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.

It was the day to meet Seven. She is a nice shanghai skater who cares very well about the kids at the skate club. She is also model.
Rollerman Jet set
Directly after the show, Rolerman flew to another city in order to perform another show on another event on the same day !
that was cool insane.
Show near Shaolin temple mountain
The flight was very delayed because of heavy rain. So we arrived very late on the second event. Luckily it was not finished. Jean Yves came just in time to perform the last show. It was raining a lot. The red carpet on the stage was like a swimming pool.
Warm welcome
After the show, the public came to a table for signatures of Rollerman. They were very nice, and it was very well organized. Thanks SeBa skates team, Xiao Qin Ashlyn and Freezy, and the other ones.

Barbak, the french legend of street luge invited jean yves blondeau aka Rollerman at Saint Pancrash to go freeride on a closed road.
the road is situated on the mountains of chartreuse near Grenoble. The top of the road was under repair, the traffic could not go through. So after working hours, there were no cars at all. That made a nice closed road.
Even if the floor has not a perfect surface, the declivity and the profile of the curve made it a nice experience. as soon as the clouds start to pour some drops on the surfaces it became slippery as soap. That is why on a run we get to hit each other.
here are the pictures of Rollerman at Saint Pancrash
We had also another french ultra legend luger “fragl” who could design a very fancy go pro stick. He hope to get GOPRO sponsorship for his smart green eco friendly stick design. More seriously Fragl is a master in drawing extreme speed lines on the surface of road with his luge. He goes to caress the grass on both side of the road with his shoulders in order to keep the fastest trajectory possible. He is a giant pilot and very friendly guy.
Sigulda 2016 is another edition of the race in bob track named Beton On Fire. Bob track Sigulda is situated north of Riga on the side of a valley carved by a river . On the slope of the valley is built a Bob Track which find almost enough hight to feel like on mountain. The missed last 20 meter of altitude are made by concrete construction. This makes the unique Bob track in the world that start aerial.
weather bad friend
As we arrived in the village, we knew that the weather was going to be bad for the day of the race. That is really bad luck. Because then nobody will come to see the show. That’s the reason why Jean Yves Blondeau urged to make all camera run with BUGGY ROLLIN suit on friday. So now, yo can enjoy the multi view video and nice lighted pictures of the end of the day at the tower start of Sigulda Bob Track.
win lost
For Sigulda 2016 none of the other BUGGY ROLLIN team members could come to the race. So Jean Yves was racing against himself one more time. Even he took the fastest wheels he had, made the best time of all athletes there, his time was not recognized to be used in the final race against the bike.

Press 2015 ; BVR bank advertising made in south Africa featuring Rollerman Jean Yves Blondeau.
South african pass.
The shooting of the BVR Bank advertising took part in Toitskloof pass near Cape town in South Africa. One more time choosing the road was a fight for good floor quality. We know this road because we already made video for buggy rollin at this place. But the surface was very poor, and made a lot of vibration.
In the mind of the nice director, all the pictures were like jet plane views with the noise and travellings. We could shoot in only one day. And came back home without injury.
2015 Jean Yves made 2 advertising , first was Skoda in China second was BVR bank for Germany.

Jean Yves Blondeau made an advertising of VolksWagen group Skoda in China as main actor. The concept is crossing over disciplines. A rally car driver, a super mountain bike pilot and Jean Yves Blondeau as Rollerman in black tiger and dragon BUGGY ROLLIN wheel suit are racing down a mountain. They are not only racing but playing interact and build complicity together through their own way of expression. For example Rollerman is holding the hand of the driver of the car to get speed. Rollerman is pushing the bonnet of the car to set the pace. Together with the car they draw trajectory line on the road that looks like a dialogue between two characters.
The advertising won a price of best commercial film in china for 2015.
