When a group of world class cliff divers decide to go on a search for extraordinary diving spots, you know they’ll end up in some rad locations. On this trip, the crew found themselves in Indonesia and it didn’t disappoint.
Rocco Simpson, Ady Jimenez, Blake Aldridge, Kris Kolanus, Alex de Rose, David Colturi and Andy Jones spent 48 hours of straight travel to arrive at the tiny town of West Papua. It was an undiscovered area for the divers, where they’d spend the following days diving from, truly, some of the most breathtaking locations in the world.
It’s no secret that we love speedriding — the freeflight sport combining high-performance skiing with high-performance wings gives athletes access to some of the most incredible terrain on the planet. Steep powder lines everywhere are suddenly open for business, even if they end in a huge cliff band.
But that’s not the only thing they can do. In the hands of skilled pilots Valentin Delluc and Martin Schricke, the whole mountain is a playground: from swooping passes through gaping gorges, a quick pass-through session on some park features and even a high-speed sightseeing run through the local mountain town – there is no terrain unrideable for these fellas.
