Yeah, but it was revolutionary back then.  CR and Candide gave halfpipe skiing credibilty.  They were the best two skiers at the pipe contest that year.  CR crashed on his last run, and did not get a medal because of that, but he and Candide were by far the standout skiers of the event.

CR's segment in Focus came out fall of the next year.  It was insane.  CR was maybe the best all-around skier in the world back then.  If he had never been hurt, he still would be today.
