If you haven't seen this guy on youtube before, hes awesome! He made this suit out of alot of rollers, i forget the exact number, but speeds down hills doing sick stuff at +70mph past cars and stuff.

That would be the greatest competition ever.
The only problem is this is a one-of-a kind suit,

Doesn't mean that someone cant build one similar. Dave England was the first to do it on jackass. He used a pair of roller skates on his knees and a exercise wheel in between his hands. I bet rollerdude would give up the design for competing and if anything he could manufacture the suits for profit. If not, just have open class competitions. The real question is, who has the balls to reenact the skeleton luge with no brakes, no track, and a non slick surface and then race this guy.

i believe he goes through a set of wheels each run, to make sure there aren't any close calls with those guardrails. Also, he mentioned that the cameraman is some professional extreme sports filmer...

You'll notice he does like a carve/slide to scrub speed.

I imagine that guy has a whole metric shit ton of that "X factor" that separates extreme sports stars from humans.  He could probably be pretty successful in like motoGP or something.  Insane.

I dunno man I was wondering that too.  I was gonna say it was filmed from a mean ass sport car.  Because obviously the road is really smooth (or else rollerman would eat epic shit) and the camera isn't tilting.  I dunno maybe they have some special thing to keep it level.
