Empire Attire

Candide and the EMPIRE team met up for the first time this year!  He received his first pair of EMPIRE gloves and was pumped about them.  Candide is in the middle of designing his mitten right now and should receive the first sample in the next week.  

The EMPIRE team was in La Clusaz, France for the sixth annual Candide Inventional, where the event most definitely lived up to its hype. The weather wasn’t the best; snowing three of the four days. However, Candide, like the true professional he is, still took care of all the riders. He provided lunch and dinner every night, along with VIP parties all week long.   

Candide is still recovering from his back injury. But was out there ripping around the mountain and looks like he will be back to his old self for next winter.  Once again, Candide came up with the biggest and craziest features of the year. He had a log jib, where you had to jump at least 20 feet high to clear it. He also built a loop that no one was brave enough to try.  He also had the big bretha, which was easily a 120 foot step down. It was by far the biggest jump I have ever seen.  It was so big only two riders hit it, while all the others passed on it.  Overall, Candide had the biggest and craziest features; proving that you had to be on your game if you were going to attempt any of them.  

Make sure to look out for future EMPIRE products like the Candide mitten, and also a couple more products that Candide is going to help us design.
