Gnarly Gnu Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Assuming this is legit not sure how the engine handles the water? "Stunt rider Robbie “Maddo” Maddison had a “pipe dream” — literally. He dreamed of taking his dirt bike off road and onto the waves. For two years, he’s been in the process of fine-tuning a bike with specialized wheels that could do just that."

PA. Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 A Paddle rear tyre and some skis and what appears to be a life jacket strapped to the tank. Suspect it may have been an inflating life jacket with an auto inflate system. [ATTACH]47687._xfImport[/ATTACH] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Litespeed Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Apparently Robbie used up 40 bikes and or rebuilds to get this trick done. And almost drowned a few times. He went 2 stroke for lightness and ease of rebuild when soaked in brine. More patience, money and balls than me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff13 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Surprised he didn't just put a Rotax in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly_tornado Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 stunt riders always use 2 strokes, mostly because of weight and you can invert them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff13 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Yes but if he had put the three cylinder Rotax Seadoo motor in it he could have solved a myriad of problems before he started. Yes he thought outside the square but he never got outside the circle. Still and all a bloody good effort and I would love a 30 minute session on it.
