since the subject of the boys from tgr is up, how about votes for 1)sickest new school jump ,2)new school jib, 3)powder sequence 4) big mountain line, 5) mogul air 6) alpine race sequence, sl, gs, supa g or dh caught on video by tgr or any flick for that matter. <BR> my vote for jump is from last years tgr's mind the addiction- skier/candide thovex- jump/a simple gap shot back flip off a backcountry booter to a backside table- specs/about a 15-20 ft foot jump to a max height of about 40 feet to a total distance of a about 125 feet/ why- it's a pretty simple ( relatively for them) jump. but the style ,i think is amazing...what does it for me is towards the end of the rotation, when candide is about 20 feet from the ground and falling fast and flat out parallel with the ground, instead of contiuing to pull his feet under him, he gives this subtle tweak in which he extends his feet back towards his ass and his hands back over his head before pulling them foreward again and sticking it... i've never seen that little tweak at the end of that jump before... super style on that boy candide for sure... ( as a side note, i think candide is one of the new school guys who actually can ski well all around ) mogul air/an old school move that i've only seen executed by one person, although others may have done it-skier/frank's countryman jean luc brassard/jump- the double cassock / why- he gets full extension (or tries to, i've seen him almost ruin himself a couple of times ) on both splits , an amzing feat off of such a small jump... alpine race would probably be bode's recovery run in the 02 olympics... i have to think about the others
