Is this a new Super Hero?


     Watch out Flash, there is a new Super Hero on the Scene (Sort of). This may not be a new super hero like the Flash, but it is extremely fast. In an effort to find new and extreme sports I found this one. A man in Europe has made a hard plastic suit with roller-blades mounted on it and is now able to fly down roads at very high speed only a couple of inches off the ground. Some of the things I've read about this guy say he has reached speeds up to 80 mph. He has video showing him passing cars and trucks on the road. My big question when I saw this was how do you stop? one video showed him stopping in a way that skiers call snow plowing, it didn't look that hard to stop, although you need some distance depending on your speed.

     This has to bee the most extreme form of skateboarding, rollerblading and street luge all rolled into one. the rush one must feel that close to the ground and at that speed has to be one of the most amazing feelings ever.All I can say is this is truly extreme and one of the most amazing things I've seen. I would put this at the top of my list of things to try.Very cool.
