For the third time, a justACRO team member took part in one of the most exciting multi-sport events, the Nissan Outdoor Games. The concept is simple: 5 teams, 5 sports and 5 days to create a 5 minutes movie! This was the second winter edition, held in Chamonix which is of course a prefect location for all the sport arts like freeride skiing and snowboarding, mountain climbing, base-jumping, paragliding and speed-riding. Compared to the summer edition, the job is even a bit tougher, not just because of the winter conditions, but also the days are much shorter and there is simply less time to shoot, so the teams have to be time effective and the storyboard well planned.

Sample Image

Pál joined the team Insomnia, first of all to do speed-riding together with the Ueli Kestenholz and some paragliding acro action as well. The Team just got organized together in the last minutes, some athletes like Pál joined in the last days, and there was no well prepared storyboard, the plan was just simply to put the sports together, link them with some nice, funny connections, just focus on the action itself and enjoy this challenging week. Ueli, Pál and the film crew made a great job and some great speed-riding images, probably the most spectacular ones on the event.

On Saturday, like last year, Pál took part in the "worlds highest airshow" as well which consists of wingsuit base jumping and paragliding acro. Unfortunately due to the extremely strong high-altitude wind the pilots could not jump from 4500 meters as it was planned, to fly in front of the terasse of Aiguille du Midi (3842m), so instead they dropped at 3800 meters to impress the public at the Aiguille middle station. Then in the afternoon another show was held at the busy ski resort of Grande Montets where at least 400 skiers gathered together to watch some of the best acro pilots and wingsuit flyers in the world.
