That looks crazy. He said he would be at Huntington Beach today riding during some pro contest. If I wasn't 2500 miles away I would definately be on my way there to check that out.

I wonder which bike he chose? I'd think a 2 stroke would be easier to pump the water out & run it again without damage when you sink it, but may not have the hp of a big 4 stroke to keep on plane?

It's hard to tell but it looks like a two stroke pipe on the left (our left) side.

Who said Kawasaki and Yamaha make the best Jet Skis.

KTM's just showing off now.

Maddo just went from Aussie Legend to Aussie God status. Even Jesus only walked on water.

It was a 250sx. Impressive to say the least.

I saw the video at the bar. I thought I had just had too much fireball. It's pretty radical, robbie just made surfing cool.

Thats a serious gamble with probably a 20k bike!!!!! If it stalls, you don't just turn it upside down and get the water out.....Its lost at sea......game over.......You swim for your life with a helmet and mx boots on.......Crazy stuff.

However, it got me thinking what if.....I used to ride jet skis and we would go out and jump waves, but you beat them to death doing this......No suspension. What if you could make some kind of motorcycle looking jet ski that had suspension and doesn't sink to the bottom when you fall.

Here's the explanation of how they managed to avoid losing the bike.
