So - I guess most people won't have heard of Jean-Yves Blondeau (aka Rollerman)? Just by way of explanation - when I get bored, I sometimes trawl my way around YouTube - looking for things a little 'unusual'....and I found this... This guy looks like a computer nerd (well, maybe he is). He studies Industrial Design - and has invented a 'Roller Blade Suit' - which he explains in the first vid. Pretty neat... In the second, as he descends a Swiss Mountain pass at serious speeds (he's been clocked at 110kmh), with his nose about 5cm from the road - you realise he is also a seriously hardcore adreneline junkie. Amazing, fast, scary, fantastic - and awesome. Oh - and he probably wore through a complete set of wheels on that little trip. He's totally nuts:eek:...and I think he's bloody amazing! Enjoy.

There are a bunch of others on YouTube. Just type in 'Rollerman' or 'Buggy Rollin' if you want to check out any of them. One is a (very cheesy) Japanese (or possibly Korean) clip where he challenges a championship motorcyclist on a 600cc bike to a downhill race...
