Candide Thovex is Still Magic on Skis

Ben Franklin is often credited as saying only two things in life are certain: death and taxes. Unfortunately for old Ben, he didn't quite make it long enough to witness the sorcery that is Candide Thovex on two skis, or else he might have amended his famous adage to include death, taxes and the Flying Frenchman turning every video part he's in into gold.

Per his style, Thovex blessed the Internet with a typically short clip–it's only about 10 seconds in length–and a stereotypically nondescript title (this one is simply titled "Couloirs in Montgenevre") but the huge double backflip he pulls off with ease speaks volumes.
