CANDIDE. FLAWLESS.

[SkiNebraski]

Just watched it again, at 1:44 you get a close up of his bindings, looks like he's running STH 16s instead of the Coreupt binding. I wonder what's up with that?

I am kinda wondering the same thing, also check out pics from the x games, Colby west is riding the same thing, hmmmmmmmmmmm.

[Blurred]

i dont even know why i bother...but.

we see the arm bobble, but its not about that. everything else is so far and above anything....i see one of the best skiers in the world skiing lines faster and smoother than anyone. so what if its not perfect...its better than anything else out there.

critquing something amazing, finding one small detail to diss...im sorry that is hating. you dont apreciate his skiing, you feel the need to try and make it less worthy. with so much positive shit that could be said about that clip you have to find the one bad thing say.

im sure people notice thisngs about your skiing that is not perfect...but mostly we arnt dicks and dont feel the need to try and prop ourselves up by finding some detail of your skiing that may not be perfect. and you know what, the people who do cunt the thread, rightly so get called out.

im just saying if your gonna nibble at someone over that shit, you better be fucking perfect yourself.

edit--and to reply to the quote, it dosent seem like you sticking up for park skiers...and you never once said, untill this post...that he killed it whatsoever. you said the clip should be called good edit!! implying the editing is better than the skiing??

Seriously dude, you're so far removed from skiing it's pathetic.

You really think Candide is a better big mountain skier than anyone else in the world?

You're a moron. Thanks for playing.

BTW-I'll go out on a limb here and say the people commenting on the goal posting have infinitely more ski experience than you, so you may want to shut the fuck up.

Also, you've been posting here how long? Do you even ski?
Have you ever posted a TR in the 7 years you've been here?
Or do you just measure your ski savvy by how much stupid shit you say?
Some of us back things up with what we do. Try it sometime, douchebag.

so lets see your footy with all the tight quiet hands

[Shepherd Wong]

Loved it. I think the reason he's more active in the air is because he's skiing entire lines rather than the take off/landing you usually see in other clips. I get kinda tired of seeing the sucked up legs/hands by your feet style anyway.

[Blurred]

Why don't you and steepconcrete put up your footie.

I mean you're a pussy using an alias and he doesn't even ski. Nuff said.

[Flying Armbar]

Why don't you and steepconcrete put up your footie.

but you are the one who backs things up with the things you do.

SC doesnt have a problem with the hands, so what would his video prove? his hands move around in the air?? shocking.

moronic

C'mon. Let's see your footie. I mean, you two idiots know what you're talking about more than TD or I. Let's see it.

[gobblehoof]

blurred - i blame myself your for sad bitterness - I never should have let uncle agnes drag you into the cellar that night - you really never have recovered - learn some manners button mushroom dick. having the spare time to post endless crass comments qualifies you you for nothing

[Flying Armbar]

C'mon. Let's see your footie. I mean, you two idiots know what you're talking about more than TD or I. Let's see it.

you dont even make sense. its like dealing with a child.

please tell me what you think i'm talking about that you then need illustrated by footage of myself skiing.

full moronism on display here

[Blurred]

[gobblehoof]

maybe its been said before but part of the reason why i love those clips of candide so much is that he is skiing the kind of shortish lines and terrain that the majority of skiers here are familiar with. 1000 metre no turn heliski runs in haines alaska don't have anything to do with my experience when i visit the mountains. its all pretty impressive but so so is riding rockets but neither say anything about my life on the slopea

3 things:
1. You sound angry.
2. Steepconcrete does ski. Or maybe not. But who cares? He has a cool avatar.
3. This is a nice air, but you're flailing your arms here.


Before you get all mad stalkerish and bring up some of my old posts to call me out, I'll save you the effort and say right now that I am a shitty skier that can barely make a turn and I usually gets hurt when hucking these days. To top it off, I'm living in one of the flattest parts of the world right now. Sucks to be me.

Edited for truth.

Peep the afterbang.

[Game Over]

wow, someone has a chip on thier shoulder.

