Rider man and rollerman at the Shanghai Show 2015 open freestyle competition.
Shanghai Show 2015 history
Luckily, Riderman was invited with Rollerman to make synchronized show at Shanghai Show 2015 open freestyle competition.
The choreography was prepared in France on the theme of the medieval jousting to remember the knights who are the ancestors in armor. The knights are facing each other from part to the other of the stage and they run against each other. They do not hit each other. It is not a fight to destroy the other one but something to construct together coherent motions where synchronicity and precision plays a big role.
In conclusion, this was also the first time for Christophe to come to China.

For the third time of BUGGY ROLIN in Lishui Hebei China, Riderman could come with Jean Yves Blondeau to make show. But the first thing to do is to meet the good friends. We met RRRRRUBY Shen and Daisy Vincent William. All the gentle friends that we met years before. Interesting to see with the time the destiny of every one is changing from student to busy life. Ruby is now a teacher, she is married and mummy. Daisy is working in another city but she makes effort to come to visit and help us in Lishui.
On the side of event, thanks to Daisy and Vincent, we could explore some mountain road and make downhill with Riderman and Rollerman in BUGGY ROLLIN suit.

Rollerman was invited to make a show in Zhongning China. This is a interesting city in the middle of the desert build on the side of the yellow river. The speciality there is red wolfs berry from which they make an alcohol. We could find some picture of advertising every where with the head of jackie Chan.
The culture is muslim due to the silk road history.
there was the first time to meet Xiao Long who build his orange Metallic squary BUGGY ROLLIN wheel suit. After trying the suit of jean yves, he decided to purchase one.

meeting nice people
Making show on carpet is no good for a good choreography. the wheels are not rolling the motions are slow.
Jean Yves Blondeau has became spokesperson for the Meilang Meidong rollerblading club in Beijing in march. He had to make a presentation at the annual Micro Skate meeting for China. He also did a choreography show on stage. But it was difficult to perform precise motion because of the deep red the carpet on the floor of the stage. Every motion were also slowed down. that makes difficult to catch up with the music.
Anyhow It was a big show, held in a big palace in the suburbs of Beijing. As conclusion, everyone received the same uniform and took a picture with all the participants. This is where Jean yves met Xiao Qing who will be part of BUGGY ROLLIN’s team in China.
There was a group of dancers who lent themselves to the photo set staged with Rollerman.
Automnales of Geneva is a fair in Swiss. Tous en roller TER association funded by David Dousse has for goal to promote skate. It organise events and in line skate courses. For the fair, he TER invited Jean Yves Blondeau with many BUGGY ROLLIN wheel suits, to show the skills by making shows and teach anyone who wish to learn BUGGY ROLLIN. Sebastien Bertholet “Otaku Rollin“, was also there to give BUGGY ROLLIN and skate lessons.
BUGGY ROLLIN team works
Otaku and Rollerman were busy all along the fair to welcome people, set the BUGGY ROLLIN armors to the bodies, and explain ow to use it.
A fair success
This Automnales Geneva fair was a success because Jean Yves Rollerman had very small time to rest.
Cisterna d’Asti have been chosen by Italian rider Angelo Vecchi and Valentina for receiving 2015 downhill world championship. So Jean Yves Blondeau came with his BUGGY ROLLIN suit to make Rollerman run downhill.
Hill wine and sun shine
Cisterna d’Asti is a small village perched on top of a hill from which the vineyards flow in a tight row. A castle oversees the village. and roads crisscross the vineyard by drawing curves on the side of the hill. it is therefore a pleasant place to spend a weekend of downhill with inline skates. Provided you respect the furnace time and cultivate the midday nap of midday.
Italian road
The road starts steeply between the walls of the village, then laziness a little before joining the vines as if she was reluctant to go to work in the fields. Finally she finished at high speed in the plain just next to the wine cooperative. It was time to get there!
So it’s an Italian race, where you have to push hard on the boards. A pretty walk in the vineyards, and a charming population at night on foot from the castle.
The 2015 Training Camp started in Aix Les Bains. We ended up at the park of the green theater with a beautiful troop of downhill skaters. Switzerland was well represented with Yvon Labarthe and his wife Anna, David Dousse, Sebastien Bertholet “Otaku Rollin“. In the French team we had Christophe Andreatta “Riderman“, Anthony Finocchiaro “Finch” and Jean Yves Blondeau “Rollerman”. This first phase of training is open to beginners. It allows to discover the bases of the BUGGY ROLLIN in a suitable frame.
The program of the discovery stage of 2015 Training Camp.
First you have to dress everyone and adjust each armor. Then we can start a little theoretical course that sets the basics. We learn to lie down, get up, roll on our knees, use the arms, turn and brake. This allows everyone at the end of the course to get by, and start having fun riding. At the end of this first class, students can begin to take a bit of speed downhill. this is necessary for the next stages of the 2015 Training Camp, which will progress in difficulty and speed. Jean Yves is there to supervise the course. He is helped by those with an advanced level like Sebastien Bertholet and Christophe Andreatta.

