A new Rollerman at Xichang 2016

Xiao long was receiving his brand new Orange BUGGY ROLLIN follows at XiChang. It was nice to have training together with Jean Yves during the long hours of competition.

Back to friends

The biggest expectation for Jean Yves Blondeau to come to Xichang is to meet his friends again. The first days he was not able to contact them. But as soon as he could get together again, the Sunny sun shine came back. Best fixer, Sunny bring back his friends with him. Robin was able to run on the side of Jean Yves as he was going down the streets of old XiChang with BUGGY ROLLIN suit. Miss Trump always carry good mood. Mr Bear keep fidelity. BinBin the cousin is always curious.

Lake and old city

firstly we spent time near the QiongHai lake. Then we visited the sloppy old city. We went outside the city to ErWu in order to find long perfect floor downhill. and finally we went to fire festival. Fire festival is a very special cultural event of XiChang. It goes only for a pair of hours. It transform completely the city. No word can clearly explain. just go and experiment it.

Thanks to Sunny and his friends we could secure the cross roads of old city in the purpose of making fast video in narrow streets. Also they made possible to escape the center of the city and film with BUGGY ROLLIN around. there is so much more to film in they area.

Meeting the beautiful dancer was maybe one of the most beautiful present to receive in XiChang.

During two dances a magic complicity immediately crystallized between her two people. During the festival, the fire burns hearts. Even though he is fiery and ephemeral, his bite stays a long time.

Nor should we forget this ceremony of the The which was a mythical and magical experience. The magic tea drunk under the conditions of concentration and favorable breathing is a gateway to the breath of the dragon. If you want to know more, write to us!

A world premiere.

For the first time in the world Jean Yves Blondeau bring a suit with Ice Blades in bob track. Rollerman on ice at Sigulda is another epic adventure. Designing the blades, chose a metal, make them cutting by laser Jean Yves had to work in a very short window. Then he had to update the prototype in order to fix some ice vibration issues. After proposing solution Jean Yves Blondeau made tests in ice hall. The next days he jumped on the ice of the Bob Track .

Création comes by work . In every thing making progress is making effort. So stepping on the ice was not easy. And there is still a lot of work to do.

Create opportunity

Jean Yves Blondeau and Danny Strasser decided to go BUGGY SKI at Lech Austria, in order to make BUGGY SKI video. Since Danny never made any BUGGY SKI video it was a need to do so, and perhaps get as much success as the famous SWISS PASS film.

Conditions

The weather was nice. But the snow was melting too soft and heavy . So it was difficult to ride BUGGY SKI.

Rollerman at 24 hours of le Mans Roller. He made show in the village, ran the parade with BUGGY ROLLIN wheel suit. And during the night he made some show at the stands to cheer the riders up.

There is a long time that Jean Yves Blondeau was not invited on speed skate event. we went in several marathons in Germany and Lyon. Reconnecting the speed skater friends is great. Specially when many old downhill skaters build speed teams. So it was a bit like a lost family meeting.

After a successful meeting at the office of china.com, Rollerman decided to make a happening on the Great Wall. Moreover, it is a symbolic way to make BUGGY ROLLIN and Rollerman belong to Chinese culture.

China.com and RCI Radio Chine Internationale

We made agreement with china.com to build up a communication plan for the promotion of Rollerman in China. At RCI we had interview with journalist and French – Chinese language teacher Xiao Tai. Later we found the books of her chinese lessons.

Great wall

When Rollerman decided to roll on the great wall with BUGGY ROLLIN, He chose to use the black “Tiger and Dragon” armor. The team of china.com helped and took video. Emilie was the translator. She is cute beautiful nice minded and speak almost perfect french. Therefor her contribution was highly appreciated.

Not an Easy riding.

The floor is made of bricks. There is so many people stepping there that the bricks are completely concave. In view of the floor irregularity, it was very hard to roll. There are also a lot of stairs and water channels which are crossing very often. So much that, it is almost impossible to make a continuous downhill without prior preparation of the floor.

meet the police

At he origin, we made the mistake to make video just under the CCTV. So the Police came and started to make trouble. Even if we had representatives of Official media with us, They did not want to hear us.

conclusion

Practicing BUGGY ROLLIN on the great wall is a very special experience. Thus it was  a nice day, and a nice shooting, until police arrived.

The Beijing team of Micro Skate invited Jean Yves Blondeau to perform on kids event at Xi An 2015.

side waves

On the margin of the event, Jean Yves had the opportunity to visit the terra-cotta warriors. More interesting was to try to go on the mountain roads. Jean Yves found a street on google map that was not connected to the road network at the foot of the mountain. This place was very interesting to roll in BUGGY ROLLIN.
