Eric Barone behind the scene of his full moon ride

FULL MOON RIDE started as a simple idea, like an unreachable dream. Eric Barone wanted to go down the fastest ski slope in the world, on his mountain bike, by night, lit only by the full moon! Eric wanted to make this dream a reality, even if it sounds crazy ! Throughout his career, the multi-recordman performed many exploits, including his mountain bike speed World Record downhill on snow in 2015 in Vars with 223.30kph and his World Record on earth in Nicaragua in 2002 with 173kph!
But this year the "Red Baron" wanted to practice his discipline with a whole new approach. Even if extreme sports and mountain bike side have been much emphasized in his career, Eric was looking for a more artistic performance this time. He wanted to share with the spectators the sensation that he can feel when he "falls" from the top of the ski slope. He dared to tell a story, but mostly convey deep emotions. Once again, Eric Barone has performed a World Premiere on Saturday, January 23d, 2016 at 10:20pm, under the Full Moon!
Dressed in a LED lightened-suit, the multi-recordman went down the legendary speed ski track of Vars (fastest slope in the world) with his bicycle by night. This video shows not only the athletic and artistic performance, but it also highlights the scale of the project and the amazing mental, physical and artistic preparation.