The second phase of the 2015 Training Camp consists of going on more sloping and committed routes. Here beginners are no longer accepted without having first spent the first stage at the park. We are indeed on mountain roads that propel armor at speeds where it is imperative to know how to navigate and brake.
She right place to practice
The Col de l’Epine in Savoie, is among the favorites for the practice of BUGGY ROLLIN, out of holiday period, it is little borrowed. It has a floor of excellent quality. It has an interesting profile that surfs between rock and cliff.
One of the important rules of security is knowing how to listen to each other. Sebastien Bertholet made the right choice by refraining from riding on a road where he is uncomfortable. The role of the team is not to encourage them to progress at all costs, but to support them in their decisions. It’s pretty hard to see your classmates having fun and stay back without regret.

The third step of 2015 Training Camp @ Cesana Torinese’s Bob Track.
Not having been allowed to return to the bob de la Plagne track (thank you, Mr. Mayor), we had to go abroad to train on the bob track. We are French sportsman, creator of new activities, and can not use the facilities that our taxes have paid, while we have proven ourselves in terms of security. We were able to show that the BUGGY ROLLIN armor protects, and does not make a problem in the bob track.
It is thanks to kindness Stephano Bompard that the doors of the Olympic track of Cesana were opened to us. It’s a unique track in his drawing. It turns into polygons. Therefore it imposes a very special rhythm. It is therefore important to be able to discover it, and tame it.
But as there seems to be a curse on the bob tracks, the track has an uncertain future. Chances are she will disappear.

The Plagne Beton on Fire 2014 was an opportunity to gather four armor together in the track for a competition for the first time. It was because of the effort made to rally the BUGGY ROLLIN pilots for the 20 years of its creation, that the athletes were ready to compete. We had permission to train, and we could find ourselves calmly.
So there was: Riderman France, Sebastien Bertholet Otaku Rollin, Anthony Finocchiaro Finch, and Rollerman Jean Yves Blondeau.
Battle on the podium
We were fighting hard behind Jean Yves at La Plagne Beton on Fire 2014, to try to catch up. With each progression of Jean Yves, everyone progressed too. It was passionate. And everyone has taken the game to push harder, clean the trajectories and hold the position firmly.
At the end the organisator did not thought that we were making race between BUGGY ROLLIN. So we had to go on the Podium by ourself, and the medals were given by jean Yves Bought in Japan.

A promise of a liar.
Unfortunately, the Plagne Beton on Fire 2014 was the last edition of the Beton On Fire at this Bob track. The joyful promises of the new Mayor of PLAGNE, during his speech at the medal ceremony, could have made believe in a secure future for this extraordinary event. But no. The disappointment is at the height of the promise of the liar. Beton On Fire no longer exists in La Plagne. It is hoped that new people will have the power and courage necessary for this renewal that is eagerly desired.
There is a deplorable sport policy that instead of going to the maximum use of the equipment that was so expensive is closing the door of the possible, blocking the blossoming of talent, drying up the development of sports and green. The first battle for a high-level athlete on the bob sled track is to simply train. Meanwhile, the track sleeps in the summer. The promise of a liar is just disheartening.
Jean Yves Blondeau atLeman Bleu French Swiss TV for interview. The set was very small. There were a few robotic camera in corners, a small table was taking all the room, one screen and two chairs at each side. But the program was nice, because the questions were very accurate. The journalist did prepare his question with precision. He also made link to national swiss hero Yves Rossy, that brang happiness to Jean Yves .
Jean Yves Blondeau , the Rolleman, was invited to make show for opening ceremony at Chunchon korea 2014. It was a big competition of many sports. Rollerman was here to make the competition valuable.
Much of the event is devoted to the discovery of sport, with many activities open to the public and free. Unfortunately the event only takes place every two years.
International friendships of Chunchon korea 2014.
it is a competition based on the friendship and reunion of the freestyle skater family athletes around the Korean culture. All athletes are housed in the same place, in the hotels that send a part of the shadow of Korean life: cheap love hotel. This makes it possible to house everyone at a lower cost, and turn the building into a holiday camp. In the evening we often see ourselves setting the dinner by making a huge table in front of the entrance for every one at once, and this often ends with a dance contest, or an improvised good-natured party.
