Dude gets injured, comes back, drops the best edit of 08/09, and then promptly gets injured again. He can't buy a break. Hopefully CK2 if it happens lives up to the standards of the first instalment because that shit was ridiculous.

It seems like you can't ski at that level without getting messed up on a regular basis.

to be fair, Big Bertha was his first serious injury and he took a very long time to recover from that

candide is one of the few skiers that are diverse in what they ski and innovative in so many different perspectives.

Candide has killed it for so long.  Was that the one with the griptape in front of the toe piece?

Griptape on skis... so necessary.

Re: best skier in the world, well I would be inclined to think Tanner is the best skier in the world. However, Tanner has a better frame of reference for that than I do, so I will have to take his word, and he says Sage is the best skier in the world. Conclusion: Sage is the best skier in the world. QED?

I think he is an amazing skier no doubt. But, he is not the best. I really think there are like 10 guys that all kill it just as hard as the other. Its just given conditions, timing, terrain, whatever, one of them on that given day will ski best but on any other day, another could tear it up just as hard.

I feel like its pretty much impossible to name one person as the best skier in the world, iv got a bit of a list

in no particular order

sage
tanner
candide
abma
seth (in his prime)

Sure he's not ready for the Uof W freestyle team, but he's pretty good.

think if tanner and candide made a movie together. add some sage in there and it would probably be the best backcountry jibbing, big jump slaying movie of the year

although arguing about who is the best will never stop, it should, because Candide truly is the best at all aspects of skiing.

I guess you didnt read the part when i said he is equal to the best skiers in the world. Not to confuse you that means I think he is best just in this race there are a few number ones. And, if he asked i might let him ski with the UW freestyle group, but just as long as he is a student...

This couldn't be any truer.  He really is the best.  It's crazy watching him ski because he can literally ski anything.

Watching him at his invite a couple years ago he was making all the other pros look pretty JV in comparison.  The guy kills it.

you dont realy know what you are talking about.

candide is a beast. no one has as much dedication and skill than him.
he is a perfectionnist. he will  try things again and again until it s perfect. that s why he is the best.

If you click on the audio controls on his website it takes you to this page with the song so i think it might be an original track. Cant seem to find a DL anywhere.
