Robbie 'Maddo' Maddison has broken distance records launching over a football field on live television on ESPN. He's soared over the San Diego Bay alongside snowmobiler Levi LaValle. He's jumped across an open Tower Bridge in London, incorporating a backflip for good measure. Throughout it all, Robbie has somehow found time to earn medals at X Games and Red Bull X-Fighters.
Then, in 2015, after several years of planning and preparation, he surfed his dirt bike on the legendary Tahitian wave, Teahupo’o. “My goals are to transform what is perceived to be the norm,” Robbie says. “I want to take things to new heights and push boundaries.”
That boundary-pushing achievement in French Polynesia saw him combine his two major passions – stunt riding and surfing – into his groundbreaking DC Pipe Dream. He'd already conquered riding on land and through the air, but this project involved maneuvering his bike on the waves of the ocean. Yes, he actually managed to ride on water.
Since then, Robbie has teamed up with Tyler Bereman (in 2019) to beat the LA traffic in Duct Out and (also in 2019) he was back on the water – this time with Aaron Colton – in Rippin' Mykonos.
Robbie's also ridden the canals of Holland on his way to Red Bull Knock Out and on snow with Darren Berrecloth in Powder Hounds.
