manpower a huge internet. now when you think of extreme sports it usually involves mountains rivers or even the skies as athletes battle nature to test their limits but that's not the case when you're an ace and pacu up the urban environment provides the obstacle course for free run as they run jump and climb their way over anything and everything and for frenchmen you wonder who the rooftops of paris of the perfect playground. you on the roof has only one chance to make this jump. there are no safety nets below the rooftops of paris park or is a kind of extreme sport the roos been doing it professionally since two thousand and nine. he's built a philosophy around. here. is the art of forward motion pushing
12:32 pm
limits it involves adapting yourself and your body to a certain environments often does becoming obstacles but mentally and physically is its that while. it also means being in continual motion. you want has found an ideal place in the center of paris to get in shape not far from the rusty a pedestrian bridge over the seven offers a wide range of opportunities to practice. viewers are advised against trying this at home no matter how easy it looks when you go on go strolling across the railings . i don't feel as if i'm in any kind of an unusual situation know that i have to be especially careful because ultimately just imagine i'm walking a straight line on the ground if i go by that principle i feel no stress. and there's no reason for me to fall as long as i can walk a straight line. but even the most experienced park or athlete slip up every once in
12:33 pm
a while. i was holding on at this very spot and went to make a three hundred sixty degree turn when i executed the move i slipped and fell in the water. this bridge is ten meters high fortunately i can swim and i got out of the water by climbing up a notch but i'll definitely remember that mishap forever only you can't afford that kind of mistake in this case i was lucky enough to land in the water. so when passers by see him in action how did they react. it is what you want to some people are curious and ask questions they're interested others don't want to hear anything about it they're scared of what they don't you know. i always try to communicate courage instead of fear. just say to. the park who are pro is always on the lookout for new locations to practice
12:34 pm
his passion there are plenty of rooftops in paris but it isn't always so easy to reach them. by a leash system so if the roofs of paris are a gray area in legal terms we're told by the people who live there that you aren't allowed to access the routes via private entrances and there's no way to avoid that really. day your aunt has once again found a way up. his concentration before a jump like this is ferocious one wrong move could kill him. he says he doesn't want to think about the dangers. try personally don't connect what i'm doing to death in any way for me that's a very negative concept and you have to be careful employing it. you can also die just trying to cross the street what extent are so many external factors that can
12:35 pm
be calculated and live with it but at what point i'm out here on the rooftops then it's just me and my body coping with potential dangers of what others view as dangerous lies at the root of my walk with. you one has taken part in many international competitions in two thousand and thirteen he won the world champion title in the discipline he's also founded a french park or team and set up an academy where he teaches others what he knows. to dance book on it's a sport that anyone can practice no matter how old you are or what. kind of shape here and there are no excuses excuses it's about the art of movement and locomotion we all have bodies that we should be using a combination of age or experience. but no one says you have to start by leaping across paris rooftops. next up is a sport that is uplifting to say the least indoor skydiving if like me you're not
12:36 pm
too sure about jumping out of a plane this is the perfect alternative it's just like real skydiving except there's no parachute and no risk of plummeting to sudden death when it malfunctions at all takes place in a vertical wind tunnel maya could since gust started skydiving in her early teens and showed us just how to dance with the wind. this floating dancer earned miles a place in sports history with a first ever title or junior world champion in indoor skydiving. the air in the wind tunnel blows at up to three hundred kilometers an hour every movement is perfect the wind storm doesn't bother the polish athlete she likes it.
12:37 pm
honestly it kind of feels like sticking your whole body out of a moving car leg it's just the same kind of like air pressure but you can control it so it's like sit with for years whatever you do your body does in that area but in the space you get. she takes her moves from other sports. fast dynamic twists come from figure skating. long stretches and figures from projects. where my options could combine some it looks like she's flying. her favorite figure is the pistol. she devises many of her moves in the tunnel cause she has a completely different sense of possibility when she's. like that i don't know on the ground. really. so we're flying it's not like you don't you catch translate anything from ground to fly
