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.

"Thanks for sharing that gem"

I could not agree more.

Faction skis are something special,but that is unreal.

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.

This is the trailer for a film about Candide Thovex. He is the real deal. A pioneer in the world of fee skiing and still going strong.

^That's what we call some pretty bitchen stuff. Fantastical or not.

Just my own preference, but I like video 2 better than the OP vid.

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.

Not saying it's not extremely cool. Not saying I could do it.

But,

Its called editing.


Studly,

Good to see Lindsey and Tiger are still together. He flew in for the record breaking victory.

Un.

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!
