A man wearing modified in-line skates traveled along the track of Mammuth, a wooden roller coaster at Erlebnispark Tripsdill in Germany.
Dirk Auer traveled over the entire roller coaster in a minute and reached 56 mph. His custom in-line skates had 16 wheels on each shoe and took him more than 100 hours to make. He spent two months planning the stunt.
Auer said the wooden roller coaster was a dangerous stunt because the skates could get caught on a stray nail or screw, which would send him falling.
Auer holds the world in-line-skate speed record at 190 mph. He was dragged behind a Porsche to reach that speed.

I wouldn't do it on El Toro.
Germans: If you are going to do something like this, at least look cool doing it. LOL
Let's see him do steel coasters like say, Millennium Force.
Dick would let him, just charge him $1,000,000 to help pay for their next coaster.
I want to see him do it on Steel Hawg - WITHOUT modified skates.
I wonder how Arrow transitions on a non tunnel non head chopper mine train circuit would work.
I wonder if any trim brakes came into play?
I read this on buzz and he has rode steel coasters before...
Then let's see this guy conquer the Son of Beast without any injuries!
After all, if he can survive the ride, then I'm sure I can.
^ That would be a little easier now that there is no loop...
I wonder if he made it all the way through. I'd suspect he'd not maintain the momentum.
