Many SE folk will no doubt have driven the (fantastic) Grimsel and Furka passes near Andermatt

....but probably not 'driven' them like this

Grimsel Pass
Furka Pass

Thats brilliant.

You've got to admire someone how wakes up one morning and has to decide

"Do I go to the office today or do I strap roller skates to my elbow and knees and skid down a hill" .

I wonder how manyyears in prison he would have got if it had been the "rest and be thankfull" and the Scottish Sun had got hold of the footage

That is absolutely cool, would love to try that

How about an attempt on the Duke Pass by the SE'ers.

Anyone got some spare rollerskates?

Cheers

Looking at the Grimsel video, I thought that too at first... but a brief bit of research shows it's quite real

He's well documented and has been on several TV shows and appeared at inline skate speed events, etc.

Awesome

No way they could do that here with the surfaces though.
