Trapeze artist performs in the sky

People within the extreme sports field are often looking to combine their chosen sport and skills with others, to create some kind of mega extreme sport. Some have been a great sucess, think parkour weighlifting for example. However, some have not been so impressive but thankfully we don’t deal with the more lame attempts of mixing extreme sports on this blog!

This latest extreme sport hybrid comes from the brain of paraglider, Gill Schneider, who dreamt up the idea of mixing paragliding with the circus. His wish was granted recently as he took the skies with trapeze artist, Roxane Giliand, to perform a truly original extreme feit.

Dangling from a 12 foot rope attached to her pilot Gill, Roxane carries out her routine at a staggering 600 metres above above the picturesque Annecy Lake in the French Alps. The background and the act itself result in a beautiful piece of filming.

The good stuff gets going around the 2 minute mark.

Ansell’s To The Extreme Insurance provide quality cover for many extreme sports, including paragliding insurance. Get in touch today to kick off your next extreme adventure.

Extreme mountain unicycling

You may think of unicycling as one of those odd-ball activities that you see performed once in a blue moon, perhaps at a fete. There’s lots of random things going on at fetes isn’t there?

Anyway, professional uncyclist, Lutz Eichholz, has decided to take his skill on the one-wheeled device to the extreme; flinging himself down mountains to be exact. Lutz uses his skill on the unicycle to charge down treacherous mountain terrain, bunny hopping and sliding up and down these impressive surroundings.

Suddenly unicycling doens’t seem so odd, but more adrenalin packed and, most importantly, extreme!

Beware, Lutz is a professional unicyclist so I wouldn’t go trying this on your next holiday. Unless you’re a trained unicyclist that performs at fetes, of course. Maybe your mountainess escapades only stretch to walking, climbing or cycling.

Either way, get in touch with Ansell’s To The Extreme Insurance to get the best tailor made mountain related activity insurance.
