--> 00:01:20,536  [man narrating]   At some point in our lives,   we all dream of flying.  4 00:01:20,578 --> 00:01:23,790  [speaking French]  5 00:01:23,831 --> 00:01:25,166  [onlookers]   Yes! Whoo-hoo-hoo!  6 00:01:25,208 --> 00:01:27,376  [man narrating]   Why is that?  7 00:01:27,418 --> 00:01:30,338  [gasping, chattering]  8 00:01:38,221 --> 00:01:42,225  [narrator] And what is it   to be one of these ski jumpers  9 00:01:42,266 --> 00:01:43,643  and wingsuiters...  10 00:01:44,393 --> 00:01:46,354  and highliners--  11 00:01:53,027 --> 00:01:56,364  an individual   that pursues air,  12 00:01:56,405 --> 00:01:58,699  height, flight...  13 00:01:59,367 --> 00:02:01,035  and freedom?  14 00:02:03,955 --> 00:02:06,040  What is the void?  15 00:02:07,250 --> 00:02:10,211  The emptiness   that keeps us afloat,  16 00:02:11,337 --> 00:02:13,381  that draws us towards death?  17 00:02:14,632 --> 00:02:17,218  Or is it   the terrifying alternative  18 00:02:17,260 --> 00:02:18,803  to every decision we make?  19 00:02:21,389 --> 00:02:24,433  We're all surrounded   by this void.  20 00:02:24,475 --> 00:02:26,811  We're all at   the mercy of the universe.  21 00:02:28,521 --> 00:02:30,481  And that scares us.  22 00:02:30,523 --> 00:02:32,275  [speaking French]  23 00:02:34,110 --> 00:02:37,947  The men and women   who stand on the precipice   of their own souls,  24 00:02:37,989 --> 00:02:41,242  while most of us run away,  25 00:02:41,284 --> 00:02:45,079  I wonder if they can teach us   anything about how to live.  26 00:02:47,498 --> 00:02:52,170  This is Tancrède Melet   walking the highline   in Chamonix,  27 00:02:52,211 --> 00:02:54,755  600 meters   above the ground.  28 00:03:04,724 --> 00:03:06,726  He is soloing,  29 00:03:06,767 --> 00:03:11,022  which is to say   he is walking with no harness   and no safety line  30 00:03:11,063 --> 00:03:13,107  to prevent him   from falling.  31 00:03:14,609 --> 00:03:16,527  [man speaking French]  32 00:03:50,770 --> 00:03:53,314  There's a saying   from this sports psych book  33 00:03:53,356 --> 00:03:56,484  that I've read a few times.  34 00:03:56,525 --> 00:03:59,862  It says, a body works perfectly   and the mind gets in the way.  35 00:04:00,780 --> 00:04:02,949  And when it all works right,  36 00:04:02,990 --> 00:04:07,536  in a contest run   or even just riding another day,  37 00:04:07,578 --> 00:04:11,332  that's when it all clicks,   is when you're into that zone.  38 00:04:14,418 --> 00:04:17,338  [French]  39 00:04:25,429 --> 00:04:30,393  [Toa Fraser narrating]   As a filmmaker, I often feel   that I'm walking on a tightrope.  40 00:04:30,434 --> 00:04:34,021  The void is staring back at you   at every step.  41 00:04:35,815 --> 00:04:38,526  Why did I choose this life?  42 00:04:38,567 --> 00:04:40,569  A search for freedom?  43 00:04:40,611 --> 00:04:42,697  The freedom   from constraints?  44 00:04:44,115 --> 00:04:46,867  The freedom to live truly   in my own life?  45 00:04:56,335 --> 00:04:58,170  [man] When you jump,   the time expands.  46 00:04:59,213 --> 00:05:01,424  Your brain   is much more smarter.  47 00:05:02,508 --> 00:05:05,136  It analyzes   with a frame rate--  48 00:05:05,177 --> 00:05:08,055  I don't know.   Very, very fast.  49 00:05:08,097 --> 00:05:12,601  And you really feel   this moment  50 00:05:12,643 --> 00:05:16,731  as a-- as a--   a very powerful moment.  51 00:05:56,062 --> 00:05:59,106  [siren wailing]  52 00:06:08,991 --> 00:06:13,454  [Fraser] What do you say   to people that are pursuing   something so extreme  53 00:06:13,496 --> 00:06:16,999  that they are actively   risking their life?  54 00:06:18,834 --> 00:06:21,170  [Jossi] I don't know   what we're pursuing, man.  55 00:06:21,212 --> 00:06:24,298  It's not like the pursuit   of happiness, 'cause it's   happiness the whole time.  56 00:06:24,340 --> 00:06:26,342  It's not like happiness   is the end.  57 00:06:26,384 --> 00:06:29,136  I don't even know if there's   an end goal, to be honest.  58 00:06:31,180 --> 00:06:33,391  I think the pursuit   is just to...  59 00:06:34,475 --> 00:06:36,435  feel that   as much as you can  60 00:06:36,477 --> 00:06:38,312  the whole time,   like every day.  61 00:06:39,897 --> 00:06:41,941  I think that's what it is.  62 00:06:46,654 --> 00:06:49,990  [Fraser] What is this pursuit,   and what does it mean to me?  63 00:06:52,868 --> 00:06:55,621  What drives people   like Jossi?  64 00:06:56,497 --> 00:06:58,165  [shutter clicks]  65 00:07:00,126 --> 00:07:03,254  Why do they do   what they do?  66 00:07:03,295 --> 00:07:07,675  And why are they   prepared to risk death   in order to find joy?  67 00:07:09,927 --> 00:07:13,556  [Fraser] Tell me what   goes through your mind when   you're skiing in competition.  68 00:07:16,308 --> 00:07:19,812  [Jossi]   There was a zone I would go in,   like the zone people talk about.  69 00:07:19,854 --> 00:07:23,816  You're not thinking   about anything.   Your mind goes blank.  70 00:07:23,858 --> 00:07:26,902  If it's done right,   it goes blank.  71 00:07:26,944 --> 00:07:29,488  When you go out to play   in front of people,  72 00:07:29,530 --> 00:07:32,366  you already know   the notes to play.  73 00:07:32,408 --> 00:07:34,952  And when it comes to that time   to put on a show,  74 00:07:34,994 --> 00:07:39,832  you put the heart and the soul   into it and put those emphases   on that note just so, you know,  75 00:07:39,874 --> 00:07:44,336  elevate that song   to the point of bringing   your own little touch to it.  76 00:07:44,378 --> 00:07:46,422  You watch   a crazy violinist playing,  77 00:07:46,464 --> 00:07:48,716  they've got their eyes closed   and they're wailing away.  78 00:07:48,757 --> 00:07:51,677  They're just--   They're in that zone,   that, like, switch-off zone.  79 00:07:51,719 --> 00:07:54,889  They're not thinking about it.   They're feeling it, kinda.  80 00:07:54,930 --> 00:07:57,016  Feeling their way   through that track  81 00:07:57,057 --> 00:08:00,478  and putting those emphasis notes   on where it feels good   to put them in.  82 00:08:00,519 --> 00:08:04,398  [crowd cheering, applauding]  83 00:08:05,941 --> 00:08:08,903  There's people lined   down the half-pipe  84 00:08:08,944 --> 00:08:11,447  screaming, like--   Yay! All crazy.  85 00:08:11,489 --> 00:08:14,283  But I couldn't hear any of that.   And I drop in.  86 00:08:17,244 --> 00:08:18,287  Everything was like...   [snaps fingers]  87 00:08:25,044 --> 00:08:27,796  All I could hear is, like,   my skis on the ground.  88 00:08:33,093 --> 00:08:35,763  [imitates skis landing]  89 00:08:38,265 --> 00:08:40,684  That's exactly   how I want to ski.  90 00:08:40,726 --> 00:08:43,562  I want to drop in   and just play my music  91 00:08:43,604 --> 00:08:45,856  and put the emphasis   on those notes  92 00:08:45,898 --> 00:08:48,776  to make people go,   "Whoa! Sick!"  93 00:09:05,876 --> 00:09:10,005  One of the things that   drew me into this discipline,   this sport of skiing,  94 00:09:10,047 --> 00:09:12,550  is the creativity   and freedom of it.  95 00:09:12,591 --> 00:09:14,510  There's nobody telling me   how to do it,  96 00:09:14,552 --> 00:09:17,680  telling me how to move my arm,   how to move my leg,   how to grab my ski.  97 00:09:17,721 --> 00:09:20,099  No one is telling me   how to do any of that.  98 00:09:20,140 --> 00:09:24,186  So it's basically   completely up to me and how   I want to express myself.  99 00:09:33,153 --> 00:09:35,573  It all works right   in a contest run  100 00:09:35,614 --> 00:09:38,742  or even just   riding another day.  101 00:09:38,784 --> 00:09:42,496  That's when it all clicks,   is when you're into that zone.  102 00:09:52,339 --> 00:09:54,300  [crowd cheering]   [announcer]   The final jump.  103 00:09:54,341 --> 00:09:57,928  Hard over the shoulder.   Yes! Going for the switch.   Double-14 gets it!  104 00:09:57,970 --> 00:10:01,015  Jossi Wells   just commanding it.  105 00:10:01,056 --> 00:10:05,019  From Kiwi Land.   Doing it for all of New Zealand.   And look how fired up he is.  106 00:10:09,773 --> 00:10:12,359  [Fraser]   Skiing was Jossi's first love.  107 00:10:13,902 --> 00:10:17,031  It's given him purpose,   confidence and acclaim.  108 00:10:19,158 --> 00:10:21,368  While pushing himself   to the limits of his sport,  109 00:10:21,410 --> 00:10:24,204  Jossi broke his neck   in three places,  110 00:10:24,246 --> 00:10:27,916  an injury that nearly   cost him his life.  111 00:10:27,958 --> 00:10:30,502  Yet he went on   to achieve the unthinkable--  112 00:10:31,545 --> 00:10:35,507  a gold medal   at the 2016 X Games.  113 00:10:37,509 --> 00:10:39,845  It wasn't enough.  114 00:10:39,887 --> 00:10:43,223  Was it possible for Jossi   to experience   any greater sense of joy?  115 00:10:45,225 --> 00:10:47,269  He is now heading   to the French Alps  116 00:10:47,311 --> 00:10:50,439  to experience   for the first time   the highline.  117 00:10:53,359 --> 00:10:58,656  [Jossi]   It's the satisfaction   of overcoming...  118 00:10:58,697 --> 00:11:01,283  that fear   that you've had in your brain,  119 00:11:01,325 --> 00:11:03,702  that you've kind of   had set for yourself  120 00:11:03,744 --> 00:11:05,663  that I chase.  121 00:11:12,628 --> 00:11:16,423  [Fraser]   Was highlining going to be   the next phase for Jossi,  122 00:11:16,465 --> 00:11:18,509  or was this about freedom?  123 00:11:18,550 --> 00:11:21,720  If so, freedom from what?  124 00:11:21,762 --> 00:11:24,556  What were the shackles   he needed to throw off?  125 00:11:26,642 --> 00:11:28,769  [Fraser]   We talked about Chamonix  126 00:11:28,811 --> 00:11:32,272  being a place that creates   a sense of humility   and life and death.  127 00:11:33,941 --> 00:11:36,151  [Jossi]   I know Chamonix is like,  128 00:11:36,193 --> 00:11:39,029  the epicenter   of epic mountains in the world.  129 00:11:39,071 --> 00:11:41,115  It's kind of like   the holy grail  130 00:11:41,156 --> 00:11:46,078  of big mountain   extreme skiing.  131 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,038  [woman]   Are you going skiing,   Joss?  132 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,250  [Jossi]   Started skiing at 18 months.  133 00:11:52,501 --> 00:11:55,421  My dad was working   in Whistler at the time.  134 00:11:55,462 --> 00:11:58,549  One of the first words   that I learnt was "ski."  135 00:11:58,590 --> 00:12:03,053  And I would always just   be sitting by the window,   "Ski! Ski!" [laughs]  136 00:12:07,057 --> 00:12:09,685  [Fraser] Jossi is   the eldest of four brothers,  137 00:12:09,727 --> 00:12:11,979  all professional skiers.  138 00:12:13,522 --> 00:12:15,149  Yeah, I'd like to make a job.  139 00:12:15,190 --> 00:12:17,776  I'd like to be a ski racer   when I grow up.  140 00:12:17,818 --> 00:12:20,028  Gonna talk to an ollie!  141 00:12:20,070 --> 00:12:23,657  [Jossi] My whole life,   when I was a grommie, um,  142 00:12:23,699 --> 00:12:27,244  I always seemed to be   a little bit different   than everyone else.  143 00:12:27,286 --> 00:12:30,122  I had long blonde hair,   for one.  144 00:12:30,164 --> 00:12:32,624  Got mistaken for a girl   on a daily basis.  145 00:12:34,209 --> 00:12:36,795  I'd play my violin outside   the supermarket for money  146 00:12:36,837 --> 00:12:39,214  so I could buy skateboards   and skate shoes.  147 00:12:39,256 --> 00:12:42,050  I was a Christian.   I was home-schooled.  148 00:12:42,092 --> 00:12:45,596  And so a whole lot of things   that I was  149 00:12:45,637 --> 00:12:49,183  led to me feeling like   a little bit of an outsider.  150 00:12:51,852 --> 00:12:54,938  My parents got me   into ski racing.  151 00:12:54,980 --> 00:12:58,150  I ski-raced   from the age of seven   up until I was 15.  152 00:12:58,192 --> 00:13:02,112  Trying to go as fast as you can   down a hill, around gates.  153 00:13:02,154 --> 00:13:04,364  It's a really,   really cool feeling.  154 00:13:04,406 --> 00:13:08,327  And it wasn't   until I started free-skiing   and that whole vibe  155 00:13:08,368 --> 00:13:10,287  that I felt like   I really fit in,  156 00:13:10,329 --> 00:13:15,042  because everybody   was really good friends   and everyone rode together  157 00:13:15,083 --> 00:13:17,878  and everyone was   pushing each other   to do better.  158 00:13:20,380 --> 00:13:24,176  I always just thought that I   was little Jossi from Wanaka.  159 00:13:24,218 --> 00:13:26,303  Going from being   that stoked little grommie  160 00:13:26,345 --> 00:13:30,599  to actually being   one of those guys   that the grommies looked up to,  161 00:13:30,641 --> 00:13:32,893  it took me a little while   to get used to it.  162 00:13:32,935 --> 00:13:34,102  Ohh!   [laughs]  163 00:13:37,815 --> 00:13:39,983  [Fraser]   I find these mountains   kind of foreign,  164 00:13:40,025 --> 00:13:42,945  scary and inspiring.  