Buggy Rolling- X-sport.... AWESOME!!

[laxman37]

So, anyone like rollerblading? Imagine it, over your whole body. In a suit thingey. With 31 wheels. Able to go 60 MPH. Able to do roll in just about any position. Still imagining? Well, it would look something like this...

I wouldnt personally do that....
Imagine going 60, and bam...you hit some gravel in the road...Sure, you're wearing pads, but sliding/toppling down a hill at 60+mph wouldn't be fun.

he's french, that makes sense

[swish7209]

lol^^^

anyways that is sick but as AM17 said probably very wicked dangerous

[snell31]

i'd probably need more than hay to stop me from going over the edge of the hill. but it really looks fun, id love to try it.

Me and my friend have done it. Built a suit and everything ourselves. We still do it every once in a while

[justlaxin484]

that looks sweet, id do that in a second.

[Storm21]

he looks like a space man

[CSlax06]

Its French but he speaks German? Atleast thats as much as I caught...

[laxman37]

Nope, he was speaking french, and there was a voiceover speaking german.

Stringer4lax... can I see some pics of it?

[scruffy221]

theres a game called Kinetica where you do this, i personally dont like the game but its pretty much just this kinda stuff.

[petejobu22]

All I thought about while watching the video was what if he lost control while skating normal and fell....you would just keep going and going and going and going. Kinda like the Energizer bunny. lol

[mfLax03]

the music at the beginning of the video is some of the worst ive ever heard

[Laxgoalie4282]

wow... that is really cool :agree: . i would try that instantly if anyone offered to let me try. the suit looks kind of weird, but what can you expect, its covered in wheels.

and i agree, the music is pretty bad.

[laxman37]

Yeah... some techno is terrible. Most Kraftwerk stuff is good, but that song stank :(
