Watch Out Flash, There's a New Super Hero on the Scene (Sort of)!

 

The Flash, Superman, Spider-Man – we've all got our favorite superheroes. But what if I told you there's a new contender for the title of "fastest man alive," and they're not from a comic book? Forget capes and lasers, this hero is all about hard plastic, rollerblades, and a serious need for speed.

I stumbled upon this incredible feat of human ingenuity while searching for new and extreme sports. Apparently, a daredevil in Europe has created a hard plastic suit with rollerblades attached, allowing him to "fly" down roads at incredibly high speeds, just
inches from the ground. Reports suggest he's reached speeds of up to 80 mph, passing cars and trucks like they're standing still. The videos are mind-blowing!

My initial reaction, like many, was: "How do you stop?" One video showcased a technique that skiers would recognize as "snow plowing." While it doesn't look overly complicated, it's clear that you need a decent amount of space to slow down, especially at those kinds of speeds.

This is the ultimate combination of skateboarding, rollerblading, and street luge. Imagine the rush of being that close to the ground, propelled forward at such an incredible pace. It must be one of the most exhilarating feelings imaginable.

Frankly, it's mind-bogglingly extreme. This is undoubtedly one of the most amazing things I've come across in the realm of action sports. It's so incredibly cool that it's instantly shot to the top of my "things to try" list (though maybe I'll start with something a little less intense first!).

If you're looking for an adrenaline rush like no other, keep an eye out for this incredible new sport. The future of extreme sports may just be zooming past you at 80 mph, and it's definitely one to watch!