165 00:13:45,113 --> 00:13:46,949  I'm not the only one.  166 00:13:49,076 --> 00:13:52,538  People have been   coming here for centuries   to test themselves,  167 00:13:52,579 --> 00:13:56,291  illuminate their spirits,   their weaknesses  168 00:13:56,333 --> 00:13:58,252  and their strengths.  169 00:14:01,713 --> 00:14:04,633  [chattering]  170 00:14:06,552 --> 00:14:11,139  Le Brévent   is also a revered place   for highliners and wingsuiters.  171 00:14:12,391 --> 00:14:15,310  [chattering in French]  172 00:14:15,352 --> 00:14:17,980  Highline.   The highline webbing.   That's for the highline.  173 00:14:18,021 --> 00:14:19,857  It's good.  174 00:14:19,898 --> 00:14:23,569  [Fraser]   The Flying Frenchies are not   only extreme sportspeople,  175 00:14:23,610 --> 00:14:27,406  but also artists,   acrobats and performers.  176 00:14:27,447 --> 00:14:29,199  Put Jossi on the ground.  177 00:14:29,241 --> 00:14:33,453  To me   they're poets of the mountains   and of the void.  178 00:14:36,331 --> 00:14:38,834  They have   tremendous respect for it,  179 00:14:38,876 --> 00:14:42,004  and yet approach it   with a kind of   comical lightness.  180 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,509  I mean,   the scene is sort of crazy.  181 00:14:49,845 --> 00:14:54,016  And I don't know   if it's some sort of   strange fairy tale.  182 00:14:54,057 --> 00:14:58,228  But it's an understatement to   say that Julien and the rest   of the Flying Frenchies  183 00:14:58,270 --> 00:15:01,440  understand height and fear.  184 00:15:01,481 --> 00:15:04,818  And then we'll do a highline   from, uh-- from the top of it  185 00:15:04,860 --> 00:15:07,195  to the tree just there.  186 00:15:07,237 --> 00:15:09,823  It's not very high,   but it's high enough.  187 00:15:09,865 --> 00:15:13,702  And so, uh, as the fear   is related to height--  188 00:15:13,744 --> 00:15:15,287  Mm-hmm.  189 00:15:15,329 --> 00:15:17,164  You won't have   much fear here.   True.  190 00:15:18,540 --> 00:15:20,792  [speaking French]  191 00:15:20,834 --> 00:15:24,922  [Fraser] Here are Julien   and Tancrède as they recce   the fjords of Norway  192 00:15:24,963 --> 00:15:27,674  for ideal highlining   and flying spots.  193 00:15:28,884 --> 00:15:31,219  [Fraser]   How did you meet Tancrède?  194 00:15:31,261 --> 00:15:35,557  [Julien] I met Tancrède   in, uh, the Verdon Gorge.  195 00:15:35,599 --> 00:15:37,935  Uh, the Verdon Gorge is--  196 00:15:37,976 --> 00:15:41,229  is the mecca   for climbing of France.  197 00:15:41,271 --> 00:15:46,401  I was with, uh,   some friends at a campsite,   and then Tancrède showed up.  198 00:15:46,443 --> 00:15:51,782  He was alone and asked,   uh, if somebody was keen   to climb with him  199 00:15:51,823 --> 00:15:53,742  within the next days,  200 00:15:53,784 --> 00:15:56,912  because he was alone   and you would need to be two,   at least, for climbing.  201 00:15:56,954 --> 00:15:59,498  And we were having just fun   with friends.  202 00:15:59,539 --> 00:16:03,168  I was making my first steps   on a slackline  203 00:16:03,210 --> 00:16:05,629  between two trees   in the campsite.  204 00:16:05,671 --> 00:16:09,299  And I remember Tancrède saying,   "Okay, we can do a highline.  205 00:16:09,341 --> 00:16:12,260  We can go and do a highline."  206 00:16:12,302 --> 00:16:16,348  And so we all went up   in the Verdon Gorge  207 00:16:16,390 --> 00:16:19,184  and set up   a ridiculous highline,  208 00:16:19,226 --> 00:16:23,605  and we just discovered   what was the thrill   of highlining all together.  209 00:16:24,940 --> 00:16:26,566  So I met Tancrède,  210 00:16:26,608 --> 00:16:29,111  I do my first steps   on the slackline,  211 00:16:29,152 --> 00:16:32,280  and two hours after   I do my first steps   on the highline.  212 00:16:33,615 --> 00:16:36,785  Actually, it was   a Saturday or Sunday,  213 00:16:36,827 --> 00:16:41,707  and the next Monday I was   putting my resignation letter   for quitting my job.  214 00:16:41,748 --> 00:16:45,085  So at the same time   Tancrède, also,  215 00:16:45,127 --> 00:16:49,297  was not really, uh, happy   with, uh, his job.  216 00:16:52,509 --> 00:16:54,678  I didn't talk about it.  217 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:56,805  I would just say,   "Okay, next Monday   I'm resigning."  218 00:16:56,847 --> 00:16:59,558  And then he said,   "I will do the same   soon actually."  219 00:16:59,599 --> 00:17:03,353  And, uh, when he saw that   I was ready to do it,   and doing it,  220 00:17:03,395 --> 00:17:05,564  and that we--  221 00:17:05,605 --> 00:17:07,899  We were doing   something together.  222 00:17:07,941 --> 00:17:11,528  We didn't know what,   but we were,   like, just, okay.  223 00:17:11,570 --> 00:17:14,406  We... We are free  224 00:17:14,448 --> 00:17:17,701  to do what we want   for one year, two year.  225 00:17:17,743 --> 00:17:20,287  We were really partners   in this moment.  226 00:17:20,328 --> 00:17:23,915  [shouting]  227 00:17:27,627 --> 00:17:30,255  [laughing]  228 00:17:30,297 --> 00:17:33,842  [French]   [Julien laughs]  229 00:17:35,844 --> 00:17:37,971  All right, once again.   Try it again.  230 00:17:38,013 --> 00:17:40,474  So it stretches.   You can pull a bit back.  231 00:17:40,515 --> 00:17:43,018  All right,   that's a good start.  232 00:17:43,060 --> 00:17:44,770  -Yeah.   -Yeah.  233 00:17:44,811 --> 00:17:47,189  -One, two, three.   -[grunting]  234 00:17:47,230 --> 00:17:49,775  One, two, three.  235 00:17:49,816 --> 00:17:51,860  [all counting together]   One, two, three.  236 00:17:56,865 --> 00:18:00,160  [Fraser]   Slacklining, highlining.  237 00:18:00,202 --> 00:18:03,371  They seem to be very different   from competitive skiing.  238 00:18:03,413 --> 00:18:05,707  [laughs]  239 00:18:07,793 --> 00:18:09,836  [Fraser]   From out of the constraints  240 00:18:09,878 --> 00:18:13,465  and the very specific   concentration and determination,  241 00:18:13,507 --> 00:18:17,052  I wondered about the possibility   of a kind of limitless freedom.  242 00:18:18,637 --> 00:18:22,140  [chattering]  243 00:18:22,182 --> 00:18:25,102  You have good legs.   Good, strong legs.  244 00:18:26,186 --> 00:18:27,854  Yeah?   Mmm.  245 00:18:29,189 --> 00:18:31,566  All right. Come on.  246 00:18:31,608 --> 00:18:33,610  All right?  247 00:18:33,652 --> 00:18:35,487  All right.   Okay.  248 00:18:35,529 --> 00:18:38,657  Okay, did you feel,   when you put the second step,   it stops shaking?  