Building the promotion in China.
Since the beginning of April, Jean Yves Blondeau Joined Mr Gao Team in Beijing in order to make the Promotion of BUGGY ROLLIN and Rollerman in China.
First step was to meet Chang Yue in his home town.
We did several show. One in medicine university, and other ones at skater club.

Then we had show at Chang Yue skate club. And of course we could meet the young skaters and fans.
Later we took the road to Chengde, north east of Beijing where local skate association prepared a downhill + show program for us.
The first road was not very steep. So it was good enough to start training again after a long break.
But the road was busy with heavy loaded trucks. The heavy traffic is destroying the road. It is causing the pavement to burst out in waves. Rocks appears and id it impossible for skate to pass on. We must avoid it. Or we must stop and walk until pavement is good again.
As every year you can meet Jean Yves Blondeau on snow with his BUGGY SKI. Come and meet, talk, and interact with him. If you are gentle he will answer you.
On the second day, Riderman will join. So there is going to be two buggy ski on the same place in the same time. You will see that is a pretty rare event !

[unitegallery BUGGY_ROLLIN_BOB_V15]
That was the first time that we could enter the bob track of Sigulda. We firstly went ot make a test prior to the event with Philipp Auerswald and Falko Quinger.
Then Ginst and Rainers organised a real Beton On Fire competition. As we had a proper training in Cesana, The pilots of the BUGGY ROLLIN team were ready. 3 BUGGY ROLLIN pilots were there. Sebastien Bertholet Otaku Rollin, Anthony Finocchiaro Finch, and Jean Yves Blondeau Rollerman.
The weather was friendly, and many people came to see the event. But Jean Yves could not stay, he had to go to Shanghai to make show with Riderman who was already waiting for him.
In sigulda we could meet the junior national team members of skeleton. The track is very uniq because it start in the air. The athletes must take elevator to go to start point. We made promotion in silgulda and in Riga with Rollerman and Finch.

At ISPO Munich 2018 we displayed five suits,
During the five days fo the show, Jean Yves Blondeau exposed his suits. He was making performances and demonstrations each time someone would ask him. Situated near the wave inside the Longboard embassy village, it was in the heart of a dynamic place on the show. We received many contacts and interests but still now nothing really happen. We are sure that we had more sport creation than in any other stand on the fair.
Already we have some media feedback. Article on LONGBOARDMAG EU
We saw thousand of people taking pictures but we can not get all the press feed back. We hope that this show will bring us good business.
Maybe we come next year again at ISPO
