The BTS video was crazy. Really cool to see surfing and skiing mixed together like this.

I will admit, when I first seen the Audi commercial a while back I was like this is all fake.......... Granted some of it is edited and cut but most every stunt was actually done in real life from skiing in the desert to riding the wave, he slid on all of it on his 2 sticks! Pretty damn impressive.

Seems like they edited shots together to make it look like it was one run when I'm sure he was after it for many attempts. Either way candide is the GOAT.

That is what I meant by edit, there were numerous takes but made to look as one.

This is like the only edit I’ve ever seen where skiing looked even remotely difficult for Candide. He is the Good Will Hunting of skiing. “Do you have any fucking idea how easy this is for me?!?”
