Crazy German rides rollercoaster using rollerblades

[optoman]

I saw this on one of the rollercoaster sites I visit and thought it was totally insane. The coaster has three loops and is over 1500 feet long.

Those don't look like your everyday rollerblades. I bet it was a blast.

I sorta doubt this...unless the radius on those loops was really large or he wasn't going very fast.

Try to actually stand during a loop on a stand-up coaster (like the Mantis at Cedar Point). Basically impossible to do. I partially stood by mistake through one loop, and could hardly walk for most of the rest of the day.

Though my leg was slightly bent, so it could be different if one is standing straight up. But in those pictures he's quite bent over...nowhere near straight up.

 

germans rock!

The inertia would of probably made his knees scrape the rail unless he wasn't going very fast

If it's real there's gotta be a video of it. Imagine if he fell.....can you say grated cheese? :Q

Vielleicht meinen Sie Scheisse?

P.S. Good idea to do, even if you fall it's a nice way to die.

"Dirk attempted his lunacy at the TripsDrill themepark, Stuttgart, having first cobbled togeter a special pair of super-resiliant in-line skates to ensure he didn't go soaring off the roller-coaster, gippo fairground-style."

What a wuss eh, not even daring to do it without being 100% sure he wouldn't fly off.
