BIOGRAPHY
Hey guys, I’m Jules. Born and raised in the French Alps.
​
I started skiing before I could walk - my parents made sure of that - as they were both ski instructors and hang gliders. They inspired me to get into snow and aerial sports.
​
At the age of 14 years old I did my first paragliding flight. Since then I’ve done many flight and ski competitions. I progressed quickly and got into freestyle/ freeride, which I think is the more exciting stuff.
​
When I started my ski instructor course, I learned more about speed riding and speed flying (the sports I have dreamed of) and I started to travel around the world.
​
Now I live in Val d’Isere, which is my playground and where I work. I have done lots of aerial shows and I have many projects coming up for My Wicked Dude. I am super stoked.
​
My other hobbies include mountain hiking, drawing, travel, and just enjoying life.
