Leo Taillefer has been straight merking lines lately with his gopro. Winning line of the winter, and popping up everywhere on my news feed. Even being so good to have facebook fishers rip his videos and upload them selves. So this begs the question, can Leo Taillefer reach Candide levels of internet breaking??? Thread is useless without videos.

Candide already did the helicopter bit, so Leo has to jump a burning 747 or ski across lava to impress non-skiers with short attention spans like Candide did. Plenty of marketing and unique videos and he could go viral.

Not that this changes anything like my respect for him and how sick of a skier he is but... that squaking annoys me so much

yeah I'm on mobile and that autocorrected haha, I just didn't fix it. Good stuff nonetheless, probably one of my favorite ski parts ever, and he's one of my favorite skiers. Super underrated in America, hoping he gets more exposure over her. Like a game of slush between him and Karl F would be legendary

no, he will never be the first to hit chads, he will never win xgames gold in all three disciplines (much less any one of them), and it's unlikely he'll be winning the FWT any time soon. candide has done just about everything you can do with the ski world and progressed the sport in every step of the way. the innovation of crazy POV edits is just another of many many things for Mr. Thovex's scrapbook.

considering you don't need those accolades for a video to go viral, sure it's completely possible for Leo to hit the millions of views. Just comes down to the editing that would appeal to the mass audience.

$20,000 and over 2 million views for his winning line of the winter last year!! You gotta be happy with that.
