The French ski instructor started competing in ice cross downhill at the Red Bull Crashed Ice event in Lausanne in 2013, and he's an adrenaline junkie who has always been active and is constantly looking to try something new. The sports enthusiast has been skiing, playing hockey, BASE jumping, speed riding, paragliding, golfing, and practicing many other sports like parachuting and slacklining. Pacôme's debut in ice cross downhill gave him the chills and thrills for the sport and he finished 23rd overall in the 2013 season, despite competing in just two races. He followed that up with a 7th place finish overall in 2014, following his first podium finish in Helsinki.
