Walking a Mile long Highline - Interview with Pablo Signoret
Added 2018-06-20 14:16:00 +0000 UTCPablo Signoret tells us what it was like to be one of the first to send a mile long highline. On June 9th, 2017 Pablo Signoret, Nathan Paulin and Lucas Milliard with the SDD team (Sangle Dessus-Dessous) led by Guillaume Barrande, all sent the 1662 meter or 5,453 foot long highline. This line was 340 meters or 1115 feet above the Cirque de Navacelles valley.
Antony Newton also almost got the record only falling 152 meters from the end. Friedi Kuhne also walked the first 1600 meter highline rigged by the FRHM team led by Ugo Capozzoli only rigged weeks before (on May 21st, 2017) and only fell 100 meters from the end. All amazing feats in the highlining world.
HEY PATRONS: This was a fun video to make. We were at the outdoor mix festival in Pablo's home town of Embrun, France. In the slackers section of camp, they had a space net so I naturally wanted to do an interview with him up in the net. I hope to get to cross a mile someday. It seems just like every physical and emotional thing we go through on shorter lines... but for hours! :)
