Is this the best skier in the world? ''Hold my beer..." Candide Thovex
Right!
Yep
Certainly one of the best but Candide has my vote.
YEP!
Yeah!
Yup
Was about to write that statement but here it is already, so the like button it was instead
He is not the best, he is a legend!
One of the best. These haters wouldn’t have the balls to even look down some of those runs.
Can't talk about the best, without talking about Candide.
Hard to call someone 'the best' while Candide is still around. But this guy is pretty damn good.
Caaaaaandide " The One and Only" , la pureté, le touché et le style !!!! INTOUCHABLE !!!
Absolument
Clair
Dude is a great skier...but he'll have to outski Candide to get that title !
There is a fluidity there that is mesmerizing. I don't see the decision making, it is like he is flowing down the mountain. Every twist, turn and flip feels predetermined and spontaneous at the same time.
I don’t know who the “best” skier is. But this is some amazing footage. This Kuch dude throws down.
If this guy is the best skier of the world, Candide must be the god of the univers !
@Brad Sutton When you are living in front of Balme wich is one of the best freeride place in France, no need to ride in another place ^^
@Brad Sutton you are welcome 🤜🤛
That was then , this is now. Canadians invented freestyle skiing.
I've never seen a better roofer than Candide
As always if MSP is involved - unbelieveable skiing, awesome camerawork, awesome editing and music choice!
Song name: Tribal Blood - I Will Fight
everyone in the comments not realizing he.s got another 10 years atleast in the pro scene and that hes unreal. I used to compete against him in junior FWT stuff and he is an unreal athlete
Top spot goes to a notable Frenchman
👊🤝
Whoever directed/edited this film deserves a raise! How Epic was this?
Candide Thovex probably has a thing or two to say about this. I bet they'd make a sick skiing duo for sure.
Yeah at that level they tend not to get hung up on whose the best, rather who got the primo line
As far as big mountain skiers go ....... absolutely off the charts! I grew up watching the likes of Scott Schmidt and Glen Plake open our eyes to a whole new level of skiing. This was the first time I've seen Sam ski and my mind is absolutely blown away. The same way I was when I watched those guys tear up Squaw and Jackson Hole.
There's a french guy who might be the real goat
Outstanding skier! Definitely one of the best. However the title belongs to Candide Thovex. No one makes skiing looks as effortless as him
Maybe later, but right now Candide is king, followed by Marcus Eder and Sammy C. Though he could grow into one of the greats!
He’s as good if not better. But candide will always be the goat
@@jasonstrongman1089 markus is better
@@jasonstrongman1089 deffo disagree, though i can see why some people would think Kuch is better.
Candide Thovex > ALL, and it has been proved many times.
I mean, the biggest legend, sure. But still? He’s past his prime, so I wouldn’t really say he’s the very best at this moment. Definitely top three in history though
Mate, he is skiing crazy big lines in sub mediocre conditions. Just watch the 2 minute edit he put out today and you'll see the difference
Candide is the the goat and still the best right now
I concur, bold statement and it’s Matchstick’s title that got my view lol but yeah Candide has even been taking down some of the clips due to the stomping. No one charges like Candide, this kid is out of this world amazing and his flow looks so effortless- no doubt one of the best out there but Candide is still the GOAT.
Yup
those switch pillow touches! yeha buddy!
I may not be able to ski like Sam Kuch, but it's ok, he can't ski like me either 😂
Way to go bro !!
Best big film skier of the last couple of years!
it's such an unhelpful, divisive title. What a shame after an amazing video. Very big jumps! Very impressive. When i see his videos in future I know they will be great. With a title like this you force me to think of the racers who finished the Kitzbuhel downhill last weekend with a 85m, 145kph jump where the wind was trying to push their skies over their head, or underneath them, like unfortunately happened to Urs Kryenbühl.
I'm going to vote for Shiffrin... Multiple Olympic gold medallist and world champion... has won world cup events in all 6 racing disciplines - slalom, giant slalom, downhill, super-G, combined, and parallel slalom. 17 wins in a season.... more to come.
So yes, great video, silly title. Please post more, with different titles!
Edit: I was too grumpy. MSP have been making amazing ski videos for decades, and a lot of the time people could / did watch them without paying... so if they want to do some clickbait here and get more views, I think they deserve it. Thank you for a very nice video!
creativity is king
ski racing and freeride skiing are extremely different. pretty sure Matchstick obviously meant "best [FREERIDE] skier on the planet", I think most of us picked up on that quickly, sorry you didn't
i dont even really love skiing (i do both, but I will always LOVE snowboarding more) but this guy....sheesh...any day every day, I will buy him a beer until the end of time
He makes it look so incredible, what an athlete
I think he needs to get by Candide Thovex first. Fun to watch though.
i did quit ma job , 27 ski seasons had to quit that now im back working on building sites, shed load of happy ski memories
Best skier in the world....brilliant!!!! Awe inspiring and amazing. Have never seen this kind of talent.
Love what you do. Do what you love. He appears to be accomplishing that mantra.
Shout out to the cinematographer. I love this slo-mo footage through the trees. Excellent work.
Incredible skier, and he's gonna get better cuz he's still young. None of this stuff was possible with the skis I grew up on... love watching all these young athletes push the envelope.
if not the best one of the best I have seen. This is skiing not the multiple videos where the guys are braking the whole way down. Like someone else said "good flow."
Holy moly... incredible. Very well produced with a great athlete
Beautiful skiing. Almost made me cry.
He is without a doubt the greatest gift of all time
so sick. Seems like a hell of an athlete with his air awareness and landings. Guess they put the goat in the title to bring more attention to him
Awesome skier. Making construction workers proud. My Father was a lifetime Wood Pattern Maker in British Columbia. Thankful he had my brother and I out skiing at a young age.
