there's a difference between kissing someones ass and agreeing with someone because they have a good point.

Candide probably does pole plants more often than not when hitting anything, and i love it.

alright, for all you haters out there:

1- who cares if he freaking pole plants when he takes off? when did pole plant spins suddenly become "illegal" in the world of skiing?

2- those measurements are not wrong. the full size of the table is 60 m or 190ish feet. Candide goes about 150. Look at the person standing on the rail and then look straight up at how big the guy in the sequence is.

3- all you who say candide needs more variety....lets see you do a 150 foot cork three, and THEN you have the right to bitch about it....because i dont see any of you who are hatin on him doing it

WHy do I have to be able to do something to say somethign else is bad. JESUS christ. You people are retareded with your, "once you can do it then bash it". Its not liek Im saying Im better than him, me being able to do something has NOTHING to do with saying his is bad, it just has no relevance or significance or anything, fuck.

Let's say I were to say that my cork 3s werent the best in the wolrd, NOW, can I say his aren't either? Like, it has no relevance to anything! WHy does it matter what I can do?! I can still compare a guy like candide to a guy like tanner (if tanenr did that cork 3, oh my I woudl shit my panties, cause it would have some style). Also, Candide does insane pencilishness before getting into his grab ALWAYS, and the pole plant looks retarded. HIs tail isnt the best in the industry. Watch Tanner Rainville, his is way sicker. Not to mention other peoples.

yeti there is a huge difference between the length of the flat and where people is landing...at the jon comp all top 4 riders were landing almost in the flatbottom, thats a flight of nearly 40 meters, the table candide is hitting might be 60 meters to the bottom of the landing, he is def. not going more than 40 in that sequence.

(40 m = 140 ft)

obviously its personal opinion. but not that much. In skiing I think we have standardized things that make up good style... Not being a pencil at any point, being smooth, beign relaxed, flowing, stomping clean, keeping arms in control. Candides arms are always flailing, his legs are flailing, he has no variety, his pole plant makes him go pencilled at the beginning of every trick etc.

wait, no, his arms are held all the way through the trick, he flails sometimes when going uber huge, and not penciled at anypoint? so he knows how to ski to the jump, and he looks penciled because he is gonna go for a tail grab, not a safety. style is personal opinion, almost always...

i know, i know. just that he isn't always what you say he is, and that you are maybe biased to think that tanner r. doesn't pencil because you have decided that candide does, i dunno... its not all gorilla, i love candides style, its the european style.

When Candide spins on or off rails, he crosses his skis. Thats all I have to say.

Well then I guess movie critics better stop critiquing, because they havn't made a better movie than the people they are critiquing have they?

Oh wait, just because you havn't done somethng yourself doesn't mean you can't judge what someone else did.

It just shows a lack or basis and respect really because you can't fathom how difficult that really is at your skill level.

Well first of all, I can certainly "fathom" how much skill that would take. Second of all, I never said I don' respect candide, all I said was it wasn't stylish. JEEZE!

How bout this one. I like my friends rail style better than candide's. Lets just say its better. Could candide say his rail style is worse than tanners? NO! cause candide has not matched my friends rail style! thats fuckign stupid!

haha, I can imagine what it would be like to do a cork 3 over a 130 foot jump yes. I do cork 3s easier than reg 3s, and Ive done them going about 60 feet. I can imagine 2.5 times bigger. Eitehr way, that wasnt the main point, the second part was the main point.

well its big and it looked good till he was at 3, wich was like untill the 2/3 of the jump, he finishedhis spin way too earkly and started dropping and had to flail to spot his rotation if he would have done a 540 it would have been perfect but as a cork 3 it's so farfrom perfection

dude, but mikke is right, you are allowed to have an opinion about something you can't necessarily do, especially if you have experience in the activity you are commenting, but not necessarily so. he is allowed to say he doesn't like candides style, and his reasons, just so long as its not enunciated as fact and an unchanging truth. lay off guys.

Teddy Knape could do it so, so much better.

But then, that's true of anything anyone does.

P.S. Some guy at TGR used candide's ski length (180) and measured the jump relative to it, calculated it to be about 110 feet. Just thought I'd pass that along. It looks bigger, though.

well, he doesn't land right at the top of the landing, or do you mean 110 to the bottom of the landing?

110 to where he lands. Quote:

From the end of the jump to his landing spot is 18 times the length of his ski. I measured in a straight horizontal line back from the landing to a line equal to the end of the jump.

Candide's ski length x 18 = this jump

If they're 177's: 3,186 centimeters = 104.5 feet

If they're 180's: 3240 centimeters = 106.3 feet
