Well, I missed the original post.  Looks like about as much fun as you could have on the road without being on a bike.

I wonder what went through the head of the guy he passed?

[chornbe]

  I'm thinking...

[servicerifle]

This dude keeps popping up on motorcycle websites...simultaneously he keeps not impressing me.

[JonS]

 Amazing! You just never know what lurks in the hearts of men.
 That just doesn't look like a good time to me.

[tankhead]

That's about the closest you would be able to get to flying like superman.  I'm sold.

[toddrod]

I'm really happy to see that there are a few people that aren't impressed with this guy and his roller suit. I just don't think it is that big of a deal. Seems like something anyone can do, but it's not worth the time and effort to make a suit to do that.

Just looks like fun, that's all.

That's got to be the coolest goddam thing I have ever seen....

Ditto. He's all over the lines and even into the on-coming lane on some of those curves. Looks like an accident waiting to happen to me.

Dude is flying down the road in a body suit covered in wheels and you're going to complain about his lane discipline?  

Looks like fun to me.  

[JimWilliamson]

Sign me up! What a great idea.

At some points he's not going all that fast (and at some he is) - though being so close to the road the sensation of speed must be great!

Well, I'm mostly unimpressed because I'm not sure it takes that much skill.  I realize I'm talking out of my ass here, but when you're that close to the ground, the wipe-out factor is probably pretty low.  Besides that, he doesn't have to modulate how much power he puts to the ground.  I dunno, it just looks goofy to me, and not cool at all.

It looks as though high siding would not be as painful as on a bike.

That was pretty cool.

I don't know how much skill it takes, either.  

Sort of like riding a rollercoaster doesn't take any skill, nor is it impressive that a guy can do it, but it's fun to do.

Yeah, that lack of lane discipline is going to get him killed and probably going to cost the life or lives of whoever is trying to avoid his stupid ass.  He's not just and accident but a Darwin Award waiting to happen.  Sad thing is, someone else is likely to pay the ultimate price right along with him.

[Mrs. DantesDame]

I think I'd be terribly embarrassed to be passed by that guy  

Personally I'd really like to see how he makes his turns

Kinda like skydiving, just twist your body.
