When Robbie Maddison says he’s going to do something, you’d better believe him. Considered by many to be the modern-day Evel Knievel, the charismatic 34-year-old from Australia has successfully transitioned from pro motocross racer to freestyle star to stuntman and daredevil extraordinaire. Through the years, Maddo has captivated audiences around the world with his limitless courage and never-ending creativity, but his most recent endeavor, Pipe Dream, presented and produced by DC Shoes in association with Robbie Maddison Entertainment, takes everything to a whole new level and stretches the imagination.
As we’re wrapping up a photo shoot in Robbie’s front-yard FMX park, I can tell that Maddo has something on his mind—something by the way he stares into the distance with a glazed look on his face is a dead giveaway. “I’ve got something big in the works, mate,” he says. “I can’t really tell you about it, but it’s big. If you pay attention to my social posts, you’ll get an idea.” Scrolling through his Instagram, I discover a few posts that feature lakes and captions about testing. “Are you going to jump over a whole lake or something?” I ask. “No,” he answers with a laugh. “I’m going to ride on water.”

Yamalube/Star Racing/Yamaha’s Cooper Webb is one of the grittiest riders in the sport, and there’s never any doubt about the effort and aggression he puts forth on the racetrack. In his last year on a 250, Webb left nothing on the table and went out with a bang winning everything that there is to win in the class. We chatted with The Scrapper just before he headed to Italy to captain the United States Motocross of Nations team.
