La veille du dipllôme ©buggy rollin
Jean Yves Blondeau has built the first prototype in only one month, with fiberglass, PS PVC and second hand recycled material to show that it is possible to roll in all position. The chest was like a sarcophage:
it did not allow any freedom of the vertebra.
Special skate were used with one pair of wheel on the top of the toes.
The lesgs were articulated on the skates. The shape of the legs have been thermo formed directly on JY’s leg. The trousers were smoking !
There were only 3 wheels on the back which was lack of stability.

for the head as computer system for processing sensations trjectory line and global motion coordination
for the chest, the ventilator, the pump, the engine which gives the energy,
for the member producing locomotion and feedback surface information.
Pink Purple > is high energy and increased visibility for safety and fun

Long Fly © buggy rollin / Lébédinsky-Paris
It was made to replace the silver metal. But we could not find the same technology in south korea. so it have been grey painted. We made a special Metal grey with more metal in the paint than any other before. When the chest was mounted with the lastest Gyro 110 Mercury frame, people said that the suit will not be able to curve. WRONG ! This suit turns like a formula one: flat on rails. It is incredibly stable and allowed higher speed.

2005-2007 BUGGY SKI armor for snow
During many years people were asking Jean Yves “why don’t you go on snow?” He had plenty of time to think about during the long travels between Germany and France. The idea could grow up, and the solutions could be theoretically found.
One day as he was in south korea, he could get the opportunity of getting a donation of skis, snowboard and boots. So it was the kick start. Jean Yves Modified a set of shell that was designed to receive wheels into shell that will receive skis.
First test was made in Busan South Korea on a sledge slope in December 2005.
