Mountain | reviews | videos | photos
http://www.epictv.com A new world record has been achieved - the fastest descent of the highest mountain in Western Europe - the undeniably massive Mont Blanc. On September 4th, Nicolas Blanchard and David Bozon - two professional paragliders from Chamonix and creators of the EpicTV Chamonix Airways series - took on the challenge to descend Mont Blanc in the fastest time possible in hopes of beating the then-current 32-minute world record held by skiers Antoine Montegani and Nicolas Anthonioz. The two paragliders summited Mont Blanc and hastily set up their speed flying kit. They took off, flew in a straight line to the paragliding landing field of the Savoy, raced to their bikes, hopped on and made it to the church in the centre of Chamonix in just over 15 minutes. This is the video of their amazing feat. Can they be beaten? They don't think so. But that remains to be seen...

Francois bon has done this ages ago . He just didnt run to the church . Its a bit ridiculous , has nothing of a record ...
-
Hahaha, true. So should jogging in ski boots to the church. Well done, amen!
-
It's a descent speed record. Kilian Jornet holds the record for summiting then descending Mont Blanc in just over 4 hours. Don't think anyone feels they can beat that.
-
Funny you should say that... :-)
-
Cycling in ski boots should be an Olympic discipline.
-
It's speed flying, so they needed the skis to take off, then they flew...
-
Try it.
-
Mmm don't wane say it...but do't you think wingsuits can beat that? Awesome and fun job though!
-
Awesome Lads. Am surprised there's no preaching comments about helmets, cycling in ski boots and so on LOL. Terrific record. Respect!
