Candide Thovex is renowned as one of the best skiers in the world and we now know what it’s like to spend five minutes in his boots. (Just without all the actual thrills of speeding down a steep slope with no end in sight, which is a good thing.)
The 32-year-old posted a GoPro video on YouTube earlier this week of him nonchalantly going off-peak, weaving through trees like an obstacle course, doing trampoline-like summersaults and all the flips and turns you could ever dream of. It’s a terrifying and mind-boggling ride.

In landmark action for major-college sports, schools and athlete representatives from the NCAA’s five wealthiest conferences on Saturday voted 79-1 to expand what Division I schools can provide under an athletic scholarship.
The vote, taken during the NCAA’s annual convention, redefines an athletic scholarship so that it can cover not only the traditional tuition, room, board, books and fees, but also the incidental costs of attending college. That means a scholarship will now be able to pay for items including transportation and miscellaneous personal expenses.
Conservatively this means Division I men’s and women’s athletes collectively stand to gain at least $50 million a year in additional benefits.
Atlantic Coast, Big 12, Big Ten, Pacific-12 and Southeastern conferences programs MIGHT up scholarships in future.
The new rules take effect Aug. 1, 2015, but scholarship agreements for the 2015-16 school year can be executed prior to that date. …
