LAME. Those are some amazing graphics, and it looks like a lot of time went into those.

is everybody missing the obvious. there is a big rossignol sign behind him at the Candide invitational. and the bindings are rossi. he would not have a rossignol sign behind him at his own comp if he was not still with them.

^^ oops, this is the text that goes with that pic:
rossi was one of the comp sponsors. their shit was everywhere
including tents on the mountain, at the base, etc. their deal with La
Clusaz to sponsor the comp is a different thing than their personal
sponsorship of Candide. there were plenty of other Rossi riders there
anyway, and as Candide wasnt riding this year they probably didnt mind
too much since there are no iconic photos of the event organizer
slaying the course with some other skis on his feet.
the budget
for this comp was huge. it sounds like negotiations broke down at the
last minute with candide and the rossi/la clusaz contract would have
made it impossible for them to pull out that late, same with the other
sponsors (Virgin Radio, Ski mag, etc) that are not necessarily sponsors
of Candide either.
that ski might be a debadged rossi or it
might not, and it might turn out that hes back with them once details
are hammered out, but the rossi signs everywhere are easily explainable
dont mean anything. it did look rockered. here's a shot we got of him
going up the lift with the bases. guess away.

Who cares if he is still using their poles and boots. He has them. Just because he is in negotiations, is he supposed to go get other boots to ski on? Ha. This whole thread is funny.

BAHAHAHAHAHA
translations can be funny when they are direct...
but anyway.. to all those hating on the bindings being set OH MY GOD SO FAR BACK...
they are his pow skis, and probably set for primarily directional destruction... I'm sure if he was looking to do some switch shit, he would mount them a bit more forward (and i'm sure he has a few pairs of these that are... stop freaking! lol.

there are no rules against him buying a rossi binding. it looks like his new skis and rossi bindings, big deal

noobs, candide has always had even his park skis mounted way back that just seems to be how he rolls, and it doesn't stop him from landing switch on shit like big bertha so I'd lay off his mounting choice.

bahaha, the irony of it all is too much.
look at the first two skis in your own quiver, then overlay the snipe at elan you made here and then realize you fucking pwned yourself. good work.

who are you to set boundries for a pro model ski? Im sure candide knows a lot more about skis than you. Hell, if you knew more, maybe you could give some imput to the company so Ninthwards would stop falling apart for the [(however long ninthward has existed)] years.
