Video: Rollerman Jean-Yves Blondeau completes 1000ft mountain road descent in wheelie suit
23rd Jul 2012 9:18am | By Dan Thorne
Looking like a futuristic cyborg on wheels, Frenchman Jean-Yves Blondeau has taken on ninety nine curves of a Chinese mountain road in this spectacular video.
Blondeau, a 42-year-old designer and extreme sports enthusiast, took on Tianmen Mountain the Chinese Hunan province wearing a special suit which features 31 wheels and plastic body armour.
In the video below the brave adventurer takes on high speeds down hairpin bends, starting off his amazing feat by sliding down a special metal chute.

Blondea started his roller suit design project when he created the suit as part of a graduation project at his university in Paris.
Since then he has created 20 different versions of the suit and reached speeds of up to 70mph.
