Its winter, the birds have all flown south, all but one. One little bird that waited too long. As it flew to catch it's buddies it got icicles on its wings and fell to the ground. The bird then saw a nice looking branch at the top of a nearby tree and it said to a nearby cow, 'I want to reach that top branch but I don’t have then energy to fly up, can you help?' The cow said, 'Here, eat some of my poop it'll fuel you to climb up the tree.' The little bird said, 'Thanks!' and had some of the cow poop. The bird flew up to the first branch of the tree and rested, then the next day flew to the next branch, until finally the bird reached the top branch. Then the farmer came out with a shotgun...
The moral of the story is, bullshit may get you to the top, but it wont keep you there.
Candide - that run was the one media event that even got my snowboarder (or even non-athletic) friends to step back and really respect the stuff I was always talking about. Dumont is awesome but a kid like him was bound to pop up.
Stylewise - Dumont has the more compact, boarder inf. style (his hands are more stable and level); Candide is all skier (hence the moguler mentality of still crossing up all the time because he prob. still thinks it's harder and thus he should - I'm pretty sure he could do all the newer grabs since honestly a lot of the uncrossed 'motionless' shit looks better but it's still not as disorienting as a rev. blunt/toxic etc).
