Big up to my friend Predrag, one of the best photgrapher of the world!
The French extreme motorcyclist, Julien Dupont, while travelling around the world and shooting the third sequel of the movie “Ride the World” also visited Belgrade. During his four days in the Serbian capital, Julien explored every nook and cranny of the city, both in the city centre and its suburbs. The main goal of the visit was taking photos and shooting video material which gave me a special part of this project. We had chosen in advance a few locations that we found especially attractive for taking unique photos. That was the second time for me to work with Julien, so I was aware of what I could expect from him and his unbelievable stunts. We had an excellent communication and the shooting seemed like carrying out the project that had been perfectly prepared.
At the age of thirty Julien Dupont is still in the process of overcoming one of the greatest challenges – how to settle down? It could be said that we are very alike and that we are familiar with each other’s work. We have been keeping in touch since our first shooting in Sarajevo two years ago.
This intrepid young man from Lyon (France) has been occupied with the extreme motorcycling, a discipline known in the world as TrialX, and is regarded as one of its founders. TrialX requires riders to pass “the obstacles” such as stairs, buildings, balustrades, jump from one building onto another and perform many other remarkable stunts.
We found such obstacles in many different parts of Belgrade. Julien didn’t want to waste a minute spent here. The photos we were shooting inspired both of us to continue working. Besides my knowing the sport inside out and Julien’s extraordinary skills, one of the most important things was the maximum limit we could have reached to get the unique and perfect photographs.
The inspiration for such ventures and his attempts to transcend human limitations in motorbike riding Julien finds in unusual buildings and monuments. He is constantly proving that there isn’t anything impossible by doing stunts all over Belgrade, but also in many other locations, like Acropolis in Greece, Count Dracula’s Castle in Romania and the building of the Centre of New Industries and Technologies in Paris.

As you all know, the world has heard hundreds of legends about Count Dracula and vampires, but they all have something in common – the Bran Castle in Transylvania. Famous trial rider Julien Dupont went to the Bran Castle not only to see if these legends are true, but also to ride his bike in the castle’s yard.

Even though the legends about Dracula have been circulating for around 500 years, this character remains alive not only for tourists, but also for writers who see it perfect for a new book or a new movie scenario.
Julien has heard numerous legends circulating around the Bran Castle, but only one caught the most of his attention. It seems that not far from the castle there is a cross which turns those who touch it into fearless persons. Just what Julien needed in order to pull out the most amazing tricks.
So Julien Dupont searched the respective cross on the hill near the castle, touched it and the legend turned out to be true – Julien became fearless and went crazy around Bran Castle.

But, a mystery remains…will Julien eventually turn into a vampire or not? Find out the answer by watching the video after the jump.

Hello hello,
I just come back from Israel very tired!
After two weeks action (Abu Dhabi an Israel) I went there for the RedBull Air Race and the pass over.
Passover or Pessah is the 8 day observance commemorating the freedom and exodus of the Israelites (Jewish slaves) from Egypt during the reign of the Pharaoh Ramses II.
A time of family gatherings and lavish meals called Seders, the story of Passover is retold through the reading of the Haggadah. With its special foods, songs, and customs, the Seder is the focal point of the Passover celebration!
Nice days with Fabien Didelot and all the RedBull crew!
This trip will stay in my mind and my harddrive disk for a long time:)

Hello hello,
Je reviens juste d’Israel à bout de force.
Après deux semaines d’action (Abu Dhabi puis Israel) pour les RedBull Air Race et le Pass Over.
Le Pass over ou Pessah est la célébration de la fuite des juifs (escalves juifs) d’Egypte pendant le règne d Pharaon Ramsès II. Le temps pour les familles de manger la specialité culinaire et de relire du Haggadah.
Music, spectacles et autres complémente cette fête.
Bon moment avec Fabien (Didelot) et tout le staff RedBull.
Ce trip restera dans ma tête et dans mon disque dur pour un bon moment:)