[Game Over]

dude i just puffed with homies, we laughed at you and i thought about it.

i dont ever have a problem with you what so ever untill you attack me. overall i think your a ok guy who just happens to have some issues. i also have issues.

but you kinda opened a can, so fuck you here it is. my honest opinion.

i think that you, brett, blurred, b11 whoever...you are a angry looser who is unhappy with his life, and on top of that your about the biggest poseur ive ever known, weather it be thru the internets or in real life.

you see i dont care if i suck or if im a rad skier, im not tring to prove shit or claim shit....i love it skiing, and i have fun.

but you try so hard to come across like your all rad or in the know, and honestly the desperation is pathetic.

face it, your nobody just like me.

[sts9andski]

too funny. and thats a good little trailer.

[My Pet Powder Goat]

uuummmm, did I come at a bad time? should I come back later?

Thought his line selection was rad. he had zero hesitation top to bottom

[gaijin]

Candide rips.

Anyway, blurred, 12,000+ posts and you're still playing the TGR forum game. How many years of TGR arguments is that? That's absurd.

I'm more shocked at Blurred's thread-count / defensiveness than the vid... I knew Candide was going to deliver content worthy of discussion. But blurred, most people kinda give up and quit after 100 or so interweb bs dick-waving contests.

[neck beard]

I liked it. Less line-up-and-drop and more skiing, with lots of incredible drops anyway.

Here's something really out there... although in a whole different league, it reminded me of Drew Tabke's FWT run on the Tram Face recently - which stuck out to me when I saw it at the time. Skiing the exposure, in addition to lining up then hucking the exposure.

My guess is that the punter dvd audiences out there are starting to enjoy more top to bottom short line shredding with hucks, rather than sequences of one hits with no terrain context. Of course, respect to any athlete that can do any of it. Who the fuck am I to judge?

Peep the afterbang.

that's not afterbang, that's pre- hottub flail.

[senior researcher]

Candide's ripin' Blured's tripin' Who would you rather ski with?

[Scottish_Skier]

Always been a big fan of Candide Thovex...

Really unique fluid style that it is great to watch.

Great to see him coming back from a broken back too

[Blurred]

Well, I'm playing poker, so I'll respond to this dumb shit again.......

i think that you, brett, blurred, b11 whoever...you are a angry looser who is unhappy with his life, and on top of that your about the biggest poseur ive ever known, weather it be thru the internets or in real life.

Actually, everyday I wake up, I have to pinch myself. My life is blessed....don't know why, but I'm very lucky.

However, being called a "looser" by someone who doesn't know the difference between the usage of "weather" or "whether" is really damaging to my massive ego. And I'm pretty sure you'd have to "meet me in real life" to make that statement as well.

Lets go skiing sometime. I'll buy the beers, and we can laugh at this dumb little internet drama. No doubt, this forum is retarded. But it keeps me entertained between hands of poker. Back to the game. Peace

[Flying Armbar]

No doubt, this forum is retarded.

you always say that when you get called out, Tubby McHandwave.

[Long duc dong]

this is not really meant to be a knock on tanner, as much as a comparison/compliment to candide, but considering they both came from the park scene, candide seems much more content to ski lines fast and straight air them with flow as opposed to tanner who seems like hes merely getting to his next feature to spin off. That being said, spinning off cliffs is insanely difficult, just different styles. I prefer the fast, fluid, linking lines to those that are clearly designed for one specific air.

again, not trying to start a debate about the merits of tanners freeriding ability, just a viewing preference.

I have mixed feelings. In Tanner's last two movies he has really taken a step up IMO. Candide destroyed those lines, but I have still never seen him destroy a huge Alaskan line. In both Believe and The Massive Tanner stepped up and KILLED some big AK lines. He really went from a park guy who could ski big mountains, to a big mountain ripper. He hit up a few lines where I could not believe it was him skiing. He skied serious lines at high speed.

I would have agreed with you before Believe, but Tanner has really taken a step up with his last two films.

That being said, I was really impressed with this video. Candide absolutely kills it. The one thing I have yet to see him do is kill a big line in AK. He did not look all that great in Anomaly. I did not see him ski any lines that made me say wtf.