249 00:18:38,698 --> 00:18:41,910  -Yeah.   -But as soon as you touch   the line with the second step,  250 00:18:41,952 --> 00:18:43,578  then it will stop again.  251 00:18:43,620 --> 00:18:46,623  Okay.   So the more you have   your two steps together,  252 00:18:46,665 --> 00:18:50,210  the easier it will be for,   uh, keeping your balance.   Mm-hmm.  253 00:18:50,252 --> 00:18:52,045  Okay.  254 00:18:52,087 --> 00:18:54,881  So you can   push on the leg...  255 00:18:56,341 --> 00:18:58,510  rather than try to--   to jump on the line.  256 00:18:58,552 --> 00:19:00,679  Just push on the leg.   Cool.  257 00:19:04,307 --> 00:19:06,143  Yeah. That's it.  258 00:19:06,184 --> 00:19:09,229  [exhales]   She's shaky, mate.   Yeah.  259 00:19:09,271 --> 00:19:11,273  I can take your hand.   Yeah.  260 00:19:11,314 --> 00:19:13,275  Another feeling   will-- will help.  261 00:19:14,484 --> 00:19:16,319  Okay, and now try to--  262 00:19:16,361 --> 00:19:18,738  Just to feel--   to relax, okay.  263 00:19:18,780 --> 00:19:20,991  So for me your--   your foot are good.  264 00:19:21,032 --> 00:19:25,162  Maybe this one   could be a little bit   more like that, okay?  265 00:19:25,203 --> 00:19:28,415  You can try after to go   on the front, on the back,  266 00:19:28,456 --> 00:19:30,750  to transfer your weight.  267 00:19:30,792 --> 00:19:32,502  Like that, okay?  268 00:19:32,544 --> 00:19:35,922  And after you go in the front,   you can try to do   one step. Okay?  269 00:19:35,964 --> 00:19:39,634  [Jossi] I'm always a guy   that wants to finish something   and accomplish it,  270 00:19:39,676 --> 00:19:42,637  and so I want to   get across it all the way.  271 00:19:42,679 --> 00:19:44,806  That's the whole goal,   you know.  272 00:19:44,848 --> 00:19:49,269  And so I'm getting frustrated   because I can see that   I have a very long road to go.  273 00:19:51,062 --> 00:19:53,523  [Fraser]   So you had a van?   [Julien] Yeah.  274 00:19:53,565 --> 00:19:56,401  [Fraser]   And it was the two of you   in the van. In France?  275 00:19:56,443 --> 00:19:58,695  [Julien]   Yeah. With not much money.  276 00:19:58,737 --> 00:20:04,159  The goal was to   travel to one place,   stay for one or two weeks.  277 00:20:04,201 --> 00:20:07,162  W-We had to live it   a hundred percent.  278 00:20:07,204 --> 00:20:12,500  We are not able   to, uh, go to work   from Monday to Friday  279 00:20:12,542 --> 00:20:14,628  and then just   spend the time--  280 00:20:14,669 --> 00:20:17,589  the weekend time   doing what we wanted to do.  281 00:20:17,631 --> 00:20:21,843  We wanted   to embrace it at its--   at full speed. [laughs]  282 00:20:23,178 --> 00:20:25,013  [Julien]   When we went to Norway,  283 00:20:25,055 --> 00:20:28,558  this was, uh,   one of the biggest trips   we did together.  284 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:32,562  It was only three weeks,   but, uh, we were just   the two of us,  285 00:20:32,604 --> 00:20:35,482  and, uh, uh,  286 00:20:35,523 --> 00:20:39,027  we were discovering   a new place together.  287 00:20:42,989 --> 00:20:47,827  [speaking French]  288 00:20:57,295 --> 00:20:59,839  [Julien] This trip was   a very important trip for us,  289 00:20:59,881 --> 00:21:03,635  because it's   the last piece of training  290 00:21:03,677 --> 00:21:07,472  before being able   to BASE jump or highline.  291 00:21:24,155 --> 00:21:28,285  [singing "Happy Birthday to You"   in French]  292

 I need to strap my ankle up,   I think, guys.  302 00:22:42,192 --> 00:22:45,945  [Jossi] I broke my ankle   three or four years ago   skateboarding pretty bad.  303 00:22:45,987 --> 00:22:48,281  Had surgery on it.  304 00:22:48,323 --> 00:22:50,658  Had about   ten months off skis.  305 00:22:50,700 --> 00:22:53,703  And then for the next year   after that while I was skiing   it was super-bad,  306 00:22:53,745 --> 00:22:56,831  so I had to tape it up   every day before I went skiing.  307 00:23:00,418 --> 00:23:02,587  [exhales]   Okay.  308 00:23:02,629 --> 00:23:05,090  Relax. Yeah.  309 00:23:05,131 --> 00:23:07,675  I flipped it over.   Yeah, you flipped the...  310 00:23:09,844 --> 00:23:13,848  I had stem cell surgery   on them a while ago.  311 00:23:13,890 --> 00:23:16,851  They've been bad   since I was about 15.  312 00:23:16,893 --> 00:23:19,979  My knees   hurt me too.   Yeah.  313 00:23:20,021 --> 00:23:22,107  [Fraser]   As the training went on,  314 00:23:22,148 --> 00:23:26,027  it was becoming clearer   just what Jossi's   shackles were--  315 00:23:28,696 --> 00:23:30,281  his body.  316 00:23:39,582 --> 00:23:43,711  At just 26, Jossi's body   has been beaten up so bad  317 00:23:43,753 --> 00:23:48,049  he has willfully chosen   constant pain in order   to do what he does.  318 00:23:54,639 --> 00:23:57,517  [Jossi] At my first X Games   I was 16 years old.  319 00:23:57,559 --> 00:24:01,479  In the qualifiers   I popped a little too hard   on one of my tricks  320 00:24:01,521 --> 00:24:05,191  and landed really low   and just drove my shoulder   right into the flat bottom,  321 00:24:05,233 --> 00:24:07,944  and I shattered my collarbone   into six pieces.  322 00:24:07,986 --> 00:24:10,655  Had surgery the next day   and got a metal plate put in,  323 00:24:10,697 --> 00:24:13,658  which is still in there   holding me together right now.  324 00:24:15,493 --> 00:24:18,204  I've broken my ankle twice,  325 00:24:18,246 --> 00:24:21,166  three of my ribs   off my spine,  326 00:24:21,207 --> 00:24:24,836  my wrist three times.  327 00:24:24,878 --> 00:24:27,422  I've dislocated   and fractured my elbow.  328 00:24:33,261 --> 00:24:37,807  I haven't skied a day   in the last six years  329 00:24:37,849 --> 00:24:40,393  without pain.  330 00:24:40,435 --> 00:24:44,898  Whether it's minor or major,   I still don't have   a hundred-percent perfect body.  331 00:24:44,939 --> 00:24:48,109  I have my knee problem   that hurts every day I ski.  332 00:24:57,785 --> 00:25:01,414  [Fraser] We weren't designed   to be suspended in the air.  333 00:25:06,044 --> 00:25:10,381  Yet the Flying Frenchies   describe a sense of peace   when highlining,  334 00:25:14,677 --> 00:25:19,265  a peace I glimpsed   when I saw Jossi   training at Le Brévent.  335 00:25:21,142 --> 00:25:24,103  There was also an irony   to Jossi's story.  