I can believe the helicopter was real too. I'm sure they tested the jump without the chopper there to make sure he could comfortably clear it. Most big gap jumps are over rocks and other nasty terrain you wouldn't want to hit anyway. Maybe it didn't have spinning blades though, those could have been edited in? But I don't think it was a particularly dangerous stunt by his standards!

CGI is really expensive. I think it's mainly a question of very clever/sneaky editing.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I don't know how expensive it is, but Candide's last video got over 19 million views just on his own youtube channel (numerous other channels also uploaded it with several 100k views too). With that sort of audience I'm sure sponsors like Quiksilver would be willing to shell out a fair bit...

I was talking to people about the bits on grass, and apparently you can slick the grass with water beforehands to make it easier to slide on.

AFAIK bar the breaking window no CGI, just very staged of course, but nothing in there was particularly hard to do, just ballsy.
The on grass one only the landing in the car was fake, the rest was (relatively) easy.

Is it just me, or should this have been titled "Yet another one of those days". The first one was quite witty. This one is just more of the same.

Sick, I believe is the correct nomenclature in this case.
