“Today, I achieved an incredible feat: I hold the record for views on a Real in France for 2024! » Arnaud Zoldos is proud. And he has what it takes. The Gersois was a hit on Instagram. And it was rather unexpected…
He absolutely did not expect to reach the staggering figure of 243 million views, as he explained to Occitanie News a few months ago, when his video went viral.
A motorcycle jumping video…
What did he do? A motorcycle jumping video… “One less thing to do in my life. PS: I like the sensations.” These few words accompanied the video where we saw the pilot, then aged 20, jumping over a river in the Gers.
On a motorcycle since the age of 3, the Gers rider, originally from Orbessan and licensed by the Moto-club de l'Armagnac (Auterive), has been riding moguls in France and around the world for years with a nice track record to the key. But posting unusual videos on Instagram wasn't really his thing so far. “I rather put summaries of competitions,” he explained to Occitanie News.
Next to his house
He had wanted to jump over a river near his home for three years. He was filmed performing this feat in August 2023. Quickly done well done. It's short and unedited. And the Gersois quickly forgot it…
Except that at the end of January 2024, while he was killing time while waiting for a flight at the airport, Arnaud came across this little bomb while sorting documents in his smartphone. And decided to put it on Instagram. “I knew it would work well. I imagined maybe even a million views. But not more than 200 million! », he wondered in February 2024.
The pilot will therefore have marked the year in other ways than sportingly on social networks. But when it comes to competition, he is no slouch. He also became French cross-country champion in 2024. And intends to remain so in 2025.