336 00:25:29,692 --> 00:25:33,029  After breaking his body   through an extreme sport,  337 00:25:33,071 --> 00:25:37,116  he was now seeking   to transcend his body   through an extreme sport.  338 00:25:52,298 --> 00:25:54,259  [Julien]   When you are slacklining   on the ground  339 00:25:54,300 --> 00:25:56,844  and you are just imagining   that you are highlining,  340 00:25:56,886 --> 00:25:59,639  because you don't   want to fall obviously, and--  341 00:25:59,681 --> 00:26:02,850  and a fall   is directly related  342 00:26:02,892 --> 00:26:06,479  to your fear   of falling into the void.  343 00:26:06,521 --> 00:26:11,901  [speaking French]  344 00:26:11,943 --> 00:26:15,196  [Julien]   So when you are highlining,  345 00:26:15,238 --> 00:26:18,366  you can't avoid the void.  346 00:26:18,408 --> 00:26:20,702  You must embrace it.  347 00:26:20,743 --> 00:26:25,957  You must, uh, accept   that it's all around you,  348 00:26:25,999 --> 00:26:28,126  and it's very hard because...  349 00:26:29,502 --> 00:26:33,298  you let your fear   go inside of your brain,  350 00:26:33,339 --> 00:26:36,384  and I-I-I really   like this feeling  351 00:26:36,426 --> 00:26:41,848  when you are   just overwhelmed   with fear of falling,  352 00:26:41,889 --> 00:26:44,517  but at the same time   fighting against  353 00:26:44,559 --> 00:26:48,187  and being able to stay   on this little line.  354 00:26:54,068 --> 00:26:57,280  [French]  355 00:27:07,832 --> 00:27:11,127  'Cause I'm used to,   like, switching off.   Yeah.  356 00:27:11,169 --> 00:27:14,047  'Cause I don't think about   what I'm doing when I do it.   Yeah.  357 00:27:14,088 --> 00:27:16,633  And with this it's like...   concentration the whole time.  358 00:27:16,674 --> 00:27:18,593  It's longer.   It's very different.  359 00:27:18,635 --> 00:27:20,928  I think what you do,   jumping,  360 00:27:20,970 --> 00:27:23,931  is the-- the same we do   as, uh, BASE jumping.  361 00:27:23,973 --> 00:27:27,268  Like we need, uh,   short concentration.   Mm-hmm.  362 00:27:27,310 --> 00:27:30,355  And then   when you jump after   you just, uh--  363 00:27:30,396 --> 00:27:33,399  -[makes whooshing sound]   And do what you have to do.   -Yeah. Mm-hmm.  364 00:27:33,441 --> 00:27:35,568  And your body knows   how to do it.   Yeah.  365 00:27:35,610 --> 00:27:38,029  Just switch off and go.   Mmm.  366 00:27:38,071 --> 00:27:40,615  [Julien] And you fight,   fight, fight.   Aah!  367 00:27:40,657 --> 00:27:43,493  [Anicet] Sometimes you--   you really think you're--   you're falling,  368 00:27:43,534 --> 00:27:46,454  and if you fight,   oh, you get up again.  369 00:27:46,496 --> 00:27:49,999  And two meters after   you get calm.   Mm-hmm.  370 00:27:50,041 --> 00:27:51,959  And then you have   the technique,  371 00:27:52,001 --> 00:27:53,753  and more you have   this relation   with the void--  372 00:27:53,795 -->

 and you don't really   have the right to fall.  378 00:28:31,624 --> 00:28:33,835  [exhales]  379 00:28:35,753 --> 00:28:37,672  Yeah.   Just got it, man.  380 00:28:37,714 --> 00:28:39,549

 it's like the worst feeling   you can have.  427 00:32:16,057 --> 00:32:18,267  [Julien]   Hey, you are a rock climber.  428 00:32:18,309 --> 00:32:21,354  [Jossi] When I was 16,   I could land on a knuckle  429 00:32:21,395 --> 00:32:24,148  and balance, and get back up,   and go do the next run,   and it was fine.  430 00:32:24,190 --> 00:32:29,111  But now falling   does take a bit more   of a toll on the body.  431 00:32:29,153 --> 00:32:31,572  It's also kind of mental too.  432 00:32:31,614 --> 00:32:34,408  I don't like feeling   out of my comfort zone.  433 00:32:43,501 --> 00:32:46,963  Winter Olympian Jossi Wells   has suffered a potentially   career-ending injury  434 00:32:47,004 --> 00:32:50,174  in a free-ski crash   in Australia.  435 00:32:50,216

00:32:58,766 --> 00:33:01,769  So I hit the flat part   right before the landing  438 00:33:01,811 --> 00:33:06,107  and ended up landing   on my back and neck   kind of simultaneously.  439 00:33:06,148 --> 00:33:08,985  And I felt pins and needles   through my legs and feet.  440 00:33:11,737 --> 00:33:14,740  Started to kind of freak out   a little bit as I was

 I sustained a fracture  443 00:33:22,415 --> 00:33:26,085  in the C7 vertebrae,   uh, in my lower neck,  444 00:33:26,127 --> 00:33:27,878  and I've got some other--  445 00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:30,589  a little bit of a step   in C5 and 6.  446 00:33:32,174 --> 00:33:34,093  So yeah, it's not great.  447 00:33:37,304 --> 00:33:39,515  There is   a point of no return  448 00:33:39,557 --> 00:33:43,769  once you hit the transition   where it's too late to stop   and change your flight path.  449 00:33:44,895 --> 00:33:46,897  You have a millisecond  450 00:33:46,939 --> 00:33:51,110  to decide what position   am I gonna put my body in   when I land on this knuckle  451 00:33:51,152 --> 00:33:53,904  to come out of this   the best I can.  452 00:33:57,241 --> 00:33:59,785  I've learned   from my experiences  453 00:33:59,827 --> 00:34:02,246  slapping back and   taking the pressure   off my knees  454 00:34:02,288 --> 00:34:04,498  is the best option   for me.  455 00:34:04,540 --> 00:34:06,709  So that's what I did.  456 00:34:06,751 --> 00:34:09,837  But I had too much speed   and bounced off the knuckle,   and it all turned to custard.  457 00:34:12,590 --> 00:34:15,801  I've never   felt so uncomfortable   in my body,  458 00:34:15,843 --> 00:34:19,388  so uncomfortable   in the air.  459 00:34:19,430 --> 00:34:23,267  It was literally   all out of my control,   and I was just floating back.  460 00:34:23,309 --> 00:34:25,269  I couldn't change anything.  461 00:34:25,311 --> 00:34:28,981  I didn't have any choice   on how I was going to land   at that point,  462 00:34:29,023 --> 00:34:33,652  because I had already   done that and used it up,   kinda, you know.  463 00:34:33,694 --> 00:34:37,615  When you're upright in the air,   you can still move your body   in a certain way.  464 00:34:37,656 --> 00:34:40,785  When I was just bouncing back,   it was completely   out of control.  465 00:34:40,826 --> 00:34:43,120  That was the scariest thing.  466 00:34:43,162 --> 00:34:46,082  I've n-- I'd never felt   that out of control.  467 00:34:55,091 --> 00:34:58,719  [woman] Worst part was   the drive to the hospital.  468 00:34:58,761 --> 00:35:01,430  Three hours   in that ambulance.   That was pretty scary, eh?  469 00:35:01,472 --> 00:35:02,848  Yeah.   