I skateboard.
Something with like 4 wheels...
And we try to go down the mountains with it.
Today we've organized a session in a wind tunnel,
at Hepia, from the Geneva School of Engineering.
I tried to tuck as low as I could, because I thought
it would be more efficient, even if it's not the most natural position.
But it wasn't the position which worked best in the end.
Finally, the postion that I had developed over time and was the most natural for me,
was the most efficient one.
Maybe it's because it's the most comfortable for me.
We did all the testing at 120 km/h.
And then, we tried to see up to how much I would be able to hold on my skateboard.
I'm not sure exactly at which speed, but when it got to 200 km/h,
The helmet started to resonate, I felt like a vibration, globally in my whole body
which was crazy. I felt like I had to stay in my position to lean against the air,
and compensate the force of the wind on my body.
In the end, the position is nothing like the starting position.
The starting position is rather static and relaxed,
in a really dynamic position.
When you imagine it, you think it will be easy to be in a wind tunnel
But in reality, the feeling of speed is crazy. It's really impressive.
It is a really cool experience, to search for the maximum speed,
also to test the different helmets, "mushroom" shaped or regular shaped.
So to conclude, I think all of us who practice aerodynamic sports
have the "dream" to test themselves in this conditions to see if they are aerodynamic or not.
so it's more for the enjoyable and fun side to get up there in front of a machine
and then try to push ourselves to the maximum.
Why did I fall? Well, because they kept raising the wind force.
-Are you ok?
Honestly it feels like my helmet became epileptic.
It started to microvibrate
I didn't know I would fly that far.
It's not that bad, eh.
A little worse, but...
-So it's the worst, then.
it's... it's the worst, yes.
-It's the worst.
