WOW TOWN — It's true, we love videos here at Have You Seen This? featuring motocross professionals pulling stunts and tricks that arguably no human should attempt.

From the first ever triple backflip to shenanigans on abandoned roller coasters, we just can't get enough. That being said, this video may top all of them combined and then some. Let me lay it out with a couple of questions:

Q1. Where do motocross tricks always take place?

A1. On land, on gear affixed to land or in the air.

Q2. Where do motocross tricks never take place?

A2. In water. (Unless the trick ends by landing in water.)

Apparently Robbie "Maddo" Maddison just couldn't accept that assumed reality, thus the appropriate named "Pipe Dreams," as you will see. The video features DC Shoes-sponsored Maddison — who we've featured on a Utah ski jump and in an airline graveyard on this site before. He does the seemingly impossible when he not only rides his motocross bike on top of water, but he catches a few waves in Tahiti to boot.

The video is a slow burner, so if you want to get straight to the surf-riding action, skip forward to the 2:15 mark to be amazed. However, the dramatic build up of the entire video is well worth the watch. When you're done watching, don't forget to make the appropriate comparisons to Maddison and the water-walking basilisk lizard too.
