CANDIDE THOVEX (FRA) - 3RD PLACE RUN - NISSAN XTREME BY SWAT

Candide Thovex (FRA) Freeride World Champion 2010 Ski / 3rd Nissan Xtreme by Swatch
Every one says I am the rookie, but Im not! I have always been freeriding, since I was a kid. I am a skier. Freestyle, freeride, I ski whatever I enjoy. I have been inspecting the Bec des Rosses face really thoroughly. I was quite nervous and impressed by this big, committed face. It was really impressive at the top. Xavier de Le Rue gave me a lot of advice at the start he was so confident and I was pretty nervous. I chose an easier jump in the end as my legs were so tired. I wanted to do the Freeride World Tour because it is just great to ski with riders like Auélien Ducroz, Kaj Zackrisson, Henrik Windstedt and Julien Lopez. I am astounded to be surrounded by such amazing athletes.

one of the best runs I've ever seen in a freeski competition. glad he won the overall.

[laigdumidi]

i think he should have won. check how he rides the top (0:23 to 0:33) vs Kaj (0:33 to 0:53). he's twice as fast!

Wow, IMO much better than Kaj's line.
