Each project requires a lot of training to get the precise skill set for the result. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because Fred\u2019s nature is to push the limits, no-one can even coach him this stuff, he\u2019s figuring it out for himself, a true journey. There are very few World Champions, I respect them all immensely. But, there will always be World Champions, following a similar path, and Soul Flyer Fred is making his own path, most of which has not been walked (or skied or skydived) before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Ski-the-Sky-Fred-Fugen-canopy-SI202203220100_news-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41140\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Ski-the-Sky-Fred-Fugen-canopy-SI202203220100_news-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Ski-the-Sky-Fred-Fugen-canopy-SI202203220100_news-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Ski-the-Sky-Fred-Fugen-canopy-SI202203220100_news-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Ski-the-Sky-Fred-Fugen-canopy-SI202203220100_news-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Ski-the-Sky-Fred-Fugen-canopy-SI202203220100_news-2048x1366.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Fred Fugen flying his own path in life<br>Image Vincent Cotte \/ Red Bull Content Pool <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I ask the elephant in the room, how it is to finish a project on his own that he started with Vince. <em>\u201cI\u2019m not on my own. Every project I have a great team around me. After he passed I am very lucky to be surrounded by good friends. Especially Vincent [Cotte] and Aur\u00e9lien [Chatard], these guys have a lot of motivation to do stuff, it\u2019s a good energy. We work on some nice projects like <a aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/frederic-fugen-cedar-lines\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cedar Lines<\/a>, and we have fun. But, you know, this project is above all a tribute to Vince. It mixes different disciplines, very much in the spirit of the Soul Flyers.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I quiz Fred about what\u2019s next. He says he\u2019s happy to have completed the project right at the start of the year. <em>\u201cNow I take a little rest. We have some plans for 2023 and even 2024 \u2026 but right now, it\u2019s time to relax. After what happened to Vince\u2026 I really want to have fun and enjoy my time. I still want to do cool shit like this. But to just enjoy spending time with friends, jumping with my wife, my friends and family, hanging out, this is really important, it\u2019s what life is.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Final question Fred, how long will you be doing this kind of stuff? He answers with what I can imagine is a Gallic shrug of the shoulders, <em>\u201cAs long as I still have ideas in my head, well, why not?!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fred, as long as you have ideas, we want to watch them! Thank you for being you and continuing the Soul Flyers spirit. \ud83d\ude0d \ud83d\ude0d \ud83d\ude0d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1
