I have never heard anybody mention the butter levels that Candide has to offer. Having many friends ski on the candide faction skis, I can confirm that the skis do in fact flex and butter quite nicely; however, the prodigy, the legend, the dark knight who only skis in black and never shows his face, can’t quite seem to flex his skis. Is this on purpose? Is this a bit of old school flair? I’m not sure but from what Ive seen, candide can not butter. ……. Candide mid “butter”.
I hate to make this thread as candide is one of my fav skiers, but damn.
unrelated - what boots is he using? they almost look like old SPKs but that doesn't make sense
Pretty sure he’s on Full Tilt. He was a massive SPK user and supposedly bought a ton of them when they went out. Also Factions parent company announced boots and rumor is it’s the SPK shell molds. But that is just a rumor.

As the story goes, Candide brought up as many pairs of the SPK’s as he could before they were discontinued. He must be getting near to the end of his collection by now.
There's a pretty good chance that Candice does not ride the same skis that you buy off the rack. Yes, they have the same name and graphics but some times pros will have extra stiffness and material in their skis because that's what they want to ride, but it won't ride well for consumers.
OldmanripperCome on. Slanderous. This entire clip is complete dialed-in ninja precision.
Kids don't want precision stomps, they want washed out shitty landings so they can call it "style".
I'm sure if Candid wanted to trend chase in skiing he would throw out butters that melted faces. Instead he is timelessly his own. That's why he is the GOAT, and all the C level pro's NS is worshipping right now will probably be forgotten in a few years.

Who are you talking about like that? Kind of a boomer take dickriding candide and putting down other riders for skiing the only way they probably can and getting recognition for it. Go to any other platform and go circle jerk OOTD with the other 1.5 million candide fans and french people. Let NS hype up riders who get a fraction of the recognition. Like if u hate the kids that NS loves then why are you here in the first place lmfao
Imagine buttering some shitty park in the midwest because you will never have the opportunity to shred backcountry since you're not from europe or a trust fund baby with millions to spend on sleds and expensive backcountry excursions and then session comes on here and shits on your whole life for something you literally have no control over. Get a grip, that shit is in style because its the most accessible style in the world.
Prime example: Sam Zahner. Kid was probably considered a pretty good park guy for like 7 years, then he moved out west and finally had access to quality terrain and now hes one of the best street / rail riders in the world. Your take sucks and pissed me off sorry

And I guarantee if it was any other rider in the world you wouldn't be calling them precision stomps, you wouldn't be watching their video in the first place because that shit only goes viral if you HAVE THE TERRAIN TO TAKE YOUR PRECISION STOMPS TO BIG FEATURES AND TERRAIN.
Hope all those "C level pros" blow up and make you feel like an absolute jackass for dissing people making content for free on 1/1000th of the budget candide has.
Who ever doesn't think candide could butter if he wanted to #wack. The old man stomps everything he does. Don't you think he is just skiing the way he wants to? He's using his terrain to his advantage, just like how a kid from the midwest should use their's. why all this beef? if the kid from the midwest got the opportunity to ski huge drops and deep backcountry they'd be able to learn and ski those things too, jeez. Too much hate, on both sides
