Fun loving Frenchman Romain Paulhan, or ‘Paulhette’ as he is more affectionately known, hails from the Massif Central, situated to the south of Les Gets. Boasting some the regions best-kept secrets, the trails there are the perfect loam-filled training ground for any would be gravity racer.

From a youth spent racing BMX, Paulhette would soon find himself in the mountains and between the tape, starting a journey that would take him to the top of French downhill racing, winning the coveted national title in 2010. Paulhette competes in a mix of enduro and downhill events, trail building, and coaching the next generation of rippers.
