Victor De Le Rue

Victor de Le Rue has established himself as a freeride legend, making his mark on the history of the sport with exceptional performances and a daring style all his own. Having cut his teeth in snowboardcross, he quickly turned to freeride, a discipline that allowed him to fully express his creativity and his love of wide open spaces. His path led him straight to the Freeride World Tour (FWT), the most prestigious freeride circuit in the world. Rising through the ranks at breakneck speed, he quickly demonstrated his talent and technical mastery. His audacity and ability to ride the steepest slopes have earned him three FWT world champion titles in 2019, 2021 and 2024. In doing so, he joined his brother Xavier in the exclusive circle of three-time freeride world champions. As well as his sporting achievements, Victor de Le Rue is a true ambassador for freeride. He shares his passion through films and reports, highlighting the beauty of the landscapes and the physical and mental commitment that this sport requires. His film ‘Circle of Madness’, co-directed with his friend Markus Eder in Alaska, is a perfect example of this approach. This feature-length film shows the intensity of freeriding, but also the strength of human bonds and the sharing of a common passion. Victor de Le Rue embodies a new generation of talented, committed riders who are pushing the boundaries of freeriding while remaining true to their values and their love of the mountains.
