First descent of Mont Blanc

On the 4th of May 2006, Francois Bon, GIN Team Rider used his GIN Nano to make the first descent from the summit of Mont Blanc (4808m), the highest point of Europe, by the north face to Chamonix by speedflying.

With his small GIN Nano, Francois took just over 8 minutes to glide, ride and ski the 3800 meters height of the mountain to the grass, passing by the summit face, the Dome du Gouter north face, and the Taconnaz glacier. The longest run ever done, the biggest height ever run.