I was so miserable.  470 00:35:02,890 --> 00:35:04,892  And not knowing, like,   because we had--  471 00:35:04,934 --> 00:35:09,563  Actually,   we got those X-rays   down in the medic's.  472 00:35:09,605 --> 00:35:13,734  But they didn't know, like,   the extent of the injury.  473 00:35:13,776 --> 00:35:15,861  Yeah, they saw   that it-- they saw   that it was fractured.  474 00:35:15,903 --> 00:35:19,573  So we were, just like,   three hours of, like,   sitting there, like, okay.  475 00:35:19,615 --> 00:35:24,537  That was the scariest part--   a mil away from being paralyzed.   It was pretty gnarly.  476 00:35:24,578 --> 00:35:26,622  [Hannah]   Yeah, it kind of   freaked him out  477 00:35:26,664 --> 00:35:30,209  that something that--   that, uh, just, like,  478 00:35:30,251 --> 00:35:34,213  a tiny bit of speed   could almost change   your whole entire life,  479 00:35:35,297 --> 00:35:38,384  and one millimeter...  480 00:35:39,718 --> 00:35:42,471  could be the difference   between...  481 00:35:43,973 --> 00:35:47,726  your entire future,   like, the way it pans out.  482 00:35:51,438 --> 00:35:55,317  [Hannah] The doctor was, like,   "That's why you felt tingling."   'Cause it actually touched it.  483 00:35:55,359 --> 00:35:58,028  And there was a teeny bit   of fluid in between--  484 00:35:58,070 --> 00:36:02,283  holding that bone   from... paralyzing you.  485 00:36:02,324 --> 00:36:03,993  Literally a millimeter.  486 00:36:04,034 --> 00:36:06,495  Like, that's not a lot.  487 00:36:08,747 --> 00:36:12,918  [Fraser] What do you say   to people who are pursuing   something so extreme  488 00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:15,963  that they're actively   risking their life?  489 00:36:16,005 --> 00:36:17,464  [chuckles]  490 00:36:17,506 --> 00:36:21,051  I think it goes back to,   um, what I said  491 00:36:21,093 --> 00:36:23,304  about   not living in fear.  492 00:36:23,345 --> 00:36:26,640  [sizzling]  493 00:36:26,682 --> 00:36:29,101  We're about to   set this kitchen on fire.  494 00:36:32,646 --> 00:36:35,232  [Hannah]   Skiing is important.  495 00:36:35,274 --> 00:36:39,028  That's who he is.   That's what he loves.  496 00:36:39,069 --> 00:36:43,782  So to take that away would have   been the same if he got   paralyzed. You know?  497 00:36:43,824 --> 00:36:48,329  I mean, there would   have been nothing   really different to him.  498 00:36:52,833 --> 00:36:55,127  [Fraser] Is that why   you do what you?  499 00:36:55,169 --> 00:36:57,838  'Cause you don't want   to live life scared?  500 00:36:57,880 --> 00:36:59,673  Yeah. Like, I'm--  501 00:36:59,715 --> 00:37:01,800  I don't want to be   afraid of...  502 00:37:04,678 --> 00:37:06,972  doing something   because of   the consequences of it.  503 00:37:07,014 --> 00:37:09,350  Like, I'm really aware   of the consequences,   of course.  504 00:37:10,142 --> 00:37:11,644  But...  505 00:37:12,645 --> 00:37:14,939  I don't want to, like,  506 00:37:14,980 --> 00:37:17,483  live life terrified   of what could happen.  507 00:37:29,536 --> 00:37:31,330  [Julien]   The basics of BASE jumping  508 00:37:31,372 --> 00:37:34,959  is just falling,   like, with normal gear,   normal clothes.  509 00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:36,919  So it's very short.  510 00:37:36,961 --> 00:37:40,923  So you spend maybe 30 minutes   packing your parachute,  511 00:37:40,965 --> 00:37:43,092  then you walk   for two hours,  512 00:37:43,133 --> 00:37:46,262  and you have,   like, five seconds   of-- of-- of fall.  513 00:37:46,303 --> 00:37:48,430  So that's   a very intense jump.  514 00:37:48,472 --> 00:37:50,182  But, uh, you--  515 00:37:50,224 --> 00:37:54,478  you may, uh, want more,   uh, free-fall time.  516 00:38:00,985 --> 00:38:02,987  The problem   with BASE jumping,  517 00:38:03,028 --> 00:38:05,155  it's very simple   when everything goes well.  518 00:38:05,197 --> 00:38:08,575  But, uh, it's only when you   have, like, unexpected things  519 00:38:08,617 --> 00:38:11,537  that you realize that actually   it's a bit difficult.  520 00:38:11,578 --> 00:38:15,207  [speaking French]  521 00:38:24,591 --> 00:38:29,096  [Jossi] The idea that   there's something that has--  522 00:38:29,138 --> 00:38:32,308  that has the potential   to be very destructive--  523 00:38:32,349 --> 00:38:35,060  But the flip side   that you live with  524 00:38:35,102 --> 00:38:37,771  is something   that is very creative.  525 00:38:39,523 --> 00:38:42,735  [Julien] I know some people   that start BASE jumping  526 00:38:42,776 --> 00:38:46,530  and after 30 jumps they say,   "Okay, it's not for me.  527 00:38:48,907 --> 00:38:52,828  I love you guys.   I love the family   involved in this sport.  528 00:38:52,870 --> 00:38:58,334  But seeing 25 people   I nearly know dying every year   is not for me."  529 00:38:58,375 --> 00:39:00,586  And I completely   understand that.  530 00:39:03,130 --> 00:39:05,883  Okay.   [counts to three in French]  531 00:39:05,924 --> 00:39:10,679  [Julien] And unfortunately,   uh, being a bit, uh, cold  532 00:39:10,721 --> 00:39:13,766  when you see death   at your door.  533 00:39:15,601 --> 00:39:18,020  You have to, uh,   make a wall.  534 00:39:18,062 --> 00:39:20,439  Otherwise you--   you will stop.  535 00:39:20,481 --> 00:39:23,567  You are getting stronger,   but at the same time   I say to myself--  536 00:39:23,609 --> 00:39:27,571  For example,   I-I'm-- I'm not having   a lot of sad feelings.  537 00:39:27,613 --> 00:39:29,698  So am I a monster now?  538 00:39:29,740 --> 00:39:32,242  Am I just,   like, a shield  539 00:39:32,284 --> 00:39:34,286  and there's   nothing inside?  540 00:39:34,328 --> 00:39:35,871  So you--  541 00:39:35,913 --> 00:39:39,583  That's the problem   when you seem strong   to-- to people,  542 00:39:39,625 --> 00:39:44,463  and to some--   and when you make   a-a strong, uh, mind.  543 00:39:48,842 --> 00:39:52,012  [Julien]   Soloing is one step beyond.  544 00:39:59,269 --> 00:40:01,647  The first stage of soloing  545 00:40:01,688 --> 00:40:05,025  is to just do a highline   attached to a rope.  546 00:40:05,067 --> 00:40:08,821  And then you have the second   stage of soloing stuff is,   like, you remove the safety.  547 00:40:12,199 --> 00:40:16,453  [Fraser] There's no question   that if you're walking across   a highline without safety,  548 00:40:16,495 --> 00:40:20,666  if something goes wrong   then you're--   you're gonna end up dead.  549 00:40:22,126 --> 00:40:24,211  [Julien]   I remember my first solo.   