They should've had someone who can actually ride race this dude . . .

Chuck pretty soon you'll be backin it in just like that guy on the rollers

[DucDave]

That was really cool....
...looks like a freekin riot.

Can you imagine how fast it must feel with your chin 1 inch off the tarmac??? YEEHAW

how about the feeling you get when your periphial vision catches a glimpse of that tire 1 inch from your head?
now he knows what an onboard camera feels like

I'd love to know how fast he gets going.

[The Snowman]

I'd love to know how fast he gets going.

I've been clocked at 45 on a downhill on my inlines, and that guy has less resistance, since he has more wheels, so I'd say he goes MUCH faster.

looks like Mongoose is riding... minus a tuck and roll into t3

less resistance because of more wheels?? hm.. please explain.

hard to. I know that when a skater uses a 5 wheel inline skate, it "appears" to roll better.

I'm probably wrong, as usual, but I know what using an additional wheel feels like.

[DucDave]

I'd love to know how fast he gets going.

In the beginning of the video it says he gets up to 116km/hr....

about 72mph...

[The Crashing Tomato]

not to get to technical but .... drag (friction) is a factor of a lot of things ... one of them being the amount of contact patch ... the more wheels you have the more drag created via the extra contact patch ... no?????

if you go from 3 to 4 wheels there is more surface to PUSH off with and thus more energy needed to go faster to overcome the extra contact patch of the 4th wheel. frictional GAIN

if I remember correctly there was a great push a bunch of years ago to improve the bearings to cancel this frictional gain created by the additional wheels. the last number qualification I had was a #7 which has likley been improved upon.

now if you take into consideration the two racks of wheels this guy has on his chest and thier lack of caster capabilities then you actually have a tremendous cross wheel force when this guy starts backing it in to a corner ...............


had you all going there didn't I?

[The Snowman]

NO, you're absolutely right.

roller-dude gets the big-balls award.


fuck that shit, lol. bet it's fun as hell, though

I'm gonna trade my bike in for one of those suits, that is PIMP!

Yours would have to be custom made so you don't drag the "girls" on the ground. That would be a tragedy.

I think he's going about 100 GMPH...........that is Gay Miles Per hour.

Would have loved to see that asshat go under a gardrail.

Jus sayin.

BTW that is also a

Too funny... the guy on the bike got out braked by a guy with NO BRAKES

Maybe he just threw out "the anchor"

Nice Video! The guy on rollers has some real balls. Just imagine hitting a bump and high speed with your chin almost scrapping the road....

[DuncanMoto]

My wife translated this.
YOUTUBE "Human Bobsled" Japanese variety show (Aired August 2008)
Jean Yves Blondeau against a Japanese rider, George Takahashi (not a racer)
His fastest record: 116km (72mph)
Said he can beat a Japanese bike going down hill
2600m course somewhere in Japan

Now here's my attempt at embeding another video of him that is even sicker as he passes oncoming traffic and...... Well he goes faster and you get a different view.
