I swear to god there is nothing more glorious than
lol at comparing candide to henrik. candide is trowing them casually over cliffs in the backcounty first couple hits without rockered skis. totally different game than lapping a manicured park jump.
Comparing Henrik to Candide is like comparing apples to oranges. Candide has the polish of 10+ years of practice, but Henrik has a crazier, edgier style. They both do it really sick, but in different ways.
Dude I hadn't watched that Candide Kamera 2 edit since it first came out. Holy balls I forgot how fucking awesome it is. That switch cork 9 he fall on was crazy. He almost tail buttered the take off.
It's a net. The thing is in St. Anton in Austria (the same place where Bobby's pic was shot at. It was the cover of NS like a month ago. The BC booter). It's just a safety net because there quite a big ravine there. It runs underneath the chairlift, just in case some asshole decides to fall out. I'm pretty sure the shot itself isn't shot from the chairlift though.
So, question answered.
And yes: Candide is the best skier that ever lived in my opinion. Just look at him fucking shred the fuck out of those huge mountains. No offense Tanner, but you're NOT on the same level as Candide...
When Candide is playing GNAR and yells, "I'm the best skier on the mountain!" everyone else basically nods their heads and says, "That sounds about right."
