don't hate but i really wasn't all that impressed with candide's 95.00 run. especially in rails. i think it was sammy right before him that did 450 or 630 disaster and a 270 pretz 270 off. he was slayin rails

uh didnt candide and sammy have esentially the same rail runs. exept candide did wtich 630 and sammy did 450 on the last one?

they both did like spin on double stich up spin off and then 360 switch up.

Candide, Olsson, T-Bag are the big names and its cos they're the best.

Andreas, Dumont, Vanular, Carlson are close on their heels though.

allright i think its definetly candide, no argument.
he was the first to hit chads gap and make it, then later he did a sick d-spin 7 over it. also if you watch any of the rastafarides he rips it up every time with creative tricks as well as steezed out cab 10s. if u dont believe me check this before u start arguing:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=OYLprMcqEJU

for those of you who say tanner hall its not that i think hes a bad skier because he definetly isnt but the guy is a douche bag. hes the reason skiers are starting to get this white trash gangster fad when most skiiers live as far as possible away from any "gangster" area.

and when it comes to all the other guys like hatveit, olsson, sammy, vanular etc. they are close behind but they still have to have a couple more rediculous seasons before i would consider them the best.

The things he's doing in the BC are unbelievable. If you've never tried to takeoff or land anything huge switch in the BC, it's hard to appreciate how extraordinary Pep is. The only person comparable to Pep is Pollard (and Andy is getting there), and while Pollard is smoother than Pep, Pep has a bigger trick bag than Pollard and is generally going bigger.

Ya Pollard is pretty sick I thought we were talking Park but still Candide kills it in the back country he's just not totally devoted to it like Pollard, Dash Longe, Sage, and so on. But Pep did do Xgames and he was doing it without poles which was way cool because his runs were so much different.
