Maddo Makes History by being First to Surf Teahupoo on a Motorcycle!!!
by Updated August 3, 2015

Robbie Maddison's "Pipe Dream" is now REALITY!!!

Up until now, the idea of riding a dirt bike on top of water seemed pretty far-fetched, however, Robbie Maddison decided to make his "Pipe Dream" reality by figuring out a way to ride his KTM 250 SX motorbike over water and eventually conquer one of the heaviest waves in the world -- Teahupoo, Tahiti. It took Robbie nearly two years to figure out how to surf his motorbike. But his determination paid off efforts paid off by becoming the first to ride the world famous waves at Teahupoo and Papara on his motorbike.

"It's not about being the first or being right, it's about believing in yourself because you know something is possible." - Robbie Maddison

"This was easily one of the most ambitious projects we've ever attempted to produce. Robbie is equally as visionary as he is talented on a dirt bike and we're happy to have enabled him to truly defy convention." - Jeff Taylor, DC Shoes Global Brand Leader

DC SHOES: ROBBIE MADDISON'S "PIPE DREAM"

DC presents Robbie “Maddo” Maddison’s “Pipe Dream,” giving the world a chance to witness history being made as Maddo rides his dirt bike on the powerful and iconic waves of Tahiti. From his helmet to motocross boots, Maddo was dressed for FMX when he took his dirt bike into the unchartered saltwater terrain of the Pacific Ocean in French Polynesia.

To celebrate Robbie Maddison's "Pipe Dream," DC Shoes has officially launched his new very own signature shoe called Maddo. The low-top cupsole shoe  has Maddo's signature M logo on the tongue and a DC logo on the side panel, and features a rugged suede and nubuck upper with breathable mesh quarter panels. These shoes are available at DCShoes.com, and fine retailers around the world.
