| If Jesus walked on water, Aussie daredevil Robbie Maddison rides on high waves (Pipedream video below) |
Aussie daredevil stuntman Robbie Maddison has just amazed the world by riding his dirtbike on the high waves of Tahiti.
The 3.59 minute video uploaded on You Tube shows ‘Maddo’ speeding from serene land and marshy surroundings into the seas at breakneck speed, startling the surfers and kayakers that he whizzes past.
Released yesterday by DC Shoes, Maddo’s sponsors, the video is correctly named “Pipedream” and has gone viral.
In sixteen hours, it has notched up more than 2.58 million views.
Speaking to Surfer magazine, Maddo says he got the idea of attaching skis to his dirtbike while watching his wife wakeboard along a river.
While his surfing experience since being an eight-year old and technology helped, the ride was never a smooth experience.
“…When the wave broke right behind me, I honestly thought that might be the end of my life..” he told Surfer.
Robbie Maddison was the stunt double for Daniel Craig in James Bond movies.
