Antoine Montant, the winner of the Speedflying Pro Les Arcs 2010, has as agreed before, been invited by Francois Bon to do this world Premiere in the Alps. The spot was kept secret till the last minute. As the cherry on the top of a cake, the crew had planned to offer this downhill to the winner of the 2010 event, elected as « the best speedrider of the year » after two big mountain runs.

Fully turn into Freeride, Speedriding is getting its full dimension in High mountains, such as the ‘Aiguille Rouge’ in Les Arcs, and on the Italian side of the mythic ‘Grandes Jorasses’, for a 3000m high run between seracs and snow fields.

These two exceptional pilots never stop exploring the planet with their tiny gliders, which open many possibilities to ride some difficult and unreachable venue.

« This face was calling me since a long time, so massive and impressive, it was cool to be with Antoine again, after the Eiger descent we did together in 2006… 8 long minutes to ‘discuss’ with this enormous face… We rided with keeping in mind to enjoy at the maximum what Speedriding gives the best: Pleasure! ... » explains François Bon.

 

 

« Winning in les Arcs for the third time in a raw is an happiness already… and then ride this legendary mountain, feeling so small in the immensity of snow and ice… that was really sick!.. We rided without pressure, in a friendly atmosphere and just for fun … » says Antoine Montant.
