Candide's run was so sick, to stomp tricks like that, going that big after a broken back is insane. Definitely pushing the sport to a new level. I hope more and more contests like this start to happen. They can be so creative w/ different hits, basic tricks, and style.

Nice job to redbull, and whoever else made such a sick event possible.

Candide has the technique. But above all, he has the passion, an incredible mental strength, the will to be the best and a deep respect for our sport & the mountain. I guess that makes him the best of the best.

Huge props to Candide. That was an incredible run. Insane shit thrown into a line. Stoked that he will be doing the Freeride tour. After his performance in Candide Kamera and the Redbull Linecatcher, I have no doubts that he will excel.

Anyone got a lead on footage?

Please replace Tanner's message w/ some footage!.

Let's not forget the most amazing story here - two legendary skiers have completed their comebacks. CR nearly died just a few years ago and learned to basically live again, not just ski. And I feel Candide has reasserted himself as the best skier on the planet.

At this point CR Johnson has literally achieved two lifetimes worth of becoming one of the best skiers in the world.

One thing everyone can learn at this point is that we are most likely not achieving our maximum potential. There's a lot of inspiration we can all take away from this.

Ok, way less impressed now that I see they built takeoffs on all those cliffs. Still decent, but not nearly as legit.
