The video should be called Aziz Benkrich chasing Henry Sildaru and Candid Thovex, fair play for keeping up with a camera.

Shout-out to the best cameraman in the World, aziz benkrich

[sobuboss]

grass skiing while filming, what a mad lad.

[FPrimeHD]

Candide is something else. There aren't many free skiing pioneers left who are active like him. What a fucking legend

[vinceb]

This is an unreal level of speed and control, the comparison really drives home how impeccable candide's technique is even by professional standards.

Thovex is just at another level. So smooth and casual, effortless.

No slow motion No music edit is so vivid and so real. I murmered "Scary" repeatedly. I really like this.

[diplomatt]

Ha, the cameraman had to do all the jumps too...

[OliCM]

Henry always looks semi out of control, his skis shaking and always struggling to scrub off speed, yet he never messes up and pulls off the most outrageous stunts. He's going to be a world class for sure!

Props to the camera guy for keeping up, and such a steady picture too!👍👌

[PetrushT]

Some of these jumps are bonkers if you've been / are from there. Everytime I see Candide in a La Clusaz video, I'm like "fuck, I know this spot, it's big." What a joy to watch, every time.
