i left the industry before Sammy C. turned pro - I never got a chance to work with him or watch him ride in person.

but looking at all of his movie segments, and the teaser for On Top of The Hood, he rides really aggressively and fearlessly the same way Candide does.

agree or disagree?

Just this morning I commented on Rogge's FB that the step up stuff from On Top of the Hood teaser reminded me of Candide in RFA, same kind of gnar jaw-dropping stuff, just the next level thereof.

I've worked with Sammy quite a bit. The kid's got a lot of confidence and a hell of a work ethic and is the kind of person who can take over a shoot. He also has a ton of energy (maybe on account of the Skittles). Personality-wise, Candide is pretty damn chill and while he charges, he's got kind of that mellow stoke (I think we know what can account for that). Their approaches may be different, but on film that can disappear as they both do ridiculous things.

sammy is insane, but candide's style will never die. cork 3 blunt grabs are still the sickest.

I brought this up to JP Auclair, Josh Loubek, and Zach Davison in a bar after the Revolver premier in Spokane last year. They mostly disagreed, especially Josh Loubek.

I, however, think they are very similar.

I see what you mean, samm is definitely more aggressive than candide style wise though.
