Fuck The System.
Thumbs up if wont be living "the American dream"
And Ski in peace Shane Mcconkey. The Guy who knew what life was all about and died experiencing it. Peace
that shot near the end where hes riding away with his fist raised, is the most epic thing i have ever seen. he truly died doing what he loved. RIP Shane.
I love this movie I watched it last night. In case anyone was wondering that girl at the end was in the next segment of the movie. The Simon dumont part. R.I.P. Shane the hero I've never met
I was born on the same day as him, ski at the same ski area as he did, and wish to one day be as good a skier as him (i wish), RIP Shane, your my hero!
I never met him but shane has inspired many people such as myself, he pushed skiing to the next level and is most likely shredding it up in the next world
This man is my idol. I've never met him, and every time I see him in a film, I smile, and admire the life he lived. He IS skiing, and he always will be. R.I.P. Shane.
@i4SHOTRS Matchstick Productions owns most of the rights to his film segments. After he died im sure they became alot more Lax about the whole copyright thing.
Looks like incredible fun, but when you have a wife and child, you need to 'rethink' priorities. His child is forever deprived of a father, and his wife may be in for a lifetime of financial struggle - and for what?
When is enough enough? When do the lives of others start mattering enough to curb selfish priorites? Such a shame.
@girljazzlvr Selfish priorities? Are you kidding me? This man inspired countless individuals (including myself), and continues to do so even after his death.
And "such a shame"? Wrong again. Shane lived and died doing what he loved. His death may have been tragic, but I can guarantee he would have rather died on that mountain after living the life he did, than in a hospital bed 40 years later.
Seriously, get your head out of your ass. RIP Shane
great skiing, stupid though, but incredible stuff, and a great song to top it off haha, love the backflips, you can tell his death was bound to happen sometime, but RIP man
RIP shane, I'm glad you died doing what you loved. As Abraham Linkolin said "And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years." I can think of no greater quote to sum up your life. Rest in peace.
The huge supermans he stomped were epic. But then, what made Shane a great skier, apart from his grand character, was the fact he loved and showed all the aspects of skiing. Not just jumping around in the park, but also BC and a mix of skiing with other extreme sports like base jumping.
McConkey intended to glide away in his wingsuit, "a stunt he's executed a number of times," according to a statement from Matchstick Productions, the company whose films McConkey often starred in. But McConkey struggled to release his skis. By the time he got them off, he'd been free-falling for 12 seconds and was too close to the ground for his wingsuit or parachute to do him any good. His parachute did not malfunction; it was never deployed. He died on the scene.[4]
i met that dude in the mid 90's at Grand Targhee. I was working in the coffee shop and he was doing a steep camp with the Egan brothers.Straight up was one of the coolest dudes!! RIP Shane!!!
this video brought a tear to my eye. I remember the first time i ever attempted a superman front flip, it was because of this segment. And every one that i do from now on will be a tribute to Shane. RIP mate.
1:25 because when your Shane McConkey, you don't need skies.
