Candide Invitational 2007

April 1st, 2007

So, just got back from the Candide Invitation, which ROCKED!

Just an incredible course, the biggest kicker I reckon I’ve ever seen (45m apparently), and some really interesting features. The first day was awesome, changeable weather but some good sunny spells. And then there was a nighttime Jib session, where we saw Candide throwing a corked 810 onto a rail! There was a couple of pretty nasty crashes, but other than that great atmosphere. Candide just wanders around like a god, which I’m starting to think he pretty much is!

Today was a bit of a shame because the weather was shit, really bad visability. So they had to cancel the super kicker again, which meant that noone actually got to hit it, and everything was pretty much done by 3pm. But a great event all in all, make sure you check out Wednesday’s show for the footage, in the meantime here’s a few pics:

Candide was the only person I saw attempt this and he just nailed it first time……job done, move on!

Ahh the Octograb….not Gagnier this time, although I think I did see him ripping about.
