Delays, bad weather, bad luck, we know how it goes sometimes…<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

… but in the end nothing stopped the French freefly elite from achieving their goals \ud83d\ude0e <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. The first success – 12-way Head-Up Record <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It all started in July 2021 during the Head-Down 60-way record attempts organized at the beautiful dropzone of Brienne le Chateau<\/a> in France. After 5 days of capricious weather, no jump could be made. The disappointment was great, because we were ready! The hard work of the organizers would have paid off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But fate had not completely abandoned us because I was organizing a “French Mate” training the following weekend. The \u201cFrench Mate\u201d is an event that brings together high performance skydivers, made up of competitors, tunnel instructors and freefly coaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I then seized the opportunity to organize the first Head-Up Record in France with all these beautiful people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The good weather was finally back, so after I finalized all the necessary steps to launch the first attempts, I naturally asked Marjorie Ricbourg from the SC420 association (the organiser of the big-way record in France) to join me in this new record attempt. The next step was to propose Karine Joly and Greg Crozier from Airwax Team to assist us in this new adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was then that the very first French 12-way Head-Up record was achieved – without training and with only one plane. \ud83d\ude0e\ud83d\udcaa Quite a consolation prize! and this is how the first chapter of the French Head-up records opened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
