Never before has anything like this been expected to be seen. Such a stunt performed by a well-known stuntman from Australia who lives ‘a pipe dream’ as he catches a wave and cruises the tube without getting –washed-out’… while all the while riding a cross-country motor bike.
Robbie Maddison, a 35-year-old stuntman just ‘notched’ up attention to the type of work he does and what he dreams of doing. The ‘guts ’he carries are second to none. His love for the cross-country bikes can be seen with the stunts he had performed on bike tracks. This recent feat was incredible, fitting ski-like parts to the bike and riding it on land, in swamps in the ocean and catching ‘monster’ waves…riding waves without being ‘wiped-out’.
In 2010, Maddison trained to jump 278 feet (85 meters in length and 85 meters deep) as he attempted, and successfully jumped over the Isthmus at Corinth Greece.
