Speedriding Through An Alpine Resort

A deserted French ski resort. A speedrider with zero fear. And Red Bull turning Avoriaz into a stunt course.

Thanks, Tim Ferriss and his 5-Bullet Friday, for the tip!

During lockdown, Valentin Delluc turned the empty French resort into his personal playground. He flies through chairlift cables, rooftops, balconies, barrels, keys, and even hits wall rides like it’s a terrain park in the sky.
The crew had to plan around rooftops, balcony clearance, wall rides, kickers, and places where Delluc’s wing could snag and ruin everything fast.

You can watch the full short on YouTube.

Director’s Note: This is a Red Bull short starring French speedrider Valentin Delluc. It is basically a Red Bull commercial and I love it.

Release Date: March 2021

Delluc first scoped Avoriaz back in 2016, but lockdown gave him a once-in-a-lifetime chance to ride a completely empty resort.
The wall ride alone required precision planning—the team had to account for a balcony above it so his wing wouldn’t catch mid-line.

Wrap Up:

“Speedriding Through An Alpine Resort” is only a few minutes long, but it’s a 95/100 thrill ride. It’s branded content, but it’s also insane.

Thanks for reading!
