that was awesome! It was a bit edited so it was hard to tell if some of it real but I'm inclined to believe it's for real. I love where he goes in the Bergschrund Rock Tunnel at 3 :56. Major badass.

Pretty nicely edited. That was more like 8 days judging by the many different snow conditions, the angle of the sun and different aspects. Circus acts with skis on, fun to see.

those are some badass lines!!! That tunnel line is rad! Gotta shovel some snow in, but fun!
Looks like he hops onto the race circuit in the beginning and hucks one over a racer. Hope that one was not staged!

It is awsome. very much rehersed and lots of fun. It was not a real race. The alpine team training session. You can tell by how many people and extra skies are @ the start. this guy is obviously on the freestyle team. they should use more skiers and riders in action movies.

Sweet!, I am still smiling, L O S = Life On Skis!
As Trad points out at least a second run if you look every launch and landing has fresh tracks.
I think the Grass n' Gravel skiing is live, not that all of it isn't, but some editing is evident.
The lack of snow low on the Mnt. and in the long shots?
Grass n' Gravel, pre- set run, all miles of great skiing no stupid music! Flyingand dropping in and through that tunnel !! where is this? did I miss the location??
At the almost half way point(2:40)
the camera catches a bird flying over head ! so this skier is well know to the entire population on the Mnt.
Boyds do not photo bomb by accident !
Everyone was in on the run !even the birds saw and approved!
This just in if you care Lindsey Vonn has tied the record for most World Cup Down hill wins
# 62!! She is one tuff go fast go big go badazz Skier!!

ON another front Lindsey Vonn just tied the record for most world cups wins (with Annemarie Moser-Proell of Austria) at 62 wins.

Lindsey Vonn
yes she looks good but her mentality is what is hot!
She dominates at full speed! having crashed many times and returned many times
to compete to get back to the top!
For years now! she is the real deal!

Thanks for sharing that gem. Its way awesomesauce! My son and I went skiing this last sat. at badger and hit some dirt sections (it's really disconcerting how little snow there is.) It didn't work out that well. His first time and mine in over 20 years. He's completely stoked on it and I'm proud of how well he did.

Regarding the OP, I prefer watching something that actually happened, though I love the fantasy too. To get back to reality, just turn off the sound on Franz's run.

Zbrown, its all actual footage shot by Candide Thovex with a headcam, just spliced together in places. Candide is just to radical. Here's another video of him. The wipeout at 6 minutes had to leave a mark, but the guy is so talented.

Real.
Those scenes in the middle east at about the halfway point were breathtaking. How hard must some of his wipe-outs been in that terrain!

Just search Candide's name on youtube if you want to kill a few hours. Better than cute kitten videos, that guy is unreal.
