My vote goes to Candide Thovex's superpipe run in 2003 x games. That run changed freeskiing forever...

Lots of good suggestions. Wallisch definitely blew up the freeskiing fanbase in the past few years.

You shouldn't just limit it to Candide. That whole comp was game changing. Remember that CR's run in qualis was even better than Candide's.

The entire segment STILL holds up, but that 180... I cried.

And this is a hard question, I feel like every year from 99-04 I was shitting myself seeing how much the sport progressed each year...
