JULY: lots of time spent in the air, laughing with friends, and learning a lot about our own kind 🌻 Despite the nasty wind, I was happy to be in Samoëns at the beginning of the month, sharing great moments with the CNF crew, flying my Zeolite, and testing the equalisers 🏋️ I then headed to the Vosges Massif for the Palz Open. I was tired and sick, but I still managed to find my flow while flying over those beautiful landscapes. Unfortunately, the pressure I put on myself during the last task got the better of me, and I missed the result I was hoping for. It was a huge disappointment ❤️‍🩹 The highlight of the week was definitely my brother Louis, who cycled all the way from Strasbourg just to cheer me on at takeoff 🚴 When my friend Lene 🇨🇱 told me she was in the French Alps, I happily went to Le Grand-Bornand to see her and unofficially flew the first task of the Ozone edition of the SRS 🚀 The conditions were booming and crossing the lake Annecy is always a feast for the eyes , but unfortunately I strained my ankle in the LZ 😬 I guess the universe decided it was time for a break, so now I’m stuck on my couch watching the PWCA live tracking 🤓 Of course I’m frustrated, and yes, I’m getting bored. But I’m also deeply grateful to be home, safe from the fires, supported by extraordinary friends and family. Not mentioning my lovely cat 🐱 I don’t take any of it for granted ❤️

BEHIND THE PHOTO. Ever wondered what it takes to freeze an adventure in the air? My process is a mix of chaos and spontaneity. Since I started flying, I’ve been obsessed with documenting my winged adventures. These aren’t staged nor planned shoots; ideas come in the air, requiring quick synchronicity with a crew that is the most important piece of this creative puzzle. I fly with people I trust and who love the adventure as much as I do. Thank you, guys and girls. You know who you are! ;-) To get the shot, I need a wing that transmits all the possible information so I can sense the air and find the best windows to fly hands-free and focus on the frame. I’ve stuck with the @ozoneparagliders Zeolite series for years because its handling allows me to enjoy the flight to the fullest while I’m hunting to freeze the next moment. I still carry my old-school DSLR. On week-long missions in freezing temps, I need something that won’t die on me when the battery drops. It’s bulky, which offers more stability while shooting, and it is bulletproof in this environment. The real battle, though, is the cold. My hands are always the first to go, but @theheatcompany gloves have been a lifesaver for keeping my fingers moving long enough to hit the shutter. It’s a lot of flying, gear, and a lot of “luck,” but when it all aligns, it’s magic. Bivouac drone courtesy of @benjaminkellett #adventure #paragliding #photography

It would have been six years. Even though my contract officially began in January, 2021, I started to collaborate with AirDesign one year before with the launch of the Rise 4. The brand strategy framework had just been redefined with the motto #breakyourownrules and I was still a neuroscientist at that time. My mission? To create a web page that breaks the rules. I used the holidays to find a new way to present a paraglider, far from what the competitors were usually doing. I decided to write a short story to introduce the Rise 4, interviewed the designer to capture the soul of the wing and I highlighted the interesting details with some « did you know? » specific text boxes. Here are some memories and behind the scenes from my time at AD. The new UFO was the first product to be launched when I started to officially work for AirDesign. I had so much fun watching the #haveyouseenit teasers shot all over the world by Nicolas Cochet’s family, friends and team pilots. That was also the opportunity to meet the movie maker Jake Holland! I wanted the introduction scene as in 2001: A Space Odyssey but it was a bit too complicated ^^ As for the website, the final twist of the story is a tribute to « Planet of the Apes » from Pierre Boule. The names of the aliens, Alf and Gordon are a nod to ALF (Alien Life Form) the famous TV show. The Volt 4 was a total banger being the first ever EN-C two-liner on the market. And it was my first 2-liner too ^^ In the story, the main character is inspired by Ray Kroc as I discovered in the movie, The Founder, he was once a salesman who travels across the United States selling Multimixer blenders to restaurants. I named him Archie after Archie Ferguson the hero from 4 3 2 1 from Paul Auster while the name of the agency, Stellar Cooper Advertising, is from Mad Men series. Watching Stephan and Martin in a Home Shopping Show as the introduction scene of our movie was priceless. The name LiVi (for light Vivo) sounded like Ivy to me, and thus like Poison Ivy. I got inspired by comics and imagined this journalist Lois Lane writing while listening to « I’m the bad guy » from Billie Eilish. The rest in the comments ⬇️⬇️
