Can you imagine the look on the faces of the riders going the other way, or better still, the look on those he passes!! Wild get up to do that kinda stuff.

Depends on how many clean sets of Undies you have and when the nice men in the white suits catch up with ya
. Besides i cant think of a road steep and good enough to do it,in Aus..
RE: How cool is this.. - maggot - 10-12-2007
There are a few good roads mate but downhill is only 1 aspect of the sport, the majority is freestyle in more conventional situations. Anyone who wants some info on this can email me at maggot1300@gmail.com but like I said earlier its not a cheap setup. 3000 euro is the starting price for a complete unit but you can get parts however every suit is custom made and there is currently a long wait as Jean-Yves is in asia promoting atm.

The size of my
. I could see a bus load of jap tourist chasing me downhill with Harpoons

Are you nuts Matt? hahaha. I doubt there is many Aussies keen for that get-up. What do you do to get to the top of the hill? Too much hard work. Plus, these guys might be coming the other way.

RE: How cool is this.. - maggot - 10-12-2007
lol Glen mate I could tell you exactly how many people actually own these suits but I'll leave some mystery. besides its less effort to get around than with a street luge ;)
as for the utes... well in aus there aren't many roads like that one but for someone like myself who will be in europe at least twice a year it is worth it but even so it will be a few years yet before I'll try keeping up with Jean Yves, he's been building and riding them for nearly 14 years and it takes a hell of a lot of practice.
RE: How cool is this.. - maggot - 10-12-2007
and mr plod is making it harder every year to get a good ride in so when I cant you dont need to go as fast to get that rush if your face is less than 10cm from the ground...
It will never replace the feeling you get from riding but I like to have options ;)
RE: How cool is this.. - GlenTC - 10-12-2007
I have heard of this guy. I think he had a rocket or something strapped his back. I am seeing a pattern. Save all your info, tell me over a drink. Street luge. I saw that on the X games on the Goldie a few years back. The competitors were disappointingly old and a little bit loopy.
RE: How cool is this.. - GlenTC - 10-12-2007
I'm not even going to ask if you have one of your own. The answer will probably freak me out.
RE: How cool is this.. - maggot - 10-12-2007
what one of the suits?
hehehehe well.... there is currently only one person in Australia who owns one...
RE: How cool is this.. - GlenTC - 10-12-2007
Do you know him well? I figured. lol.
