Candide Thovex?

[Skimonk]

Any news on him after his fall on Big Bertha?

Can he walk or more important can he ski still?

wwfilms website seems to be down, is "seventh heaven" still coming out?

The guy should have Sizzla cut him a dubplate as the song for his segment...

"... big up Candide Thovex... badman skier... dis is Sizzla Kalonji inna dub plate stylee... selector.. run da track..."

hehe

ha, candide thovex is so good. that was really sad when he had that crash.

 

[keystoner1]

that fall was rediculous. but i would like to know how he is doing as well

 

[VT_scratch]

what was this fall? i dont recall hearing of it. links? im gonna search for it.

 

[keystoner1]

last spring. try typing in big bertha on youtube.

 

[colin13]

anybody speak french? if so im sure there would be an update on skipass.com. i would really like to know

 

[ktollefson_1080]

 

[colin13]

way worse. simon "walked" away and candide broke his back. the jump was something rediculous like 144 feet and a stepdown.

 

[kenevil]

I just watched the vid, that jump is massivly huge

 

[TheButterHashira]

Yeah he looks like an ant compared to that behemoth.

 

[EL_FINRE]

didnt he land like 10 ft short of the knuckle or something like that? such a rediculous fall

 

[djty111]

dam...does anyone know how big that jump was...

 

[AltaByrdSkier]

yeah i hope he is doing ok

 

[dave44]

It was ages ago, and I think it was worse than Dumont's overshoot. Thovex came up short on like a 100 footer, and broke his back.

Dumont got up from his overshoot, even though he like ruptured his spleen or something.

 

[CZA]

ages ago? i didnt know that 6 months was known as ages. it was just last spring/winter

 

[alaskakid]

Candine's a god

 

[colin13]

it was around 45 m. thats rediculous. thats almost 150 ft. i read it somewhere on skipass.com i cant believe he would even try it

 

[Alex_G]

No, he's french.

 

[alaskakid]

Him and soon to be thomas krief are exceptions

 

[joly.sp]

I thought dumonts splat almost killed him cuz of his ruptured spleen. I didnt hear about candides crash until now. this was a couple moths after X? Is he allright?

Candide is doing good, got the update from HQ in France today.

He's able to ski and plans to hit jumps again in January. That was a serious injury and he knows he was lucky! We wish him the best...

and i can say too that candide is doing pretty good comppare to his crash cause i was skating his mini ramp at his house and he's skating pretty crazy for his injurydo it's all good for candide but for sure he won't be abble to jump huge booter like the big berta like the past year but he will be abble to ski

 

[Silence]

i wouldn't be surprised if he takes it easy this season

 

[dilla_says_go]

he just needs to up his does of "medicine". he'll be fine.

 

[SkierX]

Thanks for the update PK-ripper and Favre! Good to hear he's doing alright and well on his way to recovery.

One of the best in the sport for sure.

 

[CALFERNIAN]

Laurent: Do you have some pictures or video him skating, would be cool to see.
