Are you alright ?
So here's our first day in Terres Rouges
A french desert which is approximately one kilometer square
It's been a long time since I wanted to do a project in this place
It will be a bit different from what we're used to do
That will have more big jumps with slides or other moves
We clearly don't know how it's going to look
But we will try our best to create a big video
The others are already searching for spots, it's already started
When Leo comes with a frontflip, he leaves running full speed
I'm prepping for a small jump
So it's going to be a frontflip right there
And someone comes from over there
I will be in front of you
And I see Fab on the side
Mehdi you lower yourself down
and after that you run at the same speed as us
You run at the same speed as me
and at a moment I will pop on your left
Then you do side to side and you go
Come on we try it
3,2,1 Go!
Mehdi!
Stop it I've fallen down
You hurt ?
It twisted ?
My ankles are so weak
First line of the day, first ankle sprained
It's treacherous because some areas have soft sand but below it there's hard ground
If you slip on one side it goes directly in this direction
His ankle went this side and it didn't feel good for him
Afters Fab's ankle we keep on searching other areas
We will come back tomorrow to shoot it better
The clouds are spoiling the light, the weather doesn't go our side
We're on Mars!
In the area, people come and jump from everywhere
They come from every direction
It's a little bit sketchy because
the rock isn't always sturdy enough
Sometimes it can collapse
like over there
If you fall because of that, it hurts a lot
Biggest part of this video is to write something with all the rocks
So everybody takes part
Holy shit! It will explode soon
So, we're currently in the Terres Rouges
shooting a big parkour video project
And we're kind of stuck
Stuck because of the storm
The sunset with the storm make a beautiful moment
That's why I do this job!
So here we're well-placed
We don't have any rain falling on us, the ceiling is sturdy
I mean it doesn't fall apart
You feel safe right?
It's quality there
Day 2
We're back
In the Terres Rouges, under the heatwave
We're going to try to do the lines we spotted yesterday
What could be really cool would be
one coming, and the others are hidden at the beginning
We need to pilot the FPV drone well enough
We're currently shooting a FPV line
but it's so hard to organise ourselves
So that people can appear at the right time
We're on our third try, I hope it will be good
Let's Go
Go Mathieu
Go in front
Mehdi speed up!
Sick! That's so sick
Even if he passes over that's alright
It's good that it looks sketchy
Yeah, it looks really good!
Second big line
-Mathieu? -I'm ready
Its a complete failure
Here we go again for the fourth time I think
Val, whenever you're ready
You ok ?
Did it twist ?
Come on! You can put your weight on my shoulder
Are you alright Val ?
It's dead for the line
Second ankle sprain of the trip
It will be complicated to complete this project
Because Val has just sprained his ankle
during this line in the crack
So we don't know what we're going to do
If we take him to the hospital or not
We're preparing the landing area for Leo
So that he can do a frontflip here
And right after we come from there
So everybody lands here
The reception has to be as soft as possible
So that we don't hurt ourselves
Cut it out!
So we've just finished a line
Not without trouble
For real, we dug it out from the desert
We are so happy about it!
So now we keep moving and we're searching for other spots
Any source of water is used
We're walking to get to the next spot
which will be the last line of the day
It's a little line with flips
Louis does a dubside over there
And a gainer for me there
What's the plan Louis ?
I don't know, maybe dubside
But the takeoff is kind of gross
I don't know if I go to the side or straight ahead directly
But I really need to undershoot it
That's the end of the second shooting day
Kind of trying, we lost a few guys during it
But we managed to have a few solid lines
And we're coming back tomorrow at sunrise to keep shooting
Right now, we'll go swimming
I've always dreamt to have the front lever
But I don't have the strength
So I've found a way, doing it underwater
In fact, I don't have any breath-holding
I'm trying as hard as I can
I can hold it 5 seconds max
Apparently, Louis is feeling sick
Louis, how are you feeling ?
I'm not feeling good at all
Right now, we're 4 still up
But yeah!
I think tomorrow we'll be 3 for the pole test
I hope I have a chance
I've rallied myself to Félix for the next council
I'm suspecting Leo to have found an immunity necklace yesterday
So I'll test him to see if it's true
Third day in the Terres Rouges
We lost loads of people
Louis Meynard this morning, he's sick
We'll try to finish the intro line
So we're heading towards the spot
Here we go for the FPV shot, one more try
Yes sick!