I was like...  550 00:40:26,088 --> 00:40:31,176  feeling that my heart   would just stop,  551 00:40:31,218 --> 00:40:32,928  because it's--  552 00:40:32,970 --> 00:40:34,930  it's so intense.  553 00:40:34,972 --> 00:40:37,224  You have-- I don't know   if it's adrenaline.  554 00:40:37,266 --> 00:40:40,436  I don't know what's--   what's, uh,  555 00:40:40,477 --> 00:40:43,313  uh, in your veins   at this time,  556 00:40:43,355 --> 00:40:45,816  but you feel--  557 00:40:45,858 --> 00:40:49,486  you feel cold, you feel--   [imitates whooshing sound]   and warm at the same time.  558 00:40:49,528 --> 00:40:51,280  It's just so powerful.  559 00:40:51,321 --> 00:40:55,868  You say, like, my body   won't bear this--   this feeling.  560 00:40:55,909 --> 00:41:00,914  And then this feeling   fades away slowly,  561 00:41:00,956 --> 00:41:05,252  and then you   get your skills back   and you build yourself,  562 00:41:05,294 --> 00:41:07,838  and you're--   you're like, okay.  563 00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:10,048  I'm still alive,   I'm still in solo,  564 00:41:10,090 --> 00:41:12,926  and now I'm enjoying   this moment.  565 00:41:15,846 --> 00:41:19,600  Tancrède loved this,   uh, uh, aspect  566 00:41:19,641 --> 00:41:23,770  of just being with   the hand on the balance,  567 00:41:23,812 --> 00:41:25,772  [laughing]   alone with no help.  568 00:41:25,814 --> 00:41:27,399  Whoo!  569 00:41:31,028 --> 00:41:34,615  And, uh, he loved the fear   involved with that,  570 00:41:34,656 --> 00:41:36,617  and controlling this fear,  571 00:41:40,621 --> 00:41:43,248  which is   way, way, way greater  572 00:41:43,290 --> 00:41:46,710  than just   being on the highline,   attached with a leash.  573 00:41:51,381 --> 00:41:55,302  [Tancrède speaking French]  574 00:42:15,781 --> 00:42:17,950  [wind howling]  575 00:42:25,958 --> 00:42:27,626  [man] What do we got?  576 00:42:49,940 --> 00:42:53,735  There's no visibility   at all, so...  577 00:42:53,777 --> 00:42:57,072  With the snow   that's also white, obviously   you can't see anything.  578 00:42:57,114 --> 00:43:00,033  Sometimes if you're not careful,   you can get kind of disoriented,   okay?  579 00:43:00,075 --> 00:43:02,327  So just take your time   when you're walking   on the snow.  580 00:43:11,795 --> 00:43:14,006  [Antoine speaking English]  581 00:43:39,573 --> 00:43:41,033  Hold on.  582 00:44:18,070 --> 00:44:20,447  [speaking French]  583 00:44:20,489 --> 00:44:22,532  [grunting]  584 00:45:14,710 --> 00:45:17,629  There it is.  585 00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:21,717  Nobody wants to go out.   [laughing]  586 00:45:21,758 --> 00:45:24,219  -Yes.   -Ooh!  587 00:45:24,261 --> 00:45:26,805  [laughing continues]  588 00:45:26,847 --> 00:45:29,141  [man]   So the plan for today, guys,  589 00:45:29,182 --> 00:45:31,435  I went to check things   this morning.  590 00:45:31,476 --> 00:45:33,687  Um-- [clicks tongue]  591 00:45:33,729 --> 00:45:36,231  There's a little bit more wind   than yesterday.  592 00:45:36,273 --> 00:45:40,569  And also the wind has turned.   Now it's more... west coming.  593 00:45:40,610 --> 00:45:45,115  So it hits the-- it hits   the line a little bit more,   so I think...  594 00:45:45,157 --> 00:45:47,701  [Julien]   'Cause the wind won't stop   and will increase, huh?  595 00:45:47,743 --> 00:45:50,746  [man] The wind will probably   increase at noon,  596 00:45:50,787 --> 00:45:52,831

 in the way that you describe,  602 00:46:10,474 --> 00:46:15,937  is more to do with dopamine   than it is to do   with adrenaline.  603 00:46:15,979 --> 00:46:18,356  [Jossi] Adrenaline   is not really a nice feeling.  604 00:46:22,319 --> 00:46:24,404  Adrenaline is like a...  605 00:46:26,198 --> 00:46:28,533  uncontrollable feeling.  606 00:46:31,369 --> 00:46:35,415  [Jossi]

 This is hard-core.  667 00:50:49,294 --> 00:50:53,006  [Fraser] When you're out   of your comfort zone   and out of control,  668 00:50:53,048 --> 00:50:56,885  you said, "If I don't walk   across that line from one side   of the cliff to the other,  669 00:50:56,926 --> 00:50:59,846  then it's not worth doing."  670 00:50:59,888 --> 00:51:01,806  [Jossi]   Yeah. I had a rope on me.

 [Julien] It was really important   to enjoy this moment  689 00:52:03,243 --> 00:52:05,870  because the friendship   was the key moment.  690 00:52:05,912 --> 00:52:07,789  It's not about highlining.  691 00:52:07,831 --> 00:52:12,544  It was just about   doing crazy highlining   in crazy conditions.  692 00:52:12,585 --> 00:52:15,088  Before, I was result-driven.  693 00:52:17,382 --> 00:52:21,970  And now, I'm more into   sharing the moment with people.  694 00:52:22,011 --> 00:52:26,558  It's sometimes stronger   than just crossing for yourself.  695 00:52:39,070 --> 00:52:41,072  When we jump, we are alone.   When we--  696 00:52:41,114 --> 00:52:44,242  When we are highlining,   we are alone on the line.  697 00:52:45,743 --> 00:52:48,621  You have this freedom,   you have this graceful moment.  698 00:52:48,663 --> 00:52:50,623  And you...  699 00:52:50,665 --> 00:52:54,419  you just say, "Okay, I...   It's worth it for me.  700 00:52:54,460 --> 00:52:56,421  I need this."  701 00:52:59,048 --> 00:53:02,051  [Fraser]   Is that why you do it?   For that moment?  702 00:53:02,093 --> 00:53:06,681  [Julien]   I... At the moment,   I can't live without it.  703 00:53:06,723 --> 00:53:09,517  I need to do it.   It's, uh-- It's part of me.  704 00:53:11,269 --> 00:53:14,772  The other answer I know   is that it will not last.  705 00:53:25,325 --> 00:53:27,118  [laughing]  706 00:53:27,160 --> 00:53:28,661  Whoo!  707 00:53:28,703 --> 00:53:30,914  [Fraser] It feels like one   of the most important aspects  708 00:53:30,955 --> 00:53:32,665  is that camaraderie?  709 00:53:32,707 --> 00:53:34,709  [laughing]  710 00:53:34,751 --> 00:53:37,795  The clown can leave the circus,   but the circus cannot   leave the clown.  711 00:53:41,299 --> 00:53:44,802  This is how you build   the best friendship ever,   I would say.  712 00:53:46,471 -->

