Who Says You Can’t Dirt Bike on Water [Video]

I have an eighteen year old nephew who is introducing me to all the "air sports". He is keeping me up-to-date on long boarding, motor cross, wind sailing and such. All the sports that seem to be thriving in this new generation of athletes. Yes, my nephew has played hockey, baseball and soccer. All sports I am well acquainted with, but when he hit the "Tweens" he picked up a long board and never looked back.

He has made you tube videos of him and his friends boarding everywhere. I thought my heart was in my mouth the first time he raced a sail boat and it capsized, that paled in comparison to the more recent adventures he has been on. Thankfully he is a smart kid and understands safety. He always says he wants to be around to keep doing it. I am actually impressed with how cautious he is because you assume that people who do these sport are thrill seekers. But he always reminds me they are athlete too.

So when I saw this footage of a dirt bike surfing my first go to wasn't "is he crazy" it was instead "Wow, what an athlete". Maybe not a favorite for you more traditional sports lovers but remember a lot of these guys enjoy golf as well.

So who is the man who surfed on a dirt bike. Meet Robbie Maddison. Robbie is a 34 year old Australian motor bike stunt rider, nicknamed Maddo. Enjoy this amazing mini movie made to show you just how Robbie did it and I think it goes without saying leave this to the professionals, don't try this at home.
