PUSHING THE LIMITS

  • FULLHD

  • DIRECTED BY THIERRY DONARD

Constantly imagining the unimaginable and finding ways to push their own limits is undoubtedly a source of intense satisfaction for these extraordinary athletes we call “freeriders.”

Most of them have become stars in their own right on the Internet, where their athletic achievements are admired by countless fans. Their playground is untamed nature, where many of the feats they attempt would have seemed unimaginable only a few years ago.

Pushing the limits is not simply about showcasing a few daredevils rolling the dice of life. It is about exploring the boundaries of the unknown, learning how to stretch our own limits while remaining aware of the possible consequences and humble enough to let go when necessary.

These athletes, who constantly live on the edge, remind us that they are, after all, simply human beings.

Travelling across time zones in search of the energy generated by the forces of nature, Pushing the Limits tells the stories of extraordinary people and their unique relationship with the elements.
