I don't get it.
Normal people could spend a hundred lifetimes riding park everyday and don't be anywhere near as good as Mr. Thovex. Now there is hardly any footage of him riding park for the last two years (beside a couple of shots in Few Words maybe) and then he comes back and is just as good if not better than most people who ride park probably 100 days a year.

I pull off my hat to you Candide...

"videos go in the video section, candides videos arent an exception to that "

what I was told when I made a thread pretty much identical to this but with a different video.

which is dumb, because a thread like this is a great place to discuss it.

Why wasnt Ian Borgeson in this? He's honestly one of their most talented riders and deserves the exposure.

They make good skis.

Corupt did not(good in the sense of innovative). They made pro model skis.

I would buy faction skis regardless of who was on their team.
I can't say the same for corrupt.

this is the best team ever.


THOVEX - DELORME - ADAMS - VANULAR

I like the fact they're not only focussing on a strong competition team, but all of them are simply super-solid all around skiers.

Thats an unreal line up of riders. The only thing that could have made that edit any better would have been some shots of Corey. But holy shit. Candide is the fuckin man.

Delorme's switch carve takeoffs are so sick...no one does that.

On another note, props to Faction's marketing team. Their strategy is working wonders...Candide comes back to park and competing, and AD joins the team. That, along with a new video series and social media presence is putting them on everyone's radar wanting more. Not to mention they have amazing products to back everything.

candide and delorme are the 2 names that make me stop whatever the hell i am doing and watch.

candide is just so confident. when hes going mach 90 thru the park you can tell hes not even thinking about stomping the trick hes doing. he already knows hes going to and is envisioning the next hit. thats how it appears to me anyway.

and delorme is just on another level when it comes to style and innovation. comparing these guys to anybody is just unfair
