Video: Human bobsled vs. motorcycle

03 Oct 2008

Buggy Rollin suit on Japanese TV --

Nihon TV recently aired dramatic footage of “Rollerman” Jean-Yves Blondeau in his BuggyRollin suit, racing Japanese celebrity biker George Takahashi down a mountain road. (See who wins.)

Studded with dozens of wheels, the full-body BuggyRollin suit transforms the wearer into a human luge that can reach speeds of up to 116 kph (70 mph) on steep slopes.
