Just watched Jim Carey's 'Yes Man'. At the end (for all of you who haven't seen it) they have these awesome looking roller suits. Basically free sledding down the mountain. Go pretty fast, but hey...you couldn't really fall off.

roller suit 1


roller suit 2

Looks like heaps of fun : )

Looks like Natural Selection. Oughta have a label that says "Darwin", LOL.

Don't get me wrong - it does look like fun...just don't think I'd be into it on public streets is all. Buicks hurt, and we think they don't see *motorycles*? Imagine how some blue-hair would react if they saw these coming at 'em!!!

Wow, imagine getting passed by a guy sliding down the mountain on his belly!

First question though... How do you stop? And what's your stopping distance at speed?
Also looked like he had to swing wide for tight turns

otherwise it looks like fun, someone should get a suit for Buelltoberfest!

there are pads on the elbows which can be used as brakes i think. looks crazy, but must be an awesome feeling that close to the road.

another video i just found
