Following the spectacular kite jumps performed by British rider Lewis Crathern over the Brighton and Worthing piers, the rider also known as "Ruben Len10" does the impossible.

This is a short edit that trys to show our perspective on such a unique kitesurfing location. I’ve shot the entire film on a Canon 60D and edited in Premiere Pro. As I move from single frame…

    13 May 2012 | 6:00 am
    The forecast for Thursday was good so we bought tickets and headed up to the Aguille du Midi.  I chatted to a group of 6 French alpine soldiers in the telepherique.  They are based near Bourg St Maurice (near Val d'Isere) and were heading up for some training.  There were very friendly.  One mentioned the speed flyer  who had died up there on Monday. Getting out of the tunnel into the sun was a breath taking experience.  The view is superb.  The Matterhorn, Monte Rosa, the Grand Combin, Mont Blanc and all the peaks around Chamonix were clear, we could even…

    We headed out from the Argentiere hut and skied up for a short distance toward the Col du Tour Noir.  We say Andy and Heiko climbing a steep couloir on the Aguille Rouge, then skied back down to the Argentiere Glacier on firm icy snow. We met up with Simeon below the hut and skied down the glacier for a bit.  Simeon headed back to the Argentiere lift while Mark and I tackled the Col du Passon.The steep traverse on icy snow was quite intimidating.  We started walking with our crampons on but were soon punching right though the icy crust, so we swapped to skis with skins.  A…

Once again it was hot climbing.  Our skins balled up badly too which slowed us down a lot.  We were following the tracks of a party led by Dan, a Canadian guide and his wife.  Mark decided to wait at the bottom of the final pitch - a steep…
