Simon Dumont sets the new world record height in quarter pipe at Sunday Riv
2008-04-14 21:15:00 It is now official: skiers go bigger than snowboarders… Well, all joking aside: at least for now and in quater pipe especially. (Genarally the skiers vs. boarders debate is pretty useless and very 90’s, in my opinion) No-one can disagree that Simon did the record with style and difficulty though: a 35 feet high cork 900 tail grab. That’s about ...
Bethel's Simon Dumont Breaks Quarterpipe World Record!
2008-04-12 01:20:00 It took 4 days and countless runs, but this morning Simon Dumont broke the previous world record of 32.5 feet above the lip of the quarterpipe, held by Norwegian snowboarder Terje Haakonsen by launching a jump of 35 feet and throwing down a 900 spin while in the air. After 3 days of bluebird skies with warm temps, many feared that the record was destined not to fall as each attempt Dumont took was well-short of the mark. The quarterpipe, designed by Snow Park Technologies and funded by Red Bull, is the largest ever to be built and its' placement with a long in-run seemed the perfect spot on Sunday River's Aurora Peak. Yet the slow and wet snow, along with a minor injury kept hampering Dumont, a native of Bethel, Maine who grew up skiing Sunday River. Then Dumont decided to climb further up the mountain than he had on his previous attempts. The result was a huge world record jump that measured 35 feet with some on hand saying that it looked more like 36. Regardless, a collective si...

Simon Dumont to attempt world record jump
2008-04-08 04:45:00 Bethel, Maine's own Simon Dumont will attempt to break the world record of air above the lip of a quarter-pipe, which is currently held by Candide Thovex of France. The record, which is 31 feet in the air, is actually about 50 feet above the ground. While Dumont's sponsor, Red Bull is being hush hush about details of when the attempt will be made, the venue is the mountain Dumont grew up skiing - Sunday River, Maine. Crews having been working around the clock constructing the 50-foot structure on the Airglow trail and rumor has it that the actual attempt will take place this week. Red Bull owns the rights to the record attempt and doesn't want unauthorized picture or videos, the reason for the secrecy. In an attempt last year, Dumont got 30 feet above the lip before crashing.

Dia do Aviador - Homenagem a Santos Dumont
2007-10-23 16:37:00 Paris fervilhava. No campo da Aeronáutica, a passagem do século foi marcada por muitas comemorações. Sucediam-se iniciativas. Uma delas foi a oferta de 100 mil francos a quem conseguisse, fosse com dirigÃvel ou com aeroplano, contornar a Torre Eiffel, cumprindo o trajeto que partia do campo de Saint-Cloud, sobrevoava o Rio Sena, o campo de Bagatelle e retornava ao ponto de partida no tempo máximo de meia hora. O prêmio era oferecido por Deutsch de la Meurthe, um empresário ligado à exploração e ao refino do petróleo. Em 1887, ele havia patrocinado o desenvolvimento de um motor de explosão a gasolina destinado a veÃculos.Em 13 de julho de 1901, Santos Dumont concorreu ao prêmio com o dirigÃvel nº 5. Nessa tentativa, o aeróstato subiu mas, após contornar a torre, o motor da aeronave parou e o vento a arrastou, fazendo-a ir de encontro à s árvores do parque de Edmond de Rothschild. Em 8 de agosto, iniciou uma segunda tentativa. Na presença da Comissão CientÃfica ...

Charlevoix: Dumont tranchera sous peu
2007-08-21 12:28:00 Les sceptiques qui croyaient que l’Action démocratique du Québec joue une “game” politique dans Charlevoix ces jours-ci seront confondus. Selon cet article du MédiaMatinQuébec, l’ADQ hésiterait vraiment à présenter un candidat contre Pauline Marois dans Charlevoix et il semble deux écoles de pensée s’affronteraient ces temps-ci au sein du parti,: ceux qui jugeraient inutile de ...
J'invite Mario Dumont à souper
2007-06-14 20:51:00 Ben oui tiens! Pourquoi pas?Mario a accepté l'invitation de Léo Kolber et de la communauté juive. S'en suit l'invitation de Patrick Lagacé qui tente de prouver qu'un citoyen normal sans argent ne peut pas recevoir Mario Dumont à souper mais, coup de théâtre, Mario accepte l'invitation!Le seul hic, c'est que Patrick Lagacé n'est pas un citoyen ordinaire comme vous et moi, il est un journaliste de renom, on le lit, il est connu. Donc forcément, d'accepter son invitation ne constitue pas la preuve qu'un citoyen "normal" et sans grande implication monétaire ou sociale peut recevoir Mario à souper.Alors Mario, moi et ma blonde t'invitons cordialement à souper, nous ne possédons pas de grande entreprise, nous ne sommes pas connus, mais nous sommes tout de même des supporters, on a appuyé un des candidats défaits de l'ADQ à Laval, et on va surement l'appuyer à nouveau la prochaine fois, donc on te lancera pas de pierres promis!
Antimodernité de Bruno Dumont, par Ludovic Maubreuil (Infréquentables, 3)
2007-03-01 22:50:00 Jean-Louis Kuffer, sur son excellent blog intitulé Les carnets de JLK, a écrit de longues lignes évoquant sa lecture du numéro spécial de La presse Littéraire consacré aux écrivains infréquentables, où il s'interroge, entre autres motifs de suspicion, d'agacement ou, in fine (peut-être même de guerre lasse), pour admettre une certaine convergence de vues, sur la présence, dans ce discordant bal des maudits que j'ai eu le grand plaisir de diriger, de Léautaud. Ygor Yanka, l'un des rédacteurs de cet hors série, a, fort logiquement, répondu à Jean-Louis par ce beau texte. Toujours sur ce même sujet, j'indique à mes lecteurs que Paul-Marie Coûteaux (accompagné de Gilles Brochard et de Sabine de Grainville) m'a invité sur Radio Courtoisie mercredi 28 février à participer à sa belle émission, Libre journal de la Nuit, qui a évoqué Philippe Muray et réuni, physiquement ou bien grâce à l'excellence technique de Claudio, Anne Muray, l'intarissable Él...