Great piece. Dude is a monster on the slopes.
this editing is amazing, great video
Soo good! Amazing skiing and beautiful shots!
Impressive. I'm guessing the best skiers in the world spin both ways.
Best at doing 360s to the left over and over in a ski film that is for sure...
no candide thovex is !!!! then the tramriders ,then sam ! njoylife
AMAZING for sure!
No. Candide is the GOAT.
And its not even close
at this level of athleticism i hope he really loves what he does ....you can't go wrong then in any case. awesome hard core ripper.
Have this on repeat. Not much more to say 😆
I'd say he's an expert faller more than an expert skier. He's incredible.
He’s amazing for sure
Looks like he found his life purpose, like he´s having the best time ever and like he will never be afraid of heights again ;_)
What a stupid title and premise for this movie and a shitty thing to do to Sam who seems like a cool guy. The images and skiing are great though.
Some sick skiing and video quality right there! Go Sam & team!!!
The comp to decide the "best skier" is the Freeride World Tour....props to Candide for entering the tour and slaying it his rookie year. Its all about the tour and I am surprised not to see more tour members name dropped in the comments.
Thing is, this is a subjective thing. It's not like a race, where there is a clear winner. To me it's about the healthy competition of people pushing each other to new levels. Kuch is clearly a guy pushing the boundaries of what is possible.
Not about the comp
@@GB-mj2sj yup that’s why best skier was in quotes. I completely agree.
The most important thing is doing it for the Spirit of the Presence - I remember when we used to do S turns and now it is all speed and tricks, but great Job Awesome skier!
Fantastic !
Amazing flow and talent. Definitely next level riding but sorry, this kid doesn’t charge anywhere near as hard as the GOAT Candide Thorvex. Close but all I could think watching his silky smooth moves was how much harder Candide would stomp most of those lines.
Wow, a really amazing free skier. Is Sam the best skier in the world? I think he would have to prove himself more to achieve that pedestal. Beating the Marcel Hirscher's of the world would not be easy, and a slalom or GS course has no powder after 100 other guys go down it first.
Noice! Sweet understated subtle style. Gotta like it!
amazing !!
Mind blown.
2:41 huge lincoln to absolutely massive 7.......all in the middle of a big mountain face. whoa
Never heard about Candide Thovex ? (ManCave Man, thx)
Candide.
Best at freeskiing? That would be Candide until proven otherwise. Sean Pettit could maybe claim that spot if he wanted it. Logan Pehota is doing some gnarly stuff right now too.
Markus eder really makes as big a claim as any ones of these guys
Wouldn't say he is the best by any means, but he might squeak into my top 5 free ride skier. Could be number 1 some day though who knows. Obviously everyone's opinion is different.
fast and big...Candide style..great!
my name is sam. and i skied for the first time today and wiped out a lil but i’m getting a hold of it.
Nessuno come lui cosa dire non ci dono parole di fronte a tanta abilità grandioso
Candide Thovex, Tanner Hall and Henrick Harlaut are the best and OG skiers of their respective generations hands down.
No pain just gains
Great video
Superlative music
impressive !!!!
great last name love it keep up the good work 😊
good to know other languages, huh?
Sammy C is the best for sure
Or Maybe Jesper Tjader
Probably him tho
sammy can't ski big lines that well, I would say he is best pillow skier
GREAT SKIING BROTHA WOW KEEP IT UP
candid i believe is the best
Correct. But Sam is probably almost if not totally equal, At least when it comes to freestyle. I have never seen candide pull such dramatic 3's and 7's off such gnarly terrain. Sam is at the top as well.
I think it’s a bold statement, I would say he is definitely up there i just don’t know how you judge it without a world extreme comp. I would love to see him team up with Candide he is of the same talent and skill for sure! Me I’ll just stick to being average like the other 99% of skiers.
I still think Candide is the best
Candide looks alot smoother.
Some guys just feel right in the air.
The definition of how I want to ski
'best' means nothing... He is fantastic to watch anyway !
When I went to Uni I had SSX tricky on Xbox. That was like the Alaska free run
Bunch of haters on here living in the past. Ive watched a shit load of ski videos, edits, movies etc. and there is a lot of insane skiers out there. This guy though pulls off a trick on basically every feature he encounters and I havent seen a lot of guys doing that. Sure they can all do the same tricks and land it, but this is different. Id put him close to the top 3. I would still put Candid at number one though. That guy is just unreal.
Nice video!
CANDIDE is the best
WOW!
Candide is and will stay the goat !
Sam Kuch is da man serious skillz 🎿 flying snow
Candide Thovex and Sam Kuch best 2 skiers
He skis within the prescence and freedom of his soul.
He fell once in the clip, after throwing a triple w flip and landing a football fields distance down the slope - hip check was permissible in my book, feeeeeeker is sick. 👊🏼✌🏼
Man that guy can ski!
Whitewater legend
There's alotta times when we all have a "best" moment.. No cameras.. Witnesses... U Know.. U were there... This guys definitely risen to the "Top Shelf"... Time&pressure will tell... Ski for tomorrow.... When U put the peddle down a lot... U hope it doesn't get stuck without knowing...egg toss... Kites on a string?... We're all just a big water balloons with bones in da middle?!.....
He is certainly one of them.
Just think of CT hitting the Freeride World Tour, it would be game over!
It was. Look up FWT season 2010.
One more vote for Candide.
@Andrew Stephen Jerry alert
Realy 💥 bomb!
Yes
There is only one Goat
