2007 was a year of highs and lows; Candide won his third gold medal at 2007 in Slopestyle, with a record score of 95/100. However, he ended his season coming up short on 'The Big Bertha', another over-the-top jump he'd dreamed up, which resulted in a fracture to his L1 vertebrae. At first, doctors thought he might never be able to ski again or at least that he would never ski at the same level as before; no more tricks, no more big airs.
