantasy to surfers and bikers alike, but Australian stunt rider Robbie Maddison makes it a dream come true with his specially-built wave-walking dirt bike.

He's featured in the video below — "Robbie Maddison's Pipe Dream" — racing through Tahiti's jungle on the motocross bike before hitting the water and going full throttle toward giant waves he uses to surf back to shore.

The bike screams across the surface of the water using paddled wheels jutting through skids beneath the motorcycle, but really, it's years of skill and nerves of steel that power this ride.
