Jean-Yves Blondeau is a rolling daredevil. He is the creator of the 32-wheel roller suit known as the Buggy Rollin. Blondeau rides his wheel suit down some of the most treacherous streets in the world. His most recent stunt took him down Tianmen Mountain, in Zhangjiajie, China— a steep 6-mile road that consists of no less than 99 hairpin turns! Check out a video of his amazing feat.
ROLLERMAN HAS CATAPULTED DOWN SOME OF THE WORLD’S MOST TREACHEROUS MOUNTAIN ROADS LIKE TIANMEN MOUNTAIN, AND THE FRENCH AND SWISS ALPS, AND HE HAS NARROWLY NAVIGATED THE TRAFFIC-PACKED STREETS OF SOUTH KOREA. CHECK OUT THE MAIN VIDEO FOR INCREDIBLE FOOTAGE!
EVOLUTION OF THE SUIT
The roller suit has gone through several iterations. He is on suit six, which places wheels similar to ones on rollerblades all over the body- particularly the joints, torso back, arms and legs. The 32 carefully placed wheels allows Rollerman to ride in multiple positions and reach speeds of up to 70 mph.
