Give me a set of brembos on my toes and fingers and I'm in.

Amazing what the human mind can conjure up...I'd do it, not on that road to start!

That guy has more wheels then brain cells!! It looks like fun but the cost of a mistake is enough to discourage the sane. It would have been great to see the expression of the riders on the bikes as he rolled past them.

Way.

I'd love to see a ROLLERMAN vs. DOLLYMAN smack-down though.

Very Cool ! Not a lot of room for error, head first that's got to be a rush on a mountain road passing bikes.

Not sure if he even bothered figuring out a procedure for an emergency stop (turtle it?). I would at least want a closed road!

looks like fun.
i would think about really bright colors and a dune buggy type flag to increase visibility.
some mini jet packs would be great for getting back up those hills.

Wow. That's pretty amazing. He has wheels on his back as well. There's a whole series of videos.

Thinking about this, the guy with the jet engine backpack and the guy cliff sailing (all in Europe), makes me think that when you have a job that pays well, does not work you too hard, you have lots of vacation and fully paid healthcare - well, you think of crazy things to do and take the time to do it.

Here in the US it always seems a bit more spontaneous - famous last words, "Hey, hold my beer and watch this!"

Yeah, but he might regret that "fully paid healthcare" quality when he needs a neurosurgeon to repair his brain from the blunt force trauma.

Two words: pot and hole!
