The Private Sport Shop ambassador teased his next documentary "Fuego" with this fabulous run in duet with skier Victor Broquedis.
As we know, Kilian Bron and South America, it's a relationship that lasts for a long time now. The French rider loves to go on the trails of this continent, and has already made more than one video featuring the landscapes of Peru or Chile, when not those of Mexico, further north, but equally hypnotic.
"In recent years, I've been spending a lot of time in South America," explained the Private Sport Shop ambassador in his latest book "Vertige Tout Terrain" unveiled last year. "I fell in love with Peru in 2016, but all the other countries on this continent intrigue me. Even more so when you find active volcanoes and glaciers." In Peru, it was in a sandy environment that the Commencal rider made part of his latest film "Fuego". While the documentary, made over three months in South America, is due to be unveiled in a month's time (and features footage of riding and encounters with local populations), Kilian has revealed a short video shot on the world's highest dune.
And it was with skier Victor Broquedis (also sponsored by Commencal, but for the spatulas) that Kilian Bron headed to Nazca on the vertiginous sand slope of Cerro Blanco. This dune is quite simply the highest in the world, and the French mountain biker had already had the opportunity to descend it as part of the first episode of his web-series called "Mission". "Cerro Blanco rises to an altitude of around two thousand metres," he explained at the time. "We come across delicious scorpions, perfect for a bite to eat, but also huge condors circling above us, waiting to see us dry out at the top of the dune."
No "drying out" for Kilian and Victor, who descended this immense dune together in a perfect duet between skiing and mountain biking. The full Fuego documentary will be previewed at the Pathé cinema in Annecy on February 3.
