Rollerman first race in bob track ever

That was the year of the first race in bob track in La Plagne.

World Premiere

That is the place where Rollerman first runs in Bob Track with Carbone BUGGY ROLLIN armor. This was very scary because it is almost impossible to brake. Thanks a well balanced BUGGY ROLLIN, and a fit body it was possible to learn fast and progress efficiently. Even for the first time it was difficult to get the records of time.

Few weeks later was also the Ride Line of Tignes. There was the brand new carbon prototype, with perfect purple wheels. The helmet was also very comfortable, and carrying a cosmonaut identity.

here are the pictures of first race in bob track

That year the car had been stolen in july at Lyon  with all the suits, the drawings, the skates. That has slow down the project a lot. the summer was a complete waste.

Paris life

I was living in Paris. There are more pictures. But at this time we were using film and no computer datas. So i do not have all pictures yet. It was the time of first pink prototype. it gave the name of Pink years.

studio Blondeau

We had our first experimentation at studio Michel Blondeau. It was so hard to stand under the warm light that the water was dropping out of arms and legs. If you watch the pictures you will be able to see the water drop making mark on the yellow paper floor. we had to replace it.

We also made our first artistic photo with Gilles Poyet future studio Poyet at Chambery France. we used the historical scenery of old middle age town. the clash between antique stones and futuristic armor works very well. That’s why we used also this place to make our very first video and first TV Canal Plus came here.

1996 1997 was crazy years for newspaper. BUGGY ROLLIN could make around the globe on paper with parution in major countries. The final point was the invitation by FUJI TV in Japan for “Naruhodo the world”.

And for the last i will show you the very fists pictures of june 1994.

Rollerman experiences BUGGY ROLLIN in Japan 2005

This photos of BUGGY ROLLIN in Japan 2005 were taken in Shinjuku, Hakihabara, Ginza, Ueno park and Yokohama, by Korean Photographer “Sweet Satang” with the Kin Nam Hoon Team. We used Silver suit. Jean Yves Blondeau was the model and pilot. Japanese people keep asking who are you ? the answer should be ROLLERMAN ! But at this time we did not use this name. It came from journalists and from crowd. One of the best memory was to dance with the dragon in china town of Yokohama, and meeting maids in Ginza.
