The biggest expectation for Jean Yves Blondeau to come to Xichang is to meet his friends again. The first days he was not able to contact them.

Robin was able to run on the side of Jean Yves as he was going down the streets of old XiChang with BUGGY ROLLIN suit. Miss Trump always carry good mood. Mr Bear keep fidelity.

Lake and old city

firstly we spent time near the QiongHai lake. Then we visited the sloppy old city. We went outside the city to ErWu in order to find long perfect floor downhill. and finally we went to fire festival. Fire festival is a very special cultural event of XiChang. It goes only for a pair of hours. It transform completely the city. No word can clearly explain. just go and experiment it.

Meeting the beautiful dancer was maybe one of the most beautiful present to receive in XiChang.

During two dances a magic complicity immediately crystallized between her two people. During the festival, the fire burns hearts. Even though he is fiery and ephemeral, his bite stays a long time.

Create opportunity

Jean Yves Blondeau and Danny Strasser decided to go BUGGY SKI at Lech Austria, in order to make BUGGY SKI video. Since Danny never made any BUGGY SKI video it was a need to do so, and perhaps get as much success as the famous SWISS PASS film.

Conditions

The weather was nice. But the snow was melting too soft and heavy . So it was difficult to ride BUGGY SKI.

Jean Yves Blondeau with Emilie

After a successful meeting at the office of china.com, Rollerman decided to make a happening on the Great Wall. Moreover, it is a symbolic way to make BUGGY ROLLIN and Rollerman belong to Chinese culture.

China.com and RCI Radio Chine Internationale

We made agreement with china.com to build up a communication plan for the promotion of Rollerman in China. At RCI we had interview with journalist and French – Chinese language teacher Xiao Tai. Later we found the books of her chinese lessons.

Great wall

When Rollerman decided to roll on the great wall with BUGGY ROLLIN, He chose to use the black “Tiger and Dragon” armor. The team of china.com helped and took video. Emilie was the translator. She is cute beautiful nice minded and speak almost perfect french. Therefor her contribution was highly appreciated.

Not an Easy riding.

The floor is made of bricks. There is so many people stepping there that the bricks are completely concave. In view of the floor irregularity, it was very hard to roll. There are also a lot of stairs and water channels which are crossing very often. So much that, it is almost impossible to make a continuous downhill without prior preparation of the floor.

meet the police

At he origin, we made the mistake to make video just under the CCTV. So the Police came and started to make trouble. Even if we had representatives of Official media with us, They did not want to hear us.
