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.
