braking is kinda tough 

[tramp]

cool
would hafta look twice to be sure what it was

[olds-cool]

What exactly is he rolling on?

[dustyc]

Saw that last week.  Too cool.  I'd want the rollers on my back so I could backstroke a while  on the straightaways.  Makes me think of being a kid and going down the hills in my neighborhood on a skateboard on my stomach.

check this link... it will give you some better glimpses of the actual setup he's using... awesome!

Looks like a body suit of wheels.  It's not the fact that there's traffic that would scare me, it that he doesn't keep to his side of the road!

[xtalon]

That was cool as hell!!!

And we motorcyclist think we have a problem being seen?

Some guy goes rolling under your tire in that beer can suit and your gonna be looking for the pickup truck you thought the six-pack fell out of!

He's definitely got some big brass ones.  Looks like he's got something on his forearms for braking.  He puts them out in every corner and pulls them back to his sides in the straights.  Seems like it'd be difficult to stay under control.

Very useful if you've got a large hill on the way to work.  But then you've got to bum a ride home or walk.

well, after doing a lot of "wheeled" sports when i was younger... i would say those "brakes" are rows/sets of wheels that he positions perpendicular to his movement.  its about putting the friction in the right places.

cool..very cool

Amazin'... I wanna do it. Awesome cornering setups. Definately a headturner. Imagine being the slow fella in the big rig then all of the sudden that armor on wheels passes you from underneath and comes shootin out in front of ya. Make you pull over and listen to your heart beat a while...

If the James Bond series hadn't gone legit this last go around (Thank God!), then I would have expected this to show up in the next movie.  It will probably still show up in some movie down the road, chasing down the bad guys!  Robo Cop 4?

I don't know if it was the same guy, but I bet it is the same I saw a few years back in the TV, in an inline-skate downhill competition in Austria. His setup didn't help him to crash onto the hay bales, but it was cool as hell!!!

If my memory serves me, he was nicknamed something as "the spider".

[SD750F]

Damn! I would be very concerned about the speed at which the road friction on those small wheels will not be enough to overcome the inertia! Wow, and little too much and he becomes a human sled with no control... There will be a point when there will not be enough of those little wheels... Just plain physics!

Would be nice to have one of those suits on incase some cager knocks you off your bike...

[HITMAN]

Seriously, at first glance of something like that.  I would be looking for a bike cart-rolling and flipping behind me.

+1 with wearing a suit like that going down.

[Hope]

you can really see the gear he is wearing here:

Still amazed. I bet his physique is way above the norm. His mountainside passes would probably be safer than in the town. Noticed he downgraded his armor a little for town riding.
