Are your descending skills this good?

Here is a guy that thinks outside the box: Click Here and scroll to bottom for video (http://www.showmecables.com/humpdayspecials.asp)

This gives new meaning to the term "ironman"

Whoa. My palms were sweating watching that. Did you see how wide he had to take those turns?

Think about the descending skills of the guy shooting the video from the following moto. :cool:

He met some vehicular traffic, too. Coulda been ugly in one of those blind corners at the top, where he was using both sides of the road.

I wonder what the two peeps on the moto that he passed were thinking ! Unless, of course, that was a set-up shot.

Still pretty cool, that. Takes a different kinda person to conceive a suit with roller blades built into the knees and elbows.

That a U2 song as background music? Anyone know which one or who it is if not U2? Thanks!

Wow that was sick.

Dudes...this is clearly CGI. That guy's no more real than Yoda. (sorry Viper)

Insane. If you google "jean yves blondeau" or "buggy rollin" there's more, but that one was the best. How fast do you think he's going?

On the second clip I saw,, the follow vehicle driver said 110 kph. So that's about , what?,,67 mph? Plenny fast. I've been 60 downhill on my tandem. Didn't wanna go any faster.

Dudes...this is clearly CGI. That guy's no more real than Yoda. (sorry Viper)how can you tell? i've always wondered how one distinguishes things like this when resolution is so poor. is there a giveaway that one can easily spot? and do others agree with chuckroast's viewpoint?

[happycampyer]

disagree... this guy is for real

I looked at it just now a second time. As my signature line says, I am frequently wrong. I just thought the herky jerky motion, the relative lack of detail in the backgrounds and the fact that you never see a face all screamed out video game to me.
