Team

Ambroise Serrano

Ambroise is a mountain lover and grew up in Haute Savoie. He is the young gifted of the team, but it is not him who will say so. He will carefully avoid mentioning his know-how behind a humility that is beyond reproach. Yet Ambroise, at 26 years old, has already made more than 3700 aeroplane jumps, and 250 Base Jump jumps. He is a tandem jumper (BPJEPS and USPA), instructor (PAC and AFF), wind tunnel instructor, Base jumper, wingsuit coach, speedflyer and speedrider.

Vincent Cotte

Vincent, Veush, is an accomplished athlete with multiple talents. A high level gymnast, bass player at the conservatory, he even found the time to win the title of vice world champion in freefly, and world champion in BASE jump in team with Vincent (le Blond) and Mathieu Leroux. You can follow his exploits on his instagram or his youtube channel, it's worth the diversions, and it says a lot about what he can do! And to top it all off, he's as nice as he is beautiful.

Jim Fabre

Jim is an enthusiast. He's a real enthusiast. And a bit of a maniac too, but for a rigger, that's a quality. He has chosen to accompany the team in all its projects, and has already spent several sleepless nights imagining the most ingenious systems possible to increase the safety of the equipment. And when he is armed with his sewing machines, nothing stands in his way! Without him, it is likely that the numerous adaptations made to our wingsuits would never have seen the light of day. Like a hermit in his cave, we go up to his workshop in the heart of the Bauges, and we usually leave with his wisdom and his improbable puns.

Cédric Noël

Cedric came into the team as a blessing. We all knew each other for a long time in the small world of wingsuiting where he is also an initiator, but were not yet aware of his other talents! When in 2020 the pandemic prevented the assembly of the E-wings turbines in the Czech Republic, he flew to our rescue with his experience as a model aircraft technician and race bike preparer. Cédric is creative, ingenious and always in a good mood. He is a real ray of sunshine, even when the day consists of soldering wires in a dark basement on a rainy day...

David de Nardis

David is an Alsatian with the soul of a migratory bird. After a world tour, he settled in China as an engineer on LNG tankers. He has been living there for more than 10 years with his family. It was his Iron Man-inspired dreams that gave him the idea for E-wings and pushed him to get closer to Vincent. He is the kind of man who follows his dreams, no matter how big they are! David does not yet skydive, but occasionally practices wind tunnel flying with his son.

SQUIRREL

Since 2012, the flying squirrel brand has grown to become the most innovative and successful wingsuit manufacturer on the planet.

The trust that Squirrel has placed in us since the beginning of our partnership has allowed us to explore the vast universe of human flight to the maximum. The technological advances developed for competitions, demonstrated by the regular victories of the brand, are a guarantee of performance and safety that we appreciate at each of our flights.

Squirrel's respect for its athletes and customers (high quality after-sales service) is also an essential element in the esteem in which we hold them.

VIGIL AAD

Equipment is constantly evolving and has improved considerably in recent years. We really want our latest opportunity, the trigger, to keep up with this modern movement and adapt to technology.

Our experience has shown that security research needs an open mind and humble questioning, as Vigil has demonstrated.

As we create highly technical jumps, we are convinced that this AAD device is the most advanced guardian angel available today, and that it allows us to focus even more on our flights.

TONFLY

Our team is happy to fly with helmets expertly manufactured by the world leader in skydiving head protection.

The TFX is the most advanced full face helmet, combining comfort, safety, and double opening visor. And beyond the safety provided by these features, it definitely looks awesome!

Eventually, the open face X series allows us to feel the airflow on our face in flight, and we love it too.

More than helmets, the amazing Tonfly team provides us with all the high quality equipment we need, and we really feel supported in the best way possible.

UPT

There is no need to introduce this pillar of the skydiving industry.

Needless to say, it was not luck that brought UPT to the forefront of harness manufacturers.

Indeed, years of intelligent R&D and the genius of Bill Booth have created the best and safest equipment any skydiver can dream of.

We are proud and happy to be ambassadors of such a brand!

JULBO

Vision is the sense we use most in flight. So we want the best for our eyes. Julbo has succeeded in offering us polarized (anti-reflective, high contrast, etc.) and photochromic (opacity adaptive to ambient light) lenses, all on perfectly covering frames that protect our eyes from the wind during flight. Simply perfect, and in all conditions!

X SKY

The French manufacturer of the remarkable Touch Tandem System opened the doors of its workshop in the mountains of Haute-Savoie.

Ed Luciano offers us the pleasure of flying with his new equipment during our tandem jumps, and this mutual trust propels our projects forward!

Thanks to its modern vision, X-Sky has joined us in the adventure of the Tandem Wingsuit, and we are delighted.

Biography

«Le Blond» is an aeronautical expert and professional jumper, known for his wingsuit BASE precision proximity flying, of which he was one of the first. Ever since, after many world premiere and winning Wingsuit World Championship, he continues the adventure, sharing his passion with enthusiasm.

A lover of wide open spaces and aerial sports, he also skis and speed rides at a high level, and sometimes ventures close to the oceans for kite surfing or diving sessions.

He has specialised in the realisation of projects around wingsuit flying, coaching or demonstration flights and performance.

Vincent grew up in a small mountain village in the Pyrenees. He has always dreamed of flying, and obtained his pilot's license at the age of 15.

After his engineering studies at ENAC (Ecole Nationale de l'Aviation Civile), he started skydiving in 2005. Always with his eyes on the sky, including in his job as Air Traffic Controller, his passion for the mountains naturally led him to BASE jumping in 2008.

But in 2009, a serious road accident put him in hospital for a year. He was told that he would never be able to run again and that he would probably have difficulty walking.

After a relentless rehabilitation, his dreams are intact, he resumes skydiving, skiing, speedriding, as well as BASE jumping the following year, and does his recovery on crutches!

In 2011, (and without crutches!) the video entitled "BASE Jump Fall Session" is very successful because it is the first time that such long flights are made close to the ground.

In 2012, with 3 friends, they formed the "Vercors Base Team", and opened some of the longest high mountain jumps in the world, requiring the mastery of mountaineering techniques. Vincent then signed partnerships with wingsuit, parachute and sportswear brands, and now participates in the development of the equipment and its advertising.

Since then, he has continued to explore the fields of competitive flying and stunt creation.

Biography

Marine grew up in Reunion Island.

Born into a family that loves the sea, she spent part of her childhood sailing from island to island in the Indian Ocean, swimming with whales and diving with sharks.

At the age of 12, she discovered skydiving during a tandem with a friend, and it was love at first sight..... But she was too young, and had to wait a few years before starting!

At the age of 17, she was finally able to parachute, while continuing her studies in metropolitan France, where she trained in physiotherapy.

She travels as much as possible with her simple backpack, and even goes to South Africa to learn the profession of Safari guide. It was during a professional stage in London that she discovered the wind tunnel, and intensified her practice of freefall.

In the Alps, she discovered skiing, speed-riding and paragliding.

She then met Vincent at a skydiving centre, who introduced her to Kite-surfing, BASE jumping and Wingsuiting.

They live on love and adventure together...

During these years, she explored hypnosis by chance, and it was a revelation. She fully embarked on the training of hypnotherapist and opened her own practice of consultation and mental coaching. Her website: www.marinedescols.com

At the same time, the wingsuit courses with Vincent are multiplying.

Nourished by their experiences in fields as diverse as health, aeronautics, psychological management in hypnosis and competition, they are increasingly interested in the human aspect of the aerial adventure.

It becomes clear that it is possible to transmit more than just technology through human flight: this is the birth of Skyvibration.
