haha, the comments off the translated page:

sympathetic... except that Olsson went at least also high in happy dayz whereas it was there is a good small moment, that the quarter is smaller, that the reception is foireuse and that TF1 is not there!
mowgli26 , March 21, 2006 - 00:12
of the conceited person, very conceited even... Cheer with Ingenuous, because they is really monstrous...
PS: would it have decided to remake it??? that would be well cool...
peaks , March 20, 2006 - 23:55
respect!!! you noticed as one is? one does not find that enormous derriere the screen but I imagine only the fact of being posed dimensioned quarter.... veiled ingenuous hat!
flyandcrash , March 20, 2006 - 23:46
Indeed, of the very large quarter and a fly which could go higher! It is déja quite beautiful and Ca announces that good for Invitationals!!! I am in a hurry to be there! Question: Ingenuous request to validate all its stereotypes!?!?!?
freeskieur74 , March 20, 2006 - 23:42
When you make arrets on images they is nevertheless monstrous.

umm, candide's the man, but, that didn't look especially huge to me?

jon olsson's big ass flare with the swedish flag was about as big, and I think hatveit/wester's hip hits were bigger.

Wester
jacob wester is unreal. he had never hit a big hip like this and pretty early in the day did the sickest air to fakie ever - over 30 feet out - wich was the opening shot of PBP's movie WAR

im not done yet

then jacob did some cork alley oop strait airs, wich he had never tried before, and they were outragues, then he just went for some height.
the pole in this shot(i couldnt find it) is 32 feet tall and jacob is deffinetly way above it. it's the biggest air ever landed, for sure. hes not 100% in control, but coming in the hot i dont know how anyone could be. it was amazing to see. Kurt Hein, one of the PBP filmers measured the air at over 40 feet
i think jacob scared himself, because i asked him to goagain and he said "i think im going to try something else"
its pretty hard to imagine that jacob is only 17. Jon ollson thinks hes top 5 in the world already. i would expect some pretty big things from this kid. i think he represents a new wave ofscandinavian kids that will come to dominate skiing in the next couple of years, much like what has happened in snowboarding

Jacob and Adreas definitely went huge, but going huge on a hip is way different than a quarter pipe. Candide's air's are insane.

"In short, undoubtedly less impressive than than one could hope but it is obvious that to wrinkle it of Clusaz, which did not seem either fully satisfied, had much larger under the foot, and it could well that this module is again exploited this week, to be gone besides until the end of the things."
