he's a jedi. matter of fact, it contradicts article 5.7 of the constitution of freeskiing for one with such godly status to be injured.

honestly i just think he knows what he is doing, which is really the more amazing part. he does stuff that no one else on skis does and yet he is probably one of the most calculated skiers out their, he doesnt just go shit, thats how you xcan get hurt easily.

he is a fuckin cat. no matter what fucked up position he is in in the air. whether he goes to big catches an edge on the take off, he just always lands on his feet

yea i get so pumed to see him kill it... i tell all my non-skier friends about how there at least a couple of skiers going astronomicall high out of the pipe, and how one of them is the sickest skier ever, i get real pumped ot see 810 to rial in a comp....and then meh he tweaks soemthign or decks out. candide should just qualify, no practice for him.

He has hurt his knees a few times, but he still could show up to the Orage Master and Candide Invitational and make a gnarly segment in those 4 days

he hurt himself before the x-games pipe last year. he woulda killed the competition too. i watched some of his practice runs from the deck. he easily goes 4-5 bigger than any other skier. like 23-25 feet out on the first hit. he's a god

yeah he has blown out his knee twice, cracked his skull open, and injured his hip at super park 2 years ago....not invincible, but still a god in my book.
