Re: When walking on water gets boring!

Would not like to get that bike at a used bike auction...LOL

I can't help but wonder if they went through a few bikes making that. I mean, dip the front end a bit and its an endo. ;) Last I checked, they won't float either...

Still, impressive what can be done. :)

I saw somewhere...see if I can find the article...they sunk the bike 5 or 6 times during the whole project. Mechanic said each time was about 5 hours of work to get it up and running again.

The bike sank in the last wave in the video. The auto-surfacing mechanism didn't fire until an hour later. If you look at the chain in the video, it's super rusted.

Either way, freaking ridiculous.

SO glad I clicked on that. Robbie is unbelievable and fearless. Had he stuffed it up at the base of Teahupoo, he would have been swimming for his life with Tech10's on and a helmet twisted around his head. Stupidity has no limits.

Pretty cool. Wouldn't be interested in doing it myself, but that guy gets to do amazing things on a bike.

The article I read said that including during development, they sunk the bike 30 times!
