Thierry Devaux was born on November 16, 1959 in Bourg-en-Bresse. He developed acrobatic bungee jumping. His landing on the Statue of Liberty was the feat that gave him a mainstream awarenesse and designed several techniques to transform bungee jumps into sport field. ==Personal== Main Spirit Jumping into space does not really interest Thierry Devaux beyond his first jumps in 1989. He uses elastic cord to perform an aesthetical move akin.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Photos spirit & training )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Photos spirit & training )〕 He performs 8 to 12 acrobatic jumps during two-hour training with the help of his Jumar or with a winch to lift him up.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Thierry Devaux training )〕 Bungee jumping is an elite sport and requires intensive training. Bungee jumping is such a high sensation sport that one cannot cheat on oneself or on the others. He admits that he is always afraid. He stated that "Frightening oneself" is stupid. The goal is to find the perfect balance between his enjoyment of weightlessness with the reverse acceleration effects, and his own, personal apprehensions. He stopped counting his jumps after the thousandth one, after sixteen years of training. Example of figures Backward somersault: three somersaults during the first fall and eleven for all the bounces. Other figures: forward pike, reverse kick, forward spiral, one foot backward, etc.… Thierry is tied around the pelvis, in the area nearest to his center of gravity because figures performed with ankle attachments are not very interesting. The elastic rope is only 8 to 10 meters long in order to ensure a good ratio between catapult effect and low weight. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Thierry Devaux」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
