Adventure Racing
Damien Lacaze came to flying after many adventures as an alpinist and climber. Over the past decade he’s combined both passions. Highlights include crossing the Atlas mountains in Morocco and a 1,500km hike and fly adventure around Pakistan during which he flew to 7,960m, at the time the second highest flight. He’s also a sailor and in 2021 spent a year aboard a 14m yacht with his family and young children, crossing the Atlantic to the Caribbean.
His first Red Bull X-Alps experience came in 2017 and 2019 as a supporter to Benoît Outters. He made an impressive debut in 2021, placing 11th, finishing 99km from goal.
