Bad Ass, I wonder how many time the bike sank before getting the money shot?

Does he have ski's on the front wheels? They make it look like it's a standard bike.

In any case very cool!~

Wouldn't just one wipeout in salt water make the bike junk?

i corrected it for you

Very cool, love the idea.

He's actually riding in front of the wave, would love to see him IN the tube, not in front of it.

SPECTACULAR!!

wow, so awesome, best clip I've seen in a while. :thumbsup

I would be impressed if the bike wasn't on a board.

Wow,that was pretty cool

fucking gnarly.

reading the story, that guy should be dead. video is well-done.

Wow amazing video. And if you take a look he does have small ski on each side of the bike.

that is something, i was wondering how fast you have to go to float like that, and then i saw some modifications made to bike.

Many years ago I watched a snowmobile race on a river. It wasn't frozen. Middle of the summer.

They swapped out the standard treads for a different tread that had a cup looking paddle that would keep the snowmobile afloat when running. Pretty cool.

Saw an interview yesterday and he said he destroyed over 100 bikes.

breath taking!

Wow, that's a lot of fuck-up's. I wonder what it's like wiping out and finding yourself underwater in heavy surf wearing a helmet and racing boots.

This is really cool... :) Looks awesome I bet it feels like that also... :) :thumbsup

Impressive, but modified bike
 

Very impressive, but the bike was modified for the occasion. Anyway, cool stunt!

A buddy did this although his sled wasn't modified. Made it a bunch of times but eventually sank it about 12 feet down. Had to pay for divers to retrieve it. Tried to run it under warranty afterwards. Never heard how that went, but I think he went bankrupt shortly after and lost it anyway, along with his house. Fucking idiot. ( edit: he was just crossing a small lake, not racing down a river)

Thought the same, imagine the weight of that gear when it is soaked too. A though I imagine it wasn't regular motox gear.

looks amazing, great :thumbsup

They say drowning is the best way to go ...

that's why that guy should be dead now. he was wearing full gear. one of the takes he was not seen/underwater for several minutes.

:thumbsup

this is a first i think, never saw something like this, its fuckin' awesome