It looks like the drone is skimming me
Here we go for another try
When he passes near me, it feels like a big bug
I'm gonna do a straight running jump
For a FPV shot
And I put my sunglasses on because when i did it yesterday,
I had dust in my eyes and i couldn't see anything
My eye got totally blind for a moment
That was a bit scary!
We've just found a cool spot
A kind of jump over a crack
In the first place,
this place is used a lot by mountain bikers
So they've built a lot of jumps
And we use them as well
So the jump has a takeoff which is used for bikes
Let's go check this out
And we land over there
We try it ?
Yes let's go!
Leo, you ready? - Yep
That's a wrap for today's shoot
And it is currently 2 a.m
Everybody is hungry right ?
Leo wants some healthy food
It's the fourth day of shooting in the Terres Rouges
We've decided to sleep on site
And we've woken up at 7:45 a.m
So that we can shoot without the hard heatwave
I think it's around 8:20 a.m
And we'll start the first lines
So the idea is to film a POV scene
where everybody runs
So we're in the Terres Rouges, there's no lake
and we make a transition with the drone shot
that we shot yesterday in the lake
That's the idea, let's go!
So, how is it ?
It's so hard to stay upright
It's shaking a lot
I think I went too soon
No that's pretty good actually
After the POV run from this morning
we've come across a huge sliding descent
We are trying it
We found a slide here
But there are rock formations
If we slide on it we hurt our butt
I'll try to get them out of the way
It's to avoid an ankle sprain
It's very hard right there!
We have to do it one shot
Because the climb is too tedious
I can't go up anymore
Shit!
Wow! I'm too tired to climb back up
I'm taking a break
Can you pass there ?
You have to see my roll!
Show your Indian paintings
Second take! Let's go!
The slide was difficult
It wasn't slippy enough at the end
We are back at the big canyon spot
To try again this line over there
With a dubside, stall gainer and Mathieu jumping at the same time
Louis has just come back from a illness
And he has to do a dubside
He has to warm up first
And after that, they'll do the whole line
It's a pretty complicated line
The timing is perfect there
Another line in the bag
We keep on searching for other spots
We are almost on midday, so it's boiling here
And we don't have water anymore
It's beginning to get difficult
And some of us are hungry
I can't stand it anymore!
To be spinning on wheels!
This project is making me go crazy!
Wait, wait! We do it again!
You arrived too late
Wait, stop, we do it again
Shit, my shoulder!
So yeah for my loyd,
I landed with all my weight on my shoulder
I think I've under rotated
I hurt me a bit
But it's the last shooting day
So I'm going to give all I got
Little jump!
And little slide here
We use a rock to get rid of some sand
It's alright, isn't it ?
I didn't think he would have landed there
Come on we try it
It's when I go you go
It hurt my back a little bit
I think the timing is good
Get a bit closer
Ok don't worry, it's just because of the roll
It's rolling!
Another line in the bag
One part of the group stays here and explores, and the other part goes to get some water
We saw a source of water
So we're going to refresh ourselves
There is no water ? - No
Now we're stuck
We thought there was water here
But now we're stuck together here
We have to climb up this
On the video it looks so easy
We're coming back up!
The exploration completely failed
They got stuck
They are hardly getting back there
Because they can't pass over there to rejoin us
It looks complicated
I went in exploration alone for a few minutes
We split up the team
And I got lost
I don't really know where I am
And I don't know how to get back to the others
I really don't know what to do
So I'm wandering alone
I hope I can find something
Wait a second!
I got something!
I think I've found a solution to find them back
We've just found a line in a crack
I think it will look cool
There is no big jump but if we go fast enough
It may look decent
But we don't know how to do this
Because there is water and a bee colony lives there
So I hope we'll not get stinged
So here's the run
We start from up there
We get down
We arrive there,
We run
And we do this small jump
And the line finishes there
We didn't eat
We don't have any more water
We need to one shot it
Otherwise, we'll be too tired
Ok let's go!
You do a roll ?
No, I only do this
It's just a test
Ok, that's perfect
Yes! That was way better
Fucking hell, that was a last ditch-attempt
Fuuck!
We get away from this desert, I cannot take it anymore
It's the last day
Nobody can support the heat, everybody's too tired
It's a mess
Tiredness for everyone, we're dehydrated
Somebody sprains his ankle almost everyday, so it's shit
That's perfect
That was crappy - Yeah!
You need to go slower when you slide over there
Leo you can jump again from there
To there
So we can see you jump and I'll pass under you
Ok so here we go again!
Are you alright ?
Should we do it again ? - No that was enough
It's crazy how when I do a slide, it cuts my hand
So that's a wrap for this shooting project!
