If you think street luge is a crazy way to race downhill, wait until you see this video of Jean Yves Blondeau, aka the Rollerman. Wearing the “buggy rollin” suit he invented, Blondeau flies down mountain roads in the French and Swiss Alps, through traffic in South Korea and down what look like luge tracks in Germany and Italy.

Blondeau created the buggy rollin as his final design school project. It features 32 wheels that allow him to ride on his hands and knees, flat on his stomach, standing and on his back, and hit speeds as fast as 43mph. The video was produced by Danny Strasser.

If you want to see more of the Rollerman, you can check out his YouTube channel, or even book him for your next event!
