Simon's run was sooooo sweet. He went bigger than Candide (not really) but it was still huge, then he did a flair and decked it soooo hard. DC didnt compete for some reason, injury of some kind probably, but him Max Kusaj and another guy were sitting behind me.
cr's qualifying run was incredible. never have i seen anyone fly that high out of the pipe - skier or snowboarder! the entire bleacher sections stood in awe and applauded. too bad he couldn't lay it down in the finals. would have been hard to beat candide anyway. his was the most awesome run ever. tanner was only mediocre! but the judges always like him and score him high no matter.
yea t halls been working on his pipe skills. and I'm not surprised thovex won it, I think that this placement is a bit more just then slopestlye..

That's insane. I can't believe anything bigger than DC's hit at the WSI.

yeah candide's run really was the biggest shit ever there, but i haven't ever liked candide's skiing, so i didn't like the run itself, but sick big it was.
tanner threw some smooth stuff and landed his alleyoop flat5 to flat and wasn't able to get any speed to his last hit..
expn's raw coverage was really shitty thing.
Oh my fucking god Candide's run was the most awsome thing I have ever seen! he was going so huge! I was there-saw it in real life!
the only thing I have a complaint about the pipe is I think Jon Olsson and Hall should have been swiched around in the scoring

yea, i thought candide just had older 1080s with no base graphics, but on expn they have the little salomon logo on the tips and tails....they kinda look cool...

i don't know if those skis were different construction or whatever, but those are next years graphics, the top is almost the same, new 1080 graphic on the bottom
I was at the finals and took a couple of pics. Not as good as the ones on ESPN's website, but whatever. I posted them in the halfpipe picture section if anyone's interested.
IF YOU WERE IN THE BLEACHERS...
I was the guy (with the green hat and no shirt) that got the whole crowd doing the wave after Candide's run. :) I hope I get on TV tonight (9pm - 11pm EST on ESPN2).
Okay. From practice to the end of the awards, I was in awe the whole time. I got to the pipe when they started practicing and saw Pep Fujas case it hard on the skier's left wall. :( He looked hurt... so Simon Dumont got to ski. I was really looking forward to Pep ski the pipe. Bummer.
Anyway, DC's air at the WS1 was huge, but I really think that CR's 9 was even bigger... but I was standing right at the edge of the pipe for that air.
I got to talk with Kristi and Sarah after the comp. They are sooo chill! And holy crap, Kristi's little sister is cool too!
That day was a dream come true for me because I got photos of me and my friends with Tanner, Kristi, Sarah, and Candide! It was a great day and I just wanted to share it with you guys. Peace!
for some reason, Ralplayer cant load the videos anymore, maybe because EXPN moved the link (?). It did work before, but now it wont...

wow...... thats really suprising about cr, cause i dont think i have ever seen him pull anything amazing out in the pipe in movies ive seen
'pro - peagna? What the fuck is that?' - my friend looking at my Propaganda DVD (he's not to bright)
'nah im still going to ski, im just going to board when im... bored...' darryl hunt
i just went and watched the winning run on expn... oh my dear goodness hugest air i have ever witnessed... in the photo section they have a pic of cr....like 7000 feet out... crazy.
i was reading a chat on expns site with cr and he said he was riding the best pipe skis ever and salomon was coming out with prototypes every month for them to test.

reedy got bumped out of the finals, but i thought his run was totally ballsy cuz he took the first hit to fakie then did a nice big clean switch 5, nice cork 7 at the bottom, all of his runs looked really smooth but candide was ridiculous, as was cr's qualifying run he came out of his cork 9 like 5 feet out and he floated it to begin with.
Bob: i want Jon's autograph
me: i will see what i can do
Bob: u grab the swedish bastard by the ears and tell him bob dake wants his autograph and hand him my card
wow, that's all i have to say. candide went so frickin huge on his first hit with that flair. i'm amazed.
and cr went huge too, they said his second hit was 19ft. out of the pipe, crazy, just crazy.

wow. that shit was amazing. i got to watch the whole thing from the bleachers and it was the tightest thing i've ever seen. candide was ridiculous. cr's runs in the finals weren't even half as good as his qualifying run, it was insane.
