Kiteboarding, ki, Paragliting, Big-Wall Climbing, Easy-Reiter, Segeln/ Kanu und Tauchen | Obwohl Gion neben seinen Dreharbeiten auch als Profi-Wassersportler und -Kiter im Flysurfer-Team in der Öffentlichkeit erscheint, wurde er erst durch seine Mitarbeit beim ARD-Wissens-Magazin Kopfball einem breiteren Publikum bekannt. In der im April 2006 umstrukturierten Sendung fungiert Gion als Action-Experte, der sowohl hinter als auch vor der Kamera für die Stunt-Sequenzen des Formats verantwortlich ist. In dieser Funktion konnte Gion drei offizielle Weltrekorde erzielen: Er hat als erster Mensch per Zugdrachen einen Kontinent durchquert, hinter einem 200 Meter langen Ozeanriesen mehrere Minuten Wasserski gefahren und während seiner Australiendurchquerung die bisher weiteste Strecke überhaupt auf einem Kiteboard bewältigt. |
