Buggy Rollin

For tv show we made speed record . Early morning 4 am. No Authorization . Just pushing with legs, hold position, and follow gravity . Speed Record 126 kmh measured by GPS.

Long story

With Danny Strasser, we had a proposal from stern Tv to make a new show. They wanted something new because Jean Yves was already on the show in 1997. Jean Yves wanted to beat his speed record since few year so he took the opportunity to make it for Tv show.
It is hard to find a straight road with enough degree and good braking zone. Jean Yves Blondeau firstly train in Swiss Jura with his Friend Damian Andrey world from team Poutine speed record holder on street luge 2017.
Then he when to make some test runs on the spot in France. He started in the evening to have less traffic on the road because it is an important way that many people uses every to go to work. As Jean Yves did ask to close the street it has to be done with almost no trafic at all. The car coming behind him would be not problem, because he would be faster, and the car coming in the other direction has two lanes, because it is a 3 lane street ,  so they would be more far that on a narrow street.
During the test in the night, a cat suddenly appear on the side of the road at the fastest point . It seems it wanted to cross the road. But it did not. that’s good because it would have been impossible to avoid it. Then the light decreased too much to be able to see something in the helmet. we reached the speed of 117 km/h . that was the preceded record. not enough to make something new. So we decided to make another try next day noon. At the camp of Francoise Pagnier, Jean yves cleaned the bearings. there are a lot of bearing on a BUGGY ROLLIN suit! and the next day when the people are used to go to eat, he made a try. He could achieve 120 with was a new record.
A few weeks later Jean Yves came back with Danny Strasser to make the TV footage. They arrived in the evening, and started the setting at 4 am. This is a cold place to wait in lycra suit. They had to wait for sun light. IN order to get faster Jean Yves mixed two armors, Blue Aramis and Gold Korean creating a new fusion speed suit : GOLD BLUE. They did several attempt reaching 126 Km/H. They finished just before the workers start to use the road.

here is a teaser of Speed Record 126 kmh

We had the chance to make the advertising film for Busan Film Festival in south korea.

Film director was Sim Sebu (Sebastien Simon) It was a great opportunity to take the silver miror suit back to the place where it was famous, and make the downhill on the center of the Seoul City , a place Jean Yves always wanted to make a downhill race.

That day we had very small crew, just a director and a friend. It was almost impossible to close the street. But the steepness of the pavement was proposing Jean Yves into great speed. So it was mix of working fast ant taking risks. At each take Jean Yves had to come back a t the top of the hill only by skating. That was for sure the slowest part of the shooting.

Here is the film  for Busan Film Festival

This was a special BUKOLIK event that was not possible to make in ‘Les Avants” because the funicular train was on rebuild. The freeride took place in the next village.
Jean Yves came with Blue Aramis Mennen BUGGY ROLLIN wheelsuit.

First time in Lishui 2012 for Jean Yves Blondeau. aka Rollerman It will become a great place for skaters. The time Jean Yves performed on theatre stage a show for opening ceremony. We did not see the city and also not the beautiful mountain around . It will come the next years. On that year the weather was wet and the event not so big. It gave the sensation that in line skate event is a microcosm in a huge country.

Rollerman at Chunchon South Korea 2012.

Back to the Leisure games : Rollerman at Chunchon South Korea 2012 with Golden BUGGY ROLLIN suit. That suit which was lost for four years could have its revival glory on the floor of south Korea.  Even if this suit was build for record braking instead of dance show it has a great look. Jean Yves Blondeau made demos and show at introduction ceremony .

For the Promotion of his movie CZ 12 Jean Yves Blondeau went to perform with his Golden Goldfinger BUGGY ROLLIN suit on stage of Comic-con with Jackie Chan at San Diego USA.
The surprise was back stage, to meet at the same table Silvester Stalone, Arnold schwarzenegger, Jackie Chan . But Jean Yves did not sit because he was wearing the BUGGY ROLLIN suit , and because he was not the welcomed by the agent of silvestre. Sorry but there is no picture of this back stage event. Camera were not allowed there.
With Jean Yves in purple, the pretty blonde, who has a degree in engineering, and speaks fluent Chinese is the french actress, Laura Weissbecker, the perfect Chinese woman as she wrote in her book.

We found this video about comic-con

Cold old mountain for Rollerman at Altenberg 2012

Sometimes the weather is tough in altenberg. when the north wind hit the mountain and bring rain, then the winter comes in the middle of the summer. That year was a hell of cold rain. Beton on Fire Rollerman at Altenberg 2012 stays the most interesting track to run.

Korean at Altenberg 2012

The Korean skaters downhill extreme had made the trip to ride the bob, we can see Chang Jun in the photos.

There is the need for movies makers to choose BUGGY ROLLIN suit color between the existing ones. This small photo serial of Four armors was made for that.

• Black Athos AKA Tiger and Dragon BUGGY ROLLIN wheel suit. We have seen this Black suit in the Skoda commercial film near Anji, on the great wall, on stage in Shanghai in the bob tracks and on many downhill. Black is discrete like a shadow but efficient as hell.
• Blue Aramis and its twin brother Blue Angel were created for the Mennen commercial film with yellow lines. We also have seen them only blue for Chupa Chups in Russia, and on stage in Haining, PSWC, Shanghai, Bangkok, Geisingen. it has two blades of 110 mm on the chest making it very special to drive.
• Gold Artagnan AKA Goldfinger. It is an heavy armor made for record braking and hard G forces. It has actually maybe the best wheel on chest. Prototypes made by hand in a small french company ROLL X.
• Grey Porthos AKA Jackie Chan, it is a very evaluated suit. With its very long truck setting and its cooling system it has been used as a stealth vehicle to escape the chemical factory in Jackie chan film CZ12, and then it made the advertising for BVR Bank in Germany.

Here are picture of the Four armors

You can see all the BUGGY ROLLIN prototypes here. This was the four armor of 2012. It may have changed since.
There are more armors for women.
