First BUGGY ROLLIN pilot with Jean Yves was Xavier Chantepy, “Mr X” or “PYX“.
PyX was on the side of Jean yves from the early 1996 to help him create a company. He was the first to crash hardly on the first BUGY ROLLIN downhill race in lausanne 2000. It was rainy, slippery, he was too euphoric for happiness of sliding, he could not make the cuve correctly. It was very bad to have him hurt so much. Now, he is way too much busy to ride regularly anymore. He owns a suit. His place is with us in the community and FIBRA.
Second BUGGY ROLLIN pilot but first in heart was Virginie Alventosa “VA”.
VA helped for the first photo and video Shooting ever at the Trocadero in june 1994 6 am,before the tourist come, with Bertrand Paumard as video director. She was the photographer. She also helped to pick the color of the first suit, that it would not make people afraid. She was a great help and a real gift from God to share short piece of life with Jean Yves. She accepted to come back 4 years later to shoot with christoph lebedinsky at “la Tres Grande Bibliotheque francois Mitterand in Paris. She stays as a star in the legends.

Maybe he thought it was easy. but to make a movie we need perfection. at each take he said “OW difficult !” so he spent time to train with Jean Yves on the set and became good. He could go on downhill by himself. He is strong, faithful, and kind. Friendship is important to him. Maybe we will make a second film together ?

The studio never gave the picture they promised. There are no official picture on the web of Jim wearing the suit
Zoee did not like the BUGGY ROLLIN suit at all. She was not happy to rehearse at the studio. She was cold and unfriendly with Jean Yves who understood that she did not like it, because every one is different., and she is very special artist . No worries Zoee we love you anyway !
