Jesus Crist..

[discoveryellow]

Have you been to the top of that mountain? I have! (On a cable car that goes there.) It is sick just to look down!

That guy has 0% fear. I bet he has to look it up in a dictionary to learn what fear is.

[kimbanyc]

how the heck did he get down from after the tumble? did he climb back up to get his other ski??!! Or maybe he dumped the other ski and flew down after fixing his para-glider. crazy!!

[73snark73]

Crétin, t'as pensé si y'avait des mecs en dessous ?

Tu fais le cador après une chute arrêtée par miracle, t'aurais du te filmer quand l'helico est venu te chercher et que tu devais être tout blanc de peur.

Apprend un peu la montagne avant de la péter et arrête le speed c'est pas pour toi mon gars, tu vas te tuer comme tu vis, comme un gros con.

[EllysaE]

Christ

[ZougTheBest]

Wow! 1:35

[silsterk]

God we love adrenaline!!!!

[malrock1]

he would have either

1 skied

2 sorted out his wing and relaunched

[bookpoi]

How did he get down after the crash?

[chilled99]

yeah its all good till the snow runs out and them crosswinds start pickin up.... yeah

[barbaracolley]

Avalanches will be their devil... much more likely on virgin terrain. Great show... tape them all!!

[jameilious]

I can't die happy till I've tried this. AMAZING!

Je ne veux pas mourir avant que j'essai ce sport! C'est magnifique!

Est-ce que c'est un sport cher si on habite aux montagnes?

Désolé, je ne parle pas courrament parce que j'habite en angleterre en ce moment!

[Meldaran]

Well it's like heliskiing. If you can afford the helicopter lift, should be no problem. Or you can hike to the top by yourself I suppose...

[advensportshol]

Crazy guy! Check out the crash at 3.26 - that looks painful! Glad he survived it!

[meadowsirl]

i jizzed in my pants

[DirekChew]

Speed Riding is fuckingwickedsickawesome! great shots, man looks so fun.

[Yayuro]

Anyone knows the name of the music in this video?

Views area simply amazing!

[cmvanliefland]

In fact, it's a speedrider. That's a combination between parachute and paraglider, specially designed for this purpose.

Antoine Montant won the Speedflying Pro in Les Arcs last week. What he showed was amazing!

[jethangar]

You make James Bond look like a wimp.

[lilbriss]

When a french's speaking english :P no offence

[jemangedesfleurs]

LOL. I'm french, and even for me it's painful to hear.

[bskalak22]

Stupid question but is that a paraglider or parachute?

[windsurfing47]

@bskalak22

Paraglider

[aydree]

It's a parachute. Paraglider have a much higher aspect ratio.

[nicoskwal]

Manque de vitesse pour prendre les airs au moment de l'avalanche, pareil au moment de la chute. Cest chaud de chez chaud. Fait gaffe de pas trop tirer sur la corde, des fois elle lâche.

[professorpaddle]

Amazing but not the highest. Its the 9th highest.

1. Chacaltaya, Bolivia (17k)

2. Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, China (14.8k)

3. Mérida, Venezuela (13.7k)

8. Loveland Ski Area, Colorado, USA (12.7k)

Regardless, that video is sick, and the switch cliff take off was epic!!!

[misile57]

super

[0eden0]

2:27, riding backwards just before the drop off. Thats impressive!

[segorov]

beautiful! what kind of paraglide is used?

[dtqjr]

cool video, gay way to ski

[nitramf]

1:17 epic scene!

it looks really awesome at the point where the snow is shooting over the edge!

[fyttirackarn]

I've been skiing a little here and a little there, Sweden, Norway, Austria, California, Italy and France... But the scenery in Chamonix takes the price it is just unbelieavble! The snow wasn't the best when I was there but anyone skiing should definitely go there! I'll go back for sure! =)

[cynthiannhurt]

WOW!

[sunsurfandspf16]

Anyone know the name of that castle at top of mountain from 0:20 to 0:25? Have seen them wing suit flying past it in other movies.

[sunsurfandspf16]

I think I just figured it out - it looks like the termination point for the cable car.

[anyfuckingdanger]

it's the highest lift station in the world at the top of the aiguille du midi, near Chamonix, France. over 12600 feet high, and the start of some of the best ski terrain in the world.

[bsgreg]

it's in Chamonix, France.

It's called the aiguille du midi

[nusratlaco]

Not only does this require a lot of skiing and canopy-control skills, Antoine is confortable enough to ski backwards (at 2:28), and to keep flying close to the avalanche he just triggered (at 1:15). Very, very cool stuff!

[LofotenDoc]

Live fast, die young!

[northcave]

oh my... seriously sick

[sfvlad]

amazing... just one word

[stemcell4all]

nice cool cool shit, nicest flying I've seen in awhile, get some, get some :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

[mifacrew]

yessss le swich to cliffff heureusement ke des mutants nous montrent la voie...

[kart7474]

Nice shot, wonderful picture, incredible technic but insane.

No respect of the mountain: why laughing after the avalanche? Recognizing the mistake would have been better.

And the crash... well incredibly lucky...

Keep safe Tonio, one lost was enough.

[stephanilus]

Incredible crazy performance from antoine montant .probably the best extreme speedriding movie ever done !

[petzlcrew]

Vas y Tonio envoie du gros!!

[stefaanmichils]

yes How did you get down? Flying?

[freifallspoiler]

Nicht ride! Well done stopping at the end.

How did you get down there with only one ski left and your canopy in a big wrap?

[barneygumble123]

probably by helicopter :-)

[metztheman]

that was farken sick!!!

[Scottskier]

This is are Amazing speedriding shots!!! Respect!!

[Pedr0PT]

That is the best speedriding vid i've seen so far ... And Speedriding is staying on the snow as much as possible ...

[muerm]

Great, this shows where the sport will go! More riding... less flying. The more I play the sport, the more I wanna ride!!! Only the unrideable parts you fly.. Only flying and touch goes is boring...Good ride!!

[mincome]

i have this movie

[mincome]

this was epic!

[FegrusMojo]

Sorry, but he sounds stoned in the video and he got TOTALLY owned in the vid. Speed riding is NOT about skiing, it is about SPEED RIDING down a mountain, ask any speed flyer where there is NO snow. The sport did not start out with snow. The sport is about speed riding AKA 'FLYING' and not skiing at all. It's a very nice production but your showing more skiiing than pure speed riding.

[barneygumble123]

Really funny, that your are defining what "pure speed riding" is.

Montant is pushing the sport to a new level - which is way more inspiring than talking about the meaning of "pure speedriding". :-)

Btw:

If you just fly, better call it "speed flying", "blade running", or whatever.

The common expression for what Montant does in the video is "speed riding".

[nanceio]

Speed riding is riding the snow as possible everywhere
