The candide grass skiing video has fake sections, right?

First off, yes, I understand this wasn't one run from top to bottom. It obviously took many attempts to get certain shots. And for the most part, he's IS skiing on grass/road/whatever.

That said, a couple things look suspicious to me...

:38 - :43 -- it looks wayyyyy to smooth. That's gotta be fake, right?

1:19 - 1:27 -- come on now... the start of the trick looks fake

1:33 - 1:36 -- this one's tricky because when he's entering the car it looks real... but how come there's no gopro angle for that shot? wouldn't that be the best shot in the video?

Perhaps I'll get ripped apart for this... however, I am a Candide fan and enjoyed the commercial.

Look for the shadow under the car at the end. There is none. He would have had to lay one down to get into the car. Either the car was not there and put in later with it's shadow or he skied into a pit with airbags at the far side of the car. He did not ski into the back of this car. Optically (as opposed to ski) impossible.