00:53:56,189  to go and fly off a mountain,  716 00:53:56,231 --> 00:53:58,608  and, you know,   Tancrède remembered  717 00:53:58,650 --> 00:54:02,111  that, um, okay,   he was being very free,  718 00:54:02,153 --> 00:54:06,032  but he was also using   a lot of consumer goods,   a lot of toys--  719 00:54:06,074 --> 00:54:08,451  [laughs]   as we like to call them.  720 00:54:20,505 -->

 that he was just about,   uh, adrenaline  724 00:54:45,697 --> 00:54:48,491  and feeling   and living a hundred percent,  725 00:54:48,533 --> 00:54:50,576  but he had also this side of him  726 00:54:50,618 --> 00:54:55,248  where there was a lot   of deep reflection about life   and the way you live it.  727 00:54:57,625 --> 00:55:00,378  [Tiphaine]   Sometimes he was, like,

01:12:35,724 --> 01:12:38,310  Here's the jumping place,   where there's still   some stuff to do.  921 01:12:38,352 --> 01:12:40,354  But basically,   you see here,  922 01:12:40,395 --> 01:12:42,356  this is the stairway   to heaven.  923 01:12:42,397 --> 01:12:44,024  [laughs]  924 01:12:44,066 --> 01:12:46,902  Yeah, here you see   the platform.  925 01:12:47,903 --> 01:12:49,571  This muddy place--   Yeah.  926 01:12:49,613 --> 01:12:51,573  is where you will   start the jump.  927 01:12:54,451 --> 01:12:58,455  [Fraser] I thought this rope   jump was just a low-fi kind   of bungee jump,  928 01:12:58,497 --> 01:13:01,291  something designed   for a thrill.  929 01:13:01,333 --> 01:13:05,587  But Anicet told me they use it   as training for BASE jumping   and for wingsuiting,  930 01:13:05,629 --> 01:13:08,298  as a way of learning how to fly,  931 01:13:08,340 --> 01:13:11,385  how to move your body   and be stable in the air.  932 01:13:16,848 --> 01:13:19,017  And it makes me realize  933 01:13:19,059 --> 01:13:23,563  they aren't crazy,   suicidal risk-takers.  934 01:13:23,605 --> 01:13:27,651  What these people do   is about minimizing risk,  935 01:13:27,692 --> 01:13:30,404  training   and preparing fastidiously  936 01:13:30,445 --> 01:13:32,656  to face incredible challenges.  937 01:13:34,699 --> 01:13:36,743  [grunts]  938 01:13:36,785 --> 01:13:38,286  It's heavy.  939 01:13:39,663 --> 01:13:41,164  [Freddy] All right. You good?  940 01:13:42,332 --> 01:13:47,295  All right. Three, two, one.  941 01:13:47,337 --> 01:13:49,506  See you, mini Jossi.   [Julien] Bye!  942 01:13:50,298 --> 01:13:52,551  Whoo!   [laughing]  943 01:13:52,592 --> 01:13:55,971  What?  944 01:13:56,012 --> 01:14:00,183  [Fraser]   Is it with fear as our soul mate   that we find freedom?  945 01:14:04,187 --> 01:14:05,730  [Julien speaking French]  946 01:14:15,240 --> 01:14:16,700

 that I didn't really realize   when we began the journey  950 01:14:39,514 --> 01:14:43,435  was how important   height and air  951 01:14:43,477 --> 01:14:45,854  and, kind of, flying is  952 01:14:45,896 --> 01:14:51,276  to the pursuit of freedom,   not just to you,   but to the Frenchies.  953 01:14:51,318 --> 01:14:53,904  We're not made to fly.  954 01:14:53,945 --> 01:14:56,031  It's not, like, in our DNA.  955 01:14:56,072 --> 01:14:59,159  We don't have wings.   We can't fly.  956 01:14:59,201 --> 01:15:04,289  I don't know   if it's the way you grow up   or if you're born with it,  957 01:15:04,331 --> 01:15:07,542  because there's only   a small percentage  958 01:15:07,584 --> 01:15:11,171  that are gonna want to go   and jump off a massive cliff   with a parachute.  959 01:15:11,213 --> 01:15:14,508  Only a small percentage   that are gonna want to go   and hit a hundred-foot jump  960 01:15:14,549 --> 01:15:16,760  on skis or a snowboard.  961 01:15:16,801 --> 01:15:21,139  All the guys that kind of   live on the edge.  962 01:15:21,181 --> 01:15:24,768  You're aware of where the edge   is 'cause you have to be,   or you're gonna fall off.  963 01:15:27,437 --> 01:15:31,399  Yeah. Here. And back.   Yeah. Exactly.  964 01:15:31,441 --> 01:15:37,113  [Fraser] You risk serious injury   every time you go out there.  965 01:15:37,155 --> 01:15:39,991  Is it worth it?  966 01:15:40,033 --> 01:15:44,454  Is it freedom   if you're putting your life   at risk like this?  967 01:15:44,496 --> 01:15:46,289  Hmm.  968 01:15:46,331 --> 01:15:48,208  How do you live with that?  969 01:15:50,710 --> 01:15:53,213  It's the only way to live.  970 01:15:53,255 --> 01:15:56,174  Not just feeling alive,   but feeling like you're...  971 01:15:57,300 --> 01:16:00,512  constantly progressing yourself,  972 01:16:00,554 --> 01:16:04,307  constantly doing something   you haven't done yet.  973 01:16:05,642 --> 01:16:07,811  It's just too good   to not do it.  974 01:16:09,563 --> 01:16:14,276  I'd rather give every single day   of my life a hundred percent  975 01:16:14,317 --> 01:16:16,152  and do exactly   what I want to do...  976 01:16:16,987 --> 01:16:19,447  in those days  977 01:16:19,489 --> 01:16:21,616  than to live   a whole life of regret  978 01:16:21,658 --> 01:16:27,122  and... be sitting there   in a rocking chair at 80,  979 01:16:27,163 --> 01:16:29,874  saying, "Man,   I wish I never stopped.  980 01:16:29,916 --> 01:16:31,876  I wish I'd kept doing it."  981 01:16:31,918 --> 01:16:35,255  It's not going to last forever.   Pain is temporary.  982 01:16:35,297 --> 01:16:38,133  [Fraser] I love that you   use the word "temporary,"  983 01:16:38,174 --> 01:16:41,219  but, I mean, you were just   talking about the experience.  984 01:16:41,261 --> 01:16:46,182  But when you first used it,   I assumed you were talking   about life being temporary.  985 01:16:50,186 --> 01:16:54,065  It's so temporary   that if-- I think   if you look back--  986 01:16:54,107 --> 01:16:57,027  I want to look back   and know that  987 01:16:57,068 --> 01:16:59,529  all those temporary moments,   I gave it a hundred percent  988 01:16:59,571 --> 01:17:01,406  and I did it   to the fullest.  989 01:17:04,159 --> 01:17:05,577  Okay, Jossi.  990 01:17:19,674 --> 01:17:22,552  Look up.   Yeah.  991 01:17:22,594 --> 01:17:24,346  All right.   [breathing heavily]  992 01:17:24,387 -->

 What does freedom mean?  1011 01:19:04,404 --> 01:19:06,781  What is its cost?  1012 01:19:06,823 --> 01:19:11,077  It seems to be a life spent   in the constant pursuit   of an ideal.  1013 01:19:12,787 --> 01:19:15,039  We are all freedom's slave.  1014 01:19:16,166 --> 01:19:18,042  That's the terror of it.  1015 01:19:22,380 --> 01:19:24,841  I wonder if Jossi   dreams of flying.  1016 01:19:27,552 --> 01:19:30,513  In all our time together,   I never asked him.  1017 01:19:32,474 --> 01:19:34,392  Julien told me he doesn't.  1018 01:19:35,560 --> 01:19:38,104
