Video: Montpellier’s 71-year-old president crowd surfing at a party

The life and soul of the party

Ben Kiely

If you’ve ever wanted to see a septuagenarian crowd surf, then this is the video for you.

RMC Sport journalist Julien Landry uploaded an unusual video to Twitter on Sunday night, taken at the 40th anniversary party of Montpellier.

Club president, Louis Nicollin seemed to really get into the swing of things at the shindig. One of the stranger sights on the night was the 71-year-old man crowd surfing on a line of other party-goers who were sitting down on the dancefloor.

The elderly man’s crowd surfing adventure came to an extremely slow halt as he slid to the ground at a snail’s pace. However, after taking a few seconds to recuperate, Nicollin was eventually helped back to his feet.
