By Robin Deering, Updated

It seems that the Chamonix ban on wingsuit jumps on the Brevent and the Aiguille du Midi hasn't stopped the growth of the extreme sport in the Chamonix valley as already two wingsuit videos have been released of jumps off the Petit Drus. The first video (shown here) is of Russion wingsuiter Valery Rozov, know for his jump off the Grand Pilier d’Angle at 4243m, who made the jump from the Dru over a year ago.
Another video shows Géraldine Fasnacht and Julien Mayer jumping from the same spot on the Dru - Géraldine is a World Freeride snowboard champ and professional base jumper.
