Think you can’t surf on a motorcycle? Think again. Australian stunt rider Robbie Maddison achieved the feat on a Tahitian wave, and was “fully terrified� the whole time. Maddison said “pretty drastic changes� had to be made to the motorcross bike, to enable it for surfing and prevent the release of fuel into the water. Despite the success of the stunt – the video of which has had over 15 million views in one week – Maddison said it “came with lots of challenges�. “It was terrifying knowing I had all this baggy clothing weighing me down… I can’t even imagine what could’ve gone wrong,� he said. This clip is originally from the 5 live Hit List on Sunday 10 August 2015.
