Imaginative and impressive for sure.
Couple of issues though; first being rust, and second - how the heck would you retrieve the bike if it toppled over? |

when i first saw that on the news add, i thought that it must be a trick, and that no way that this could happen. but it is ture.
this guy has just started a new out door sporting craze. cool automatic inflating air bags activated by a mercury switch, safety cord attached to the rider? could save the bike. make most of it out of stainless or aluminium for corrosion protection.

'No bikes were harmed in the creation of this video'
Wonder what they did with the air intake?

Guys have been going across the top of lakes on normal dirt bikes with enough speed built up for years. Can't just trek out to sea like this chap though.

They used 5 bikes, all cleaned out every time they sunk. Robbie broke an ankle, Shoulder injury (plus more- he's tough as!). Plus a 4-5 minute experience in full gear, being dragged underwater in a wave. He said it all started going white, so close to drowning.
He definitely pushes the boundaries, doesn't he? |
