This French team of stuntmen who call themselves the Skyliners share the same passion and same philosophy of life. Since few months, these crazy acrobats have started a particularly thrilling adventure walking on a tight between two balloons cable above the clouds.
This adventure has been immortalized in a video. It shows the preparation for departure and some excited tightrope walkers. And they’re off! The two balloons are only 16 meters from each other (cable length) while the balloons are flying several hundred meters above the ground. All without a safety net! But with parachute, fortunately ;). Unfortunately, in this first attempt, the Skyliners have failed to cross the 16 meter cable, but they have not said that this is last time and a second trial was scheduled!
