Moving at speeds at over 300 km/h on two wheels could be considered as plenty of adrenalin, however Dani Pedrosa was looking for a different thrill in Los Angeles this week prior to the Red Bull U.S. Grand Prix.

The Repsol Honda competitor had a surfing lesson from Red Bull sponsored surfer Levi Siver at Sunset Beach, spending time picking up tips of the water sport which he seemed to excel at.

Following, Pedrosa then arrived to Universal Studios where he was united by baseball squad San Francisco Giants’ pitcher Tim Lincecum, the pair encountered a skydiving lesson in a wind tunnel with Red Bull Air Force member Sean MacCormac.

“It was great, something really different to what I’m used to! It was good fun to join Red Bull for this and I was very happy to. When you have new experiences and new friends it’s always nice and I really enjoy doing this kind of thing. It was also my first time ever surfing, so very cool!” says Pedrosa.

“With the waves and the air it’s totally different to racing a bike because there is no ground! The wave is always changing, so it is very different. I have done some windsurfing at home but the air tunnel I have never tried before. I really enjoyed both.”

After a win in Germany last weekend, Pedrosa’s now looks to attempting his first back-to-back victories in the premier session.

“We did so well at the last race in Germany so I’m looking forward to this one. Last year we did well here at Laguna and I just hope to keep the momentum,” he adds.
