Francois Ragolski is the Acro World Cup Champion and an XC crack – as happy spiralling onto the raft in an acro comp as he is deep-breathing at 6,000m in the Karakoram.
The subject of our regular My Line feature in Cross Country 156 (Nov/Dec 2014), he reveals what it takes to fly and perform at such a level.
People who don’t know me probably think I’m a little crazy. But in fact I don’t push it. I learn by flying a lot – I like flying six, seven hours a day. And I learn from other who push the sport. They can be a little bit crazy.
