so in general when when I
look at my pictures
the first thing they say is
that I’m crazy not so crazy it makes
still refer to mental health
a little bit degraded but for a
parent is the word that people
use to describe who I am and what
that I do with my board what I
do it in life
after this madness personally I the
consider it a chance she has me
brought a lot of things she brought me
brought being different and
of a passion a path all traced
she brought me the fact of developing
my own worldview and set a
little bit myself the method for
reach my dreams and my goals
the more years pass and the more I
realize the kind of freedom that I could
acquire by choosing this life a
little bit out of the ordinary
this crazy man’s life between yesterday even
after if I compare a little bit to my
life and to our life a little bit at all
on a daily basis at work on the telephone at
computers to social networks at
stress to the bills I say good but
madness
does it reside in the fact of
skip rock bars which
lies in having fun in
mountain with his snowboard to take
some risks
or does it reside in the
to be caught a little bit by
this spiral of everyday life as we
which pumps us all our energy that
turns them into a little soulless robot
I think we all have what we
spoken
to return a little bit back the
destiny put me in the hands of a
colorful character so in
the 90s I was 13 years old at the time
and so jean-michel the floch had
decided to teach us snowboarding at
some friends my brother and me and so at
the time we did not know we were going
learn more than just
slide across the snow at
through my but that jean-michel us
transmit a whole bunch of values that
we wears
finally who still wears me today
enormously values like like the
to take life in your arms
to always see further from always
push the boundaries to be passionate
and to dare to have dreams so the
way he teaches us is a
little bit of all this in the manner of tyne
20 tools teach us snowboarding
were anything but academic
so to give you a little example
so to teach us how to turn so
we were not far from being a beginner
instead of doing that on a flat track
everything ever as logic would like
jean-michel bring us to the wall of
bumps the steepest mogul field
from the station was teaching us to
karavellas in and I remember
still a little bit of face and
the expression he had at the top when
they look at us and said so
you arrive too much and in there you
will get to turn anywhere and
he was starting to laugh the next shot
it took us backflips
so we did not know how to jump it’s a
little bit to tell you the state of mind
in which he was at how much he
was always trying to make us
to try to make us try
new things to always make us
test our limits
so obviously we took the
bowls bowls therefore took to
pulls the larigot from time to time in the
the same three times sometimes but but at
final we knew we were in the
just we knew it was part
of the stuff
and somewhere we were fine
and in hindsight I think one of
most important values that jean
michel transmitted to me was the fact of
to tame this fear that we all
end this fear that I finally have if you’re
my fear I speak for myself but I think
that we are both in this fear of
get out of our notes board
comfort zone team this fear that
can be such a blockage and in the
practice of sport and in everyone’s life
the days so clearly for me these
a few years with jean-michel
were crucial and we were really
to found the person I am
today we base the foundations of all
my career of all that I could
realize until today and I have to
a lot to this person so
today 25 years later in the
always braille braille empty I like
always jump shots like jumping
I like to find I found myself at
top of a line rising sun I like
also find myself in situations
where if I do not act correctly it’s that
things can go wrong
so when I say badly happen I do
obviously referring to death so the
dead who despite everything presents it makes
an integral part of our environment
mountain and the practice of
freeride
it is this death that has always been for
me a pet peeve and despite a patient
which has always been something very
very difficult to manage and face so
in the next video in the next
extract we’ll see a little bit of a
those moments when things got very
very badly spent for me so I you
let judge by yourself
better albina would be worth
hadas years after
[Music]
because young people that ear
yeah the cut
[Music]
so this is a mix this avalanche has
took place not far from here
so it was above orsières so
on a mountain called the
chatelet so she shot me over
two and a half my comrades
found me posed on 8 meters of
snow so face buried in the
snow I was on the verge of asphyxiated at
edge of death
normally this kind of avalanche on years
not survive and it’s clearly a
miracle that I’m here today for
tell you this story is so
you can imagine that after this accident
after grazing the death of so close
so close I finally got everything back
therefore necessarily cause my first and my
first reaction was to want everything
stop after the time at the little pass
and little by little so the weeks the
month and I felt that I had always
in me this passion I felt that
I always had this spark
so I tried to put everything back flat
reevaluate my practice
I’m trying to think about how
I worked to find a way
to continue to practice my passion while
having an acceptable level of risk
so my reflection at my fingertips on the
to become completely
uncompromising in the ways of doing
in my ways of taking my
mountain decisions to do
absolutely no compromise in terms of
security
so on one side I’m talking about madness I
you talk about letting go I’m talking to you
to break the barriers to push back the
boundaries and after on the other hand I you
speaks in a cold mathematical way
Cartesian to operate you go to me
to say it’s two things that are
completely paradoxical who are
incompatible but for my part I think
that the balance between these two ways
to operate diametrically opposed to
been for me a little bit the recipe
magic that allowed me to achieve these
descents is impossible and who has me
allowed to push the limits of my
sport so today
I have a daughter who is 12 years old so I am
often asks the question to tell me is
did it change anything for
you being a father in your way
to manage the risk
so you have to know that at the time of his
birth with his mother we had landed
the question of whether we should
not stop everything and so it is
emerged that somewhere it was a
little bit the way we lived
forever and that was what
makes us happy and that despite the
risks
sending him all this
energy all this passion we
seemed much more valuable than the
frustration caused by the fact
give up on who we really were so
since she is small
I try to convey through the
sport through nature through the
everyday life all these values
that jean michel handed me when
I was younger and 12 years later
I’m really proud to see
the spark she has in the eyes of
see how much I can do
trust and in mountain and in life
everyday and through it I
realize how much this madness is
something essential in life and
how much is it something
this madness is something that must
to be cultivated at all stages of the
life in childhood as everyday
and today my goal is to try
to stay insane as long as
possible and encourage my loved ones my
friends my family is maybe you this
evening out of your comfort zone to
take this madness to your body a
kissed to eat life and because
I’m convinced some parks that the
to be crazy is the fact of being
free thanks
