Teolo Padova Race

World Championship downhill in Italy in Teolo Padova. At noon, it was a hot lead under a grandiose and brilliant sun. We had a big straight line to gain momentum. Then a sequence of turns too flat and an acceleration output. the first turn, a closing right, concentrated all the attention and the attention of the spectators alone.

Teolo Padova protocol

As an official competition of the International Skating Federation, it follows a protocol with an opening ceremony : speeches, presentation of athletes and show. That for, Jean Yves Blondeau, a great specialist in opening ceremonies, was the only representative of the downhill pilots in show. He created a choreography on a 5-tempo music specially for this event.

Camera mal

He also made a video in multi-view. During the shooting, it was so hot that the neuron was also overheated. Jean Yves did not see that the camera placed at the back of the leg was going to touch the ground at the landing and also at the right turn. The fish eye lens of the camera hit the ground, unscrewed, and the lenses that compose it scattered in pieces on the road …

Happy on concrete.

What a joy to participate in the first race of concrete on fire in Altenberg 2009 in Germany, organized by Philippe auerswald. Altenberg is perhaps the most beautiful track in the world. It is a true initiation rite. We are born in the light by springing from the tower, we die in turn three, and all that happens next is beyond life. It is a varied and fast track well maintained, painted in white, which rolls its turns in the slope of a mountain fold peoples fir. In the far north we see Desden sending us his cold wind.
At that time, Jean Yves liked to dress in a long-haired sweater, which participated in the legend.

Altenberg 2009 was a beautiful race, where the Philipp network is in full swing with his family and friends. Andy who has a wrapping business has arrived with an Impalla 66 low rider, and the parents greeted us with love.

PSWC of 2009

Among the events of 2009, the slalom competition took place in front of the Eiffel tower on the trocadero square. Jean Yves did some demonstrations and had a stand where he displayed armor. We can see Jim Carrey’s Yesman’s armor.

Tenacity.

At that time Jean Yves believed that the product BUGGY ROLLIN was going to be launched commercially. But it will take time and tenacity.

 

Art exhibition events of 2009

During the winter events of 2009, Jean Yves also tried the new arms with the brakes under the elbows. It was an opportunity to make a video of contemporary art for the exhibition “Intrepid Mixer” at the villa Robertsau in Rumilly. This video was firstly made to test the new arms that had a braking system. It turned out that it could perfectly fit to the need of the contemporary Art Exhibition.

 

SWR3 events of 2009

Jean Yves had the happiness to be the guest of SWR3 in Germany, and made try the armor to the presenter of TV Nicole koster, show who was nice and fit. Nicole said that she understood early in her life that she could earn her life with her mouth. We do think that she has many other talents.

Action screen plays by Jean Yves Blondeau.

Here are ideas for action screen play designed by Jean Yves Blondeau of Commercial Film “MSS Mennen rev it up” .

Color themes proposed by Jean Yves Blondeau.

Then, the proposals of armor color, and the first pictures of the finished pieces.
The film had been shot in south Africa Cap town.  It was a large production.

Board clash.

The day before shooting, the skateboarder ht the head of Jean Yves with his board as he was training. He had to go to hospital, and the all movie had to be rescheduled one week later. They used the original scheduled shooting time to make the scene without Jean yves. And even so, it was not enough time to finish the shooting. Maybe the director was asking too much…

Here are more picture fo the creasy cinema set in cape town .

Rollerman at Graveyard call

an event near by

Near us, beside Annecy, is a small city named Argonay. In that place was the “Graveyard call” race. It is named so because the track ends at the entrance of the cemetery. Fortunately nobody among the the athletes ever ends there.

It could be a halloween event, but it is held in the middle of the summer.

narrow and tight

Graveyard call was a narrow winding road in the forest. Sufficiently sinuous so that Jean Yves comes out of the way in a pin. It missed 50 cm of asphalt out of the curve. It was necessary to brake a little more ! Armor and pilot had no damage at all. They slide a little more far away in the gravel.

Rollerman at Graveyard call impressionist road artist

Strong sun was making light spots all along the road. Light was running on the back of the armor like leopard flakes. All together it made the feeling of running through an impressionist paint.

here is the video

Graveyard call was a international race with athletes coming from around the world of downhill. That is how we met James Kelly and prepare the test of the following year.

Rollerman casted to the show of Country Music Channel

Following Jim Carrey’s film Yes Man, we were contacted by Country Music Channel, CMT, to have Tom C Howell’s armor tested. Of course the video has been blocked on the whole of the planet by production via Youtube. Maybe you will be able to see the teaser . But we have some pictures here.

here is the teaser

and here are the pictures

Tom being a skateboarder he is alergic to rollerblades. He was put tape at the end of his feet so that he does not burn his toes too quickly. And it worked.

Munich 6 days

In the cold nights of the Bavarian winter has hold the six-day track cycling competition at the Munich Olympic Park. We were invited by Philippe Auerswald to do rollerblading races on the speed ring. In the evening a discotheque was organized in the basements. It was the opportunity for Jean Yves to take out the armor and enjoy the effects of light to make disco images. so that he could Dance in Munich with virtual Madonna.

Here is the video of Dance in Munich with Madonna

Later in the year, he mounted the images on a video of Madonna and resumed his movement as a dialogue or a choreographic concerto.
