This looks fairly insane, but it also looks like great fun. If you had the opportunity to do it, would you? I think I'd go for it. Incredible! I
guess it's called "body blading". I know it's not an "auto" but thought it belonged in this forum. I could be wrong.
My husband and I were talking about the physical training that would go into something like this! His body has to be in top form to control all the
little movements necessary to keep him ON the road!
And the wheels probably last one trip. Especially the braking wheels! I wonder what they're made of. You wouldn't want to lose a brake wheel on one
of those outside corners! LOL
ha! i love this vid, seen it loads but i have to watch it everytime its posted somewhere, i always wonder how it must feel when overtaking bikes and
cars. crazy...
i love the way he scrubs the speed off for tighter corners, being that low to the ground and exposed must make it seem like a hundred miles an hour
top speed run at over 60 mph!!!! :
there are some more videos on youtube, its called body blading or buggy rollin and the suit was made by a french man called Jean-Yves Blondeau.
oh and i really really want one lol en.wikipedia.org...
heres a link with some more info and some more vids: www.lifeinthefastlane.ca...
no problem, the suit looks an amazing bit of engineering, most comments on the various vids are people asking where they can buy one lol! i used to
roller-boot years ago, think im going to have a look on ebay and have a go again...
thanks to benevolent heretic for posting the vid, its one of my faves!
i saw a bit on tv about this guy last night, i cant remember what the channel or program was as i was at a friends house, it showed him skating round
paris annoying pedestrians lol.
it mentioned that he was going to start selling the suits!
