Candide Thovex Skating
Legend
He continues to inspire skiers around the world with his radical ideas and stylish riding. When Candido skates, a legend is born. Candide Thovex has been a constant presence in the snow sports world for decades.
The then 16-year-old Candido has taken the ski world by storm since the dawn of freeriding in 1999 with his fearless, big-scale air tricks. Part of his illustrious career included becoming the first French gold medalist at the Winter X-Games, standing center podium in all three ski disciplines (Big Air, Slopestyle and Superpipe), and in 2010 he suffered a major accident. Overcoming injuries and winning the Freeride World Tour, the pinnacle of freeride skiing.
After that, Candido turned his attention to the world of film and exploded his energy and talent. Since the release of "ONE OF THOSE DAYS" in 2015, which stunned the world with its shocking video, "SKI THE WORLD" released in 2018 has received countless millions of views. Produced videos that we are proud of and delivered them all over the world.
Candido's skating field isn't just snow, it's the whole earth. It doesn't matter if it's on a lush bush slope, on waves, or in the desert. Finally, I skied down the stone steps of the Great Wall of China. The performance is maddeningly crazy and dazzlingly creative. In this way, Candido has pushed the limits in everything he does, and has always left new records and memories in the world.
FACTION, which has supported Candido's masterpiece performance,
announces the end of its 10-year partnership with brilliant achievements
Candido's favorite Faction Skis have supported Candido's challenge of overturning common sense and continuing to pursue the possibilities of skiing. Faction Skis are the skis that have ridden every slope on earth. FACTION is a freeski brand established in 2006 in Verbier, Switzerland, which is also known as the holy land of freeriding. Candido has been deeply committed to the development and promotion of the signature series as an icon rider. Speaking of Candido, Faction Skis is immediately associated with that image, and that image has permeated free ski fans.
In the 21-22 season, the collaboration between the two will reach its final season. Over the past 10 years, Faction Skis and his candido have taken on various challenges, from the development of ski products to expression. Faction CEO and co-founder Alex Hoye issued a statement following the expiration of the decade-long partnership.
“On behalf of everyone at Faction Collective, we would like to thank him for the incredible impact he has had on the Faction Skis brand. will be forever grateful.After 10 years of building award-winning skis together, we both feel we have achieved what we set out to do, and now we are embarking on a new adventure.

The future is bright for both Faction and Faction, which is a good sign that our relationship is a success.
'21₋22 CT signature series
"CT5.0" cannot be missed this season
For the '21-22 season, Faction's Candido Tovex Pro Model Ski 'CT Signature Series' will be the final collection available at Faction retail partners worldwide. The "CT Series" is a signature series supervised by Candido himself for many years. It is a product that combines high glide performance and operability for various snow scenes from park rides to big mountains, just like Candido that can easily slide down any snowy mountain.
“Candido’s vision for the freeski collection has guided our philosophy for this series. In honor of the role Candido played in the development of the brand, the CT 5.0 ski model with which he made so much history. to retire and give this special ski its rightful place in freeski lore.”
From this comment, if you get "CT 5.0" now! That's right. The "CT 5.0" is the highest quality model in the CT series and has been very popular, but it has been upgraded for the 2021-22 season, making it even lighter while maintaining stability and playfulness. This is the final chance for Candido fans not to miss.
