Speed Riding Cup III

Speed Riding Cup III

The Spped Riding Cup brings the best riders together in an outstanding area.

After the success of the first ever French Speed Riding Championship in 2009, Samoëns has become a Mecca for Speed Riders.

This is a young sport combining skiing and flying. In fact, Speed Riding is an adrenalin-rush combination of off-piste skiing and paragliding and it is becoming more and more popular, as is obvious from the number of licence-holding members of the FFVL (Fédération Française de Vol Libre).

This year's championship will again attract Speed Riding's great names and initial proponents from France and other countries, giving it a truly European dimension.

Competitions:
- Slalom: a technical contest against the clock.
- Freeeride: the queen of all the competitions where you can see riders at their very bes on the Combe de Gers.

The riders:
The best French riders and the sport's pioneers will all be present - Franck Coupa and David Eyraud (the founders of Speed Riding and managers of the Ataka School), François Bon (Champion of France 2009), Sabine Duvivier (Women's Champion of France 2009), Yoan Castagnoli, Michaël Regnier etc.
