This is the Rollerman Videos until 2005. The Germain times from 2000 to 2003 . Then arriving in korea and the TV shows made in korea.
Treasure must be hunted.
We still have a lot of video on tape format that has never been transferred to digital support. Thus before 2005 were camera very expensive. So we could not make as much video as we can nowadays.
Video of BUGGY ROLLIN From the beginning until 2000.
The firsts video were made with the “pink” suit. It has a very special aesthetic, that would match Tim burton fantasy.
From 1998 came the second Prototype “Carbon”. It was opening a new world of performances.
We tried to re load the videos that were bad quality to Vimeo in order to be bale to enjoy them with bigger screens. And now it is a real pleasure to see how good were already the motions. For example in the Lausanne video, there is a unfinished fast wheeling called Gognoc, that is not performed since a very long time. It is old but every thing was there.

Videos of BUGGY ROLLIN until 2003
During the Germain years, the exploration of the possibilities to roll in bob tracks was very exciting. In TunnelBlick, a video co-produced by Danny Strasser and Jean Yves Blondeau, we make a travel trough the Germain sports facilities.
We also went to Hot Heels, that event became legendary with the passing years.

We can easily see that the Korean took model on the “Extreme” video to make the KT Megapass film.
That is the case of the little girl who went directly to speak to Jean Yves asking accurate questions in a perfect english. After show we made some pictures and signature with the kids. The contact with the children is very refreshing.
Instead if Xiao Long, Chang Yue was invited to make show in school wearing BUGGY ROLLIN wheelsuit. So we were 2 BUGGY ROLLIN at Urumqi schools. It was nice to spend time with Chang Yue learning each other and make training outdoor cold morning and at night in hotel lobby of Karamai. In the hotel Lobby at deep night we were making exercices to push only with legs and make tight turn in skelton position .
The last day, just before Jean Yves Blondeau had to take airplane back to Europe, we decided to go outside the city of Urumqi for freeride.
Each group is unique. Each brings a particular color, and the group as a whole is like an image composed of pixels or an array of colored keys. In short, the picture of the group of athletes who came to participate in the Sochi race was particularly beautiful. Despite the very short time spent together, it was a glimpse of the colors of each as an impressionist painting of light. There is still a desire to do more, spend more time together, share more. Hence the need to go freeride after the race
