Daredevil Speed Demon makes 1,000ft mountain road descent wearing body armour
equipped with 31 skateboard wheels
These incredible pictures show French 'Rollerman' daredevil Jean-Yves Blondeau as he speeds down
hair-raising mountain roads in China in his custom-made roller suit.
Mr Blondeau, 42, slid down the roads on Tianmen Mountain in Zhangjiajie, in south China's
Hunan province, earlier today.
The suit, which he designed, has 31 roller blade-like wheels on the torso, back, and most of the
major joints, allowing him to ride in a number of positions at speeds of up to 70mph downhill.
Mr Blondeau sped down the 10.77 kilometre road, which boasts 99 hairpin turns, in just 19 mins
34 sec - giving him an average speed of roughly 33km/h (20mph).
Rolling part-way down the steep, tortuous mountain road, and part way down a specially installed
metal track, he used his body to steer as he hurtled dangerously towards the finish.
He even felt confident enough to catch a little air from a jump set up near the bottom of the track,
before crossing the finish line to exploding fire works.
It is just the latest stunt by Mr Blondeau, who has taken his suit - nicknamed Buggy Rollin' - down
luge tracks, mountain roads and city streets across the world.
