Greg Crozier and Karine Joly in demo in the biggest Indoor Freefall simulator in the world.

In the heart of CLYMB, the new gigantic complex in Abu Dhabi, the Freefly 2018 World Parachuting Champions Grégory Crozier and Karine Joly have made the big jump!
Breathtaking sensations and images in this giant Abu Dhabi-style simulator.

Giganticism to match our athletes' abilities

With its 16 fans, 32 metres high and 9.75 metres in diameter, the new wind tunnel made in Abu Dhabi is a dream come true for fans of indoor freefall.

For the moment, it is the pros, our talented duo of Freefly World Champions Karine Joly and Greg Crozier who have embarked on this unique experience in the world. A godsend for the outdoor freefall world champions who dream of seeing their discipline in competition at the 2024 Olympic Games.

Just before the confinement, I had the chance to go to Abu Dhabi with my partner Karine Joly for
to try the latest technology in freefall simulator. This is way beyond
all the other projects that already exist around the world since it's the DOUBLE!

says Greg Crozier enthusiastically.

Greg Crozier and Karine Joly were able to adapt their figures to perfection and show once again to the public of the whole world their unique complicity in this discipline which mixes sporting performance and artistic requirement.

Ewan Cowie's magical realization, all dreamlike and light-hearted.

"Birds flying high you know how I feel..." Thus begins the soundtrack of the video of this show filmed with professionalism and elegance by Ewan Cowie, the faithful comparator of our couple of world champions of freefall.

Accustomed to major events and recently present to film their incredible experience of freefall flight over the pyramids of Giza, he was able to make this moment of Indoor flight in Abu Dhabi a pure moment of poetry where the subtlety of the editing gracefully underlines the magnificent performance of our athletes.


Even if we do not immediately imagine wind tunnels of such a scale to become the norm in the world of indoor skydiving, this new place of experimentation and training opens perspectives.
It gives above all to our freefly skydiving world champions a great opportunity to promote their discipline which is still too little known by the general public.
