Pipe Dream II


Forming a company and designing craft to sell is a fool's errand compared to moving on water like this and getting paid by Red Bull to do it...  and in Tahiti as I recall.

It's a power-hungry project compared to my own dubious efforts, but the difference is ~ it works.

But only to a point, however. The wheels are supplemented by hydro-skis and the rear tire is more like something off a pedallo than anything you'd want to run on the road.

With western civilisation advancing now along the same road that Rome ran when its thoughts turned to circuses, however, this is as good as it gets.

(Robbie Maddison is from Australia... we in Britain prefer the pedallo).
