I am an intermediate skiier and I'd love to know you can be back seating while maintaining proper cog? Like leaning backwards with most weight on the front of the feet?
@@leftde18 So Candide is described in the first comment as 'backseating' as his upper body is relatively backwards in relation to his feet, but the legs (and to an extent the arms) contribute to his COG still being forward enough?
@@Kti432 Exactly! In fact, Candide doesn't ski "in the front seat" that often. He often has a more centered stance and approach but I think that comes from his absolute mastery of the sport. You could try experimenting with a more centered balance too, but you will always be held back if you don't figure out the front seat thing as well. Expert skiers constantly adjust their balance and COG fore and aft -- both freeskiers and racers.
@@leftde18 well said. Btw, in an old interview after the first one of those days, he admitted it was the first time he tried skiing on grass, and it was suprisingly slippery
Its cgi it was actualy filmed on snow is basicaly like green screen on movies but white. Thats why he dosnt wear anything white. Only some of the clips are real.
I can't believe anybody would give this video a thumbs down curious this video is amazing I'm going to try it this weekend did you see what kind of bindings he was using. LOL amazing. Make more be careful. Carry on blessings in Christ Jesus name anywhere.
I'm gonna assume that everything but the last jump into the car was real and say Candide you the sickest maniac in skis ive ever seen. Even if the tractor jump was edited I cant tell cause you would definitely do something like that lol but this is still so damn awesome
This is the coolest Audi commercial of ALL TIME!!!!! was he riding special skis or can you just go ride down any grass filled mountain w any freestyle skis?
The long grass seems questionable to me too. The jump over the tractor feel weird too : look at his knees during landing. I don't feel it's what I expect after a 5+m jump (based on the hight at the summit, tractor + giono for scale). Particulary when landing on grass.
+Radu Segal he really ride the grass, for all the flips stuffs, we never see the kick so I guess they installed some rubber with holes and alot of water, like they do for the launch ramp of waterjumps or even more amazing, in england with a snowpark, with absolutely no snow, only what I just said. The only thing who let me perplex in that video is the jump into the car...
+Adrian Löfstrand It's called video editing, most of the ride and jumps are edited, snow is replaced with grass, autumn leaves, forest, etc. Some shorts views appear to be real, though.
+Smart Cat Collar Project so you make an uneducated dumb ass assumption and pass it off as fact like you know what you are talking about. You are an idiot...or maybe just your average youtube commentator.
+Thesajlem + nesq | Levi F. Hi, The song is “Different Futures” by Good News Tunes. findmusicusedinads.com/candide-thovex-quattro-song-by-good-news-tunes/
first i saw the thumbnail and was like: "nah he wont ski down the forest without snow" .. then i clicked the video and was like: "okay" :D thats awesome!
+Oli Kasicki fuck u man, my m8 was his cousin he showed me a vid of him hitting kickers off of snowed in cabin's roof's, shit was beast, candid does not go big like JP, rip JP u where the best and fuck contracts! he didn't even want to be in Chili at that time to begin with.

" French skier Candide Thovex teamed up with Audi to make this mind-blowing, no-snow skiing video as an advertisement for the Audi Quattro. Just when you think you’ve seen it all, French skier Candide Thovex does it again. His long resume includes all kinds of competitive awards. In the freestyle ski world he is known as an innovator of style. We are told that nothing in the video is fake. Even the last scene with the Audi Quattro is real. We were skeptical and re-played the scene in slow motion. Yes, no digital editing. Just a very clever use of camera angle!" www.flixxy.com/candide-thovex-does-not-need-snow-to-ski.htm?
Incredible computer graphics! It totally looks like he's skiing on leaves, asphalt, dirt, wooden bridge, etc. So cool! Now will someone please, seriously, invent a ski base that can actually do this! It would be a HUGE market. PLEASE, we want this!
+SiouxDonyms Seriously? Many on here really think this is real? Wow, I guess that tells us how far graphics have come. I certainly don't have time to sit and read through 500 comments, but apparently not many people commenting have actually experienced the ski surfaces in the commercial like I have. So don't come on here and claim you have "first-hand knowledge" of something you know nothing about. It's a commercial, people. Commercials are made to make the impossible appear real. For those of you a little short on common sense, lemme help you out with a little experiment. It's obvious in the crop field scene, with the jump and the backflip, the slope is at most around 10 degrees. Meaning the ground level is dropping more than 6ft for every dozen ski lengths. Download a free inclinometer app onto your phone, then throw your skis in the car and find yourself a 10 degree slope of leaves, meadowland, rock scree, mature wheat, blacktop....whatever. Hell, make it a 15 degree slope for good measure. Now put your skis on. Try to make 'em slide. Yeah. Some people need to have everything proven to them. Even the laws of physics. Others simply think things through. In other news...What an awesome commercial concept Audi!
+SiouxDonyms Well, whaddaya know. Audi singlehandedly exposes the ski industry's best kept secret! NOBODY NEEDS NO STINKIN' SNOW!!! That means every slide-related product ever made is a lie! This will have worldwide repercussions. Companies making everything from snowcats to high-tech skiwear have either been FLEECED right along with the rest of the world or they're part of a century-old SNOWJOB. Wait, that means the FAKE SNOW INDUSTRY is FAKE! They've been selling us unnecessary ground cover. They've duped us into believing we can't ride without snow. How stupid are we? We've all been paying ski areas millions to BUY WATER they don't need so they can spend millions on snow-making machines to MAKE SNOW we don't need!! That means all the world's skiers and snowboarders are stupid. Except the ones at Audi. Or maybe it means Audi made such a kickass commercial it even fooled hard-core riders.
+SiouxDonyms well... Who's talking without knowledge here ? I happen to work for the company who produced the commercial - Google me and you'll find out - and I can guarantee that this stunt was almost entirely performed, on the ground. But hey...non believers will keep non believing, won't change anything as far as I'm concerned Peace to all riders here :-)
Dude he’s going to be so excited when he finds out you can do this on snow!
Hahaa, good one!

This video was absolutely incredible.

you can tell he's back seating it so hard but still keeping his center of grav where it should be. dude is a legend

that is how advertisement has to look like.

OK. I'm dying to know. Is this real? The jumps, especially in the long grass, seem questionable. Very cool vid regardless.

Did you realy ride on grass ? or it was edited ? i cant tell actualy :)))
+Radu Segal It's candide thovex bro ^^
+Radu Segal He did ride on grass and shit, but a lot was edited, you can be sure of that.
+Radu Segal 2 things where edited- back/frontflip in the deep grass (special layer) and the jump in the car. Rest was pretty much real ;)
+Maxi Harti I don't think that backflip in the grass was edited.

The only thing who let me perplex in that video is the jump into the car...
That was the best video I've ever seen
is this real??
is it possible to go on grass for a long while ?
and not just for a couple of seconds?
+Adrian Löfstrand Yeah i thought the same..
+Adrian Löfstrand It's called video editing, most of the ride and jumps are edited, snow is replaced with grass, autumn leaves, forest, etc. Some shorts views appear to be real, though.
+Smart Cat Collar Project No. Stop it and look frame by frame. It is NOT CGI as you attempt to claim.
