This is pretty cool. Long way down if you slip off, though.

France is rad.

The French invented RAD we just coined the term. I remember being at Outdoor Retailer years ago and a co-worker I was with telling a sales rep for a climbing Co. that he was training to climb Denali. The rep who was French got excited and asked how he would get off the mountain? My friend said he would hike/down-climb. The French guy got all wide eyed and was like....ah no! You must fly! Or at least ski down!

Thanks for the post. RAD indeed.

Works for me. Looks even more fun than cycling:

What exactly is holding him onto the board? Does he have to "clip in". It seems it might leave a "small mark on you" if you were to fall off that board while in use.
