Both legends, both slay pipe park and bc. Here's a little comparison, you be the judge:

Candide - born 1982
Tanner - 7 x-games gold medals (slope, pipe, big air)
Candide - 2 x-games gold medals (pipe, slope)
Tanner - smokes weed
Candide - smokes weed
Tanner - broke ankles at Chads
Candide - hit chads gap at age 17 with dspin 720
Tanner - owns Inspired Media and Armada
Candide - owns Candide Camera show
Tanner - Slays BC and big mountain
Candide - Freeride World Tour champion 2010, slays BC and Big Mounatin like no other
Tanner - no comps named after him
Candide - Candide Invitational, with arguably the biggest, craziest jump ever made in a comp
Tanner - after many major injuries
Candide - after many major injuries
Tanner and Candide - did park/pipe when younger, moved to backcountry (only)


You decide...

Why would I ever choose? They are both legends whose classic segments I will never tire of watching and our sport wouldn't be the same without either of them.

I'll go with Tandide Halvex.

quit reading after this. Candide won the gold in X Games Big Air in 2000.

if you're going to make a stupid thread about stupid shit, at least get your facts straight.

Ya and since when did Tanner stop skiing park? Did you watch the THC show or even hear about his plans for the Olympics?

Candide for me. His technique is better, his style (in my eyes) is better and his balls are way bigger. Also much more innovative. T-Hall is the man but Candide is a cut above

Candide. He slays WAY harder than Tanner. Let them ride the same mountain and Candide is down by the time Tanner made his second turn.

Oh and don't give me shit that Tanner only makes two turns to get to the bottom. I'm talking gnarly mountains that even Ligare would make turns on.

Candide is the greatest skier on the planet. Always him over Tanner

Tanner is more versatile, but Candide's style is more unique and he's slightly more invincible and consistent. For example, I doubt it would have taken him 3 tries to cab 9 the I-80 jump.
