Modest, generous and talented, Vincent Reffet was inseparable from his skydiving partner Frédéric Fugen. Together they led the way in the world of skydiving for over a decade and delivered extraordinary flying feats.

Vince made his first solo jump when he was still a teenager, in 2000. In 2002, he joined the French national Freefly team, with Fred following suit in 2004. Both skydivers later headed to Empuriabrava in Spain to train at the Skydive Empuria parachute club, the European home of modern parachuting. There, Vince and Fred began their partnership.
