Rollerman, alias Jean-Yves Blondeau, is the proud owner of the world's only rollerblading supersuit. When he puts it on, he becomes Rollerman - he should have been on "So You Want To Be A Superhero."
The Rollerman suit is Blondeau's own invention, a 31-wheel roller suit that allows him to move on paved surfaces in an amazing number of positions at speeds of up to 60 miles per hour.
He is a student in a design school in Paris; he created the body rolling suit as part of his work in school. He says that he wanted to "prove the people can roll in any position" - I think he makes his point. See video below.
