La marraine des NG a pris du plaisir sur la highline. Midi libre – Maxime Cohen

Le parrain et la marraine des Natural games à Millau ont eu droit à une initiation sur la surprenante highline des gorges de la Jonte.

To throw yourself into the void from a plane or from the cliffs of Massebiau, no problem. Extreme sports model Roberta Mancino knows how to do it. Just like Valentin Delluc, used to reaching crazy speeds under his sail. On the other hand, the godfather and godmother of this new edition of the Natural games were not going far when their turn came to hang in the void, on the highline stretched over the site of the vases, in the gorges of the Jonte.

< /iframe></p> <p>The two novices in the discipline still went there with the advice of Salomé Cholet, a freestyle specialist. <em>"It wasn’easy and super impressive, I was really scared,</em>admits Valentin Delluc. <em>I find that the fear ratio, compared to what I do, is a little higher, you feel the element. You're in the sky and you feel the element." </em>Once away from the cliff, he didn't hesitate and tried to get up, in vain. The instructor of the day had challenged her students to stand for at least a second. Fail!</p> <h2 class="txt-int">"A Scary Experience"</h2> <p><em>"It’was a scary experience,</em> smiled the Italian. <em>I thought I was going to be more relaxed but I wasn't, with just something to hold me on, no parachute, it was weird for me. I think that with time we can learn and become more comfortable."</em>She still showed ease at the end of her leash to put on a show with some demonstrations of flexibility to bring back beautiful images of her time in Jonte.</p> <p> <iframe width="600" height="650" src="https://instagram.com/p/C8wufEACR2Q/embed/" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true">

Arriving quite late on Thursday, she hadn't had time to see the festival in all its splendor. "J’ I really liked the mountain bike show with the jumps, the groups were nice and it was nice to see so many people having fun together."

Pleasure of flying for Valentin Delluc

Valentin Delluc arrived earlier. He had already had the opportunity to put on a show in front of the Natural Games audience during the addicted paragliding demonstrations. Much more comfortable under his sail than on a highline, he made spectacular landings on the Maladrerie lawn. "We had perfect weather , I was so happy to be able to fly. We didn't get the raft because it burst and I hope that next year it will be there to make some big noses (a trick, Editor's note) in the water. water."
