Weird, Wacky & Strange Coaster Bits

Wierd, Wacky & Strange Coaster Bits

Well it's only 30 or so miles from Bilbao and a bit more from Santander which have direct ferries from Portsmouth. Burdenous trip but easiest way of getting there..

It just looks like the railway workers got a bit bored and went a bit mental! It looks great! :p

Does anyone know if there are any other coasters of this style out there?

I believe 1-3 more...its like a steel version of a side-friction coaster somewhat.

Switching between the hideouts'...

How did he even stay upright with just those two little handles to hold onto? Must have been fun, but he's a hell of a nutter. ;)
 
Re: Wierd, Wacky & Strange Coaster Bits

Yeah, I saw the whole video of this when it aired on TV and i was really impressed that he didn't 1. valley at some point on the track 2. fall over 3. kill himself

Talk about an adrenaline rush though...

He's, bending over? And the handles are attached to the wheel things like his feet as well? :|

Simple answer: a very strong grip (and the leaning forward helped too because he isn't as affected by wind)
 
Re: Wierd, Wacky & Strange Coaster Bits

One wonders how on earth he managed to traverse the entire track with such weight and lack of momentum. Perhaps it was the lack of drag?
 
Re: Wierd, Wacky & Strange Coaster Bits

There is a video here:
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xadypr ... ller_sport

It shows him doing other crazy things like skating with model jet engines on his back, and skating down tripsdrills other coaster.

It also shows the skates in a bit more detail, it looks like the handle is actually attached to a rubber brake pad behind each skate.

Wow! I think that's a first. Now I've seen it all. :p
 
Re: Wierd, Wacky & Strange Coaster Bits

In the video it shows he doesn't make it round one of the corners and someone had to push him round so he could continue. Also some of the hills he went over really slowly.
