Way too much awesome.

I would have liked to see the expressions on the faces of the motorcycle riders that he passes. :yikes:

Love that vid. That's got to be a rush.

There was a time in my life where I probably would have tried something like that (on smaller hills and with a closed course).

Now that I've survived my teens and 20's, I can't help but think of the broken bones or worse that would result.

Guard rail posts were getting my attention. Even a taffic cone could set of a chain of events!

Oh, and oncoming traffic might be a worry... :yikes:

It's not like you can grab a handfull of brakes and go inside, lol.

I wonder what his stopping distance is from 60 mph on a gentle downhill? Probably about 1/4 mile.

That was my first thought. A big ol' pothole could sure ruin your day. :whoa:

I like the way he scrubs off speed going into the corners.

We should build one. NO! On second thought, we should build two. Then we can race. ;)

Man the look on the them street bikers faces. "Honey, there is some guy sliding on the street trying to pass you, pokey?" Pretty cool, but, no way in hell that I would do that in traffic! No wait, asphalt is like a grinding wheel, forget that! Street bikes are safer than that? Vintage Bob

I was thinking that same thing, if someone I knew built a suit like that there would be several more in no time.....

Porkchop & Sons, Whitehawk & Doodlepop watched this guy a dozen times over 2 days & laughed like school girls each time! Imagine the trial & error/ learning curve this man went thru perfecting the design of his rig. He appears to have a great deal of control.
Does any one know where this was shot? Now the sick part, or the dark side of porkchop's curiosity, is there an optional rocket pack for up hill operation? Hmmmmm? :worship:
Or possibly a new class of vehicle to race in at Bonneville ?
Imagine this rig coupled with a sky divers webbed souring suit?
Just think of the possibillitys, How many ways can a guy think of AUGERING IN? :joke:
AWSOME VIDEO!!!!
Switzerland has no pot-holes according to the locals. They even have an autobahn with such trick subterranean drainage that there is no tire spray from cars driving at speed when raining.
