Extreme skater Dirk Auer skated the Tripps Drill Roller Coaster in Stuggart Germany wearing only a pair of customized in-line skates. Reaching speeds of 90 km/hr on the first hill, it took him less than a minute to complete the track. Because of the likelihood of a rogue nail which would ’cause instant death’, this was considered one of the most dangerous stunts ever.

Absolutely not, but I'm sure it would be the thrill of a lifetime.

That's crazy, nuts, and off the chain.

I bet it was fun, though!

He needs to do a loop. Then I'll be impressed.

I will never zoom along at 90mph with an exposed crotch, no. Bird strike anyone?

I suspect he was smart enough to wear a cup.

If not.. ouch!

I wouldn't do it in the coaster car much less on skates. Hate coasters.

Just the thought of all that machinery that someone else may or may not be maintaining makes my skin crawl...and I got a lot of skin.. I keep expecting the damn things to fly off the tracks.

Nope..Nope...Nope...not happening.

What a wimp. If he did it with just skates with out the side and under rollers I would be more impressed. If you look closely the chances of the skates comming off the rails is very unlikely. His feet coming out of the skate however...

Wooden roller coasters are really rough, that just makes it wilder....the guy is on another level

When I first started reading the post my thought was oh hell no. After looking at the rig he's using in the photos, maybe.

I like how they claim if anything goes wrong its "Certain Death", yet in one of the vids he falls and is most certainly not dead.

I can honestly say that i WOULD do that. I have really bad thrill issues, though.

Freestyle BMX can only push so much adrenaline thru the veins, after that, I guess theres always space travel

^I think you need to try downhill mountain biking. Nothing gives you a thrill like shattering a carbon wheel at 60mph on gravel.

I'm pretty stupid and have fairly large stones, but I wouldn't do it. I don't have the body strength to keep myself from flailing around like the ears of a hound dog at full run.

^^Ive got a buddy who does DH here in ohio at a ski run durring the summer, and also heads down to W.Virg. to do th e same at a much larger facility. That guy is Nuckin Futs!!! I'll stick to piddling around the local skatepark yo or the racetrack dirt jumps. Maybe when I was 20 I woulda considered it, but man, Ive seen some crap on DH sites that makes me cry in my sleep
