Shane McConkey Tribute (1969-2009)

[TheKkxkkx]

@seanfleming1

Hitler would be proud of you.

I guess I'm going to hack your computer to stop you from doing shit.

[clarky315]

I met Shane in SF at a Red Bull event. Got silly drunk and had a couple brownies.

Real nice guy.

I've been out of the ski loop for a while, and just found out he died last night. Very bummed.

[MrMrEnigmus]

R.I.P legend . You were and you are the best skier on the world

[bikefreak911]

i lost my dad to base this yr it is really hard... to all of u that are saying disrespectfull shit please stop!! u will never understand the loss that his family and friends are going through!!!!!!

[McTwist4]

it´s so sad :( R.I.P. from slovakia you was best skier :(

[ACDChemi]

@McTwist4 takyto umieraju co raz castejsie.. !!

[Halonberget]

R.I.P Shane McConkey We all will miss him No one Will ever do the same he did to the sport of Skiing, i Hope Hes Going Good in the After Live Rest in peice

[skigott911]

YES Shane, you can do it

[shuster367]

very good music for this video , but on the other hand its really sad to see him pass away doing what he loved to do :(

[seanfleming1]

he was alright.......truthfully......­....but at least he died doing what he does best

[seanfleming1]

tomatoes tamatoes

[subzero4829]

He didn't die doing what he did best, he died what he loved doing, and truthfully i really think he passed away knowing that he accomplished something in life and that he is truly a hero to us all.

[seanfleming1]

thats what i fucking meant don't get into a sob story over a fucking guy that didn't do anything to help this world

[seanfleming1]

your acting like he's a god or something

[seanfleming1]

seriously no one gives a fuck he dies and no one gives a shit.

[reebs420]

you are very wrong and shouldn't talk about a legend like that! Especially when they are dead!! Have some class and respect you jack ass!! MCCONKEY was one of the biggest innovators of skiing ever!!!!!!!!!!

RIP SHANE

[seanfleming1]

yes now go and cry about it

[jordzzzzzzz]

Learn some respect, bitch. You wont amount to a 1/16 of what this guy was. Sit your 14 year old bitch ass down. I would bitch slap your face if I knew you

[seanfleming1]

@12sica1 "you're" stupid

[Samyinaferrari1]

@jordzzzzzzz Although I agree with what you're saying to this moron, I disagree with your numbers, most great men don't even amount to 1/16 of shane, Id personally rank myself 1/100th of what shane is, so if im a nice respectable guy and id rand myself that low in comparison, this moron is probably 1/17821 lol

[Rene09091971]

@seanfleming1 idiot...another stupid human on this planet..

[Mrchokladgris]

@reebs420 If not THE biggest innovator? Atleast of modern free skiing

[omgac1]

@seanfleming1 you are one hell of a piece of shit- even if (in your irrelevant and idiotic opinion) he achieved nothing, you should still respect the fact he died pushing the boundaries and doing what he loved.

[seanfleming1]

@omgac1 i started out respecting him if you look above..... but you have royally pissed me off........

[zF15z]

@seanfleming1 immature little kid.

[JulianBreslin]

wait was his death that second clip at the beginnig

[ErlendYo91]

lul wut?

[Sycorexxx]

Would like to know that 2.. sick fall 4 sure

[Rene09091971]

@JulianBreslin No. It was during a base jump. One skier didn't went of and he start to spin and couldn't open his parachute. RIP Shane

[Rene09091971]

@Rene09091971 watch? this. v=kWinjgQMz-8&hd=1

[algonquinuser]

@JulianBreslin

No it wasn't. He died in Italy while base jumping

[igask8er]

@algonquinuser he tried a double front flip to base jump but couldnt get his skies off in order to pull the shoot.

[LSESSII]

RIP SHANE!!!.

[720BASE]

keep your negative comments to yourself, you just dont understand what life is about if you think he should have ignored his dreams and stayed childless to pursue them or if he was a father then instantly given up on them, get a life for yourself and stop bringing everybody down with sad, jealous insensitive and plain wrong comments. this guy was a great person, who the hell are you too judge him?

[JaxterBaxters]

RIP shane you were my inspiration

whats the song and it isnt what it says in the video

[tpskier]

he loved skiing and base jumping and died doing it! He died doing what he loved.

[DeltaLemar]

As much as i agree with what you say, try telling his family that..:(

[tpskier]

R.I.P.

[felixhagnell]

Vila i frid, as we say in sweden. As Hempathedirtrider said... u are a legend and will allways be!

[Jacarepaguaaah]

Shane: I lit a candle for you! I was shocked, when your death was announced at the Skicamp in Alaska at PNH. My prayers go out for you and your family. Sleep well and I´m sure we meet another time.

[Jacarepaguaaah]

Yeah, Shane was an awsome guy! Met him personally last year in Portillo/Chili. Good guy, very down to earth, good sense of humour. The story makes me very sad!

[Jinxme29]

This is an awesome tribute<3

He`s soul landed safely! Now he`s sliding on a never ending slope with unlimited number of parachutes and knees! That`s what I believe! That`s the place where good skieers go. And Shane was the best!

We miss you shane. The Olympic Valley will never be the same and you can feel the sadness in the air while at Squaw for the past days.

[skonk]

Aloha! My good friend, Jim Shane, the first extreme skier from ALTA Utah, introduced me to Shane about ten years ago in the bar at the Goldminers Daugther, Alta! Shane will always be, along with Jim Shane, my friends and 'Heros'. By the way, Shane was named after Jim Shane! Shane's dad, Jim, was a very close friend of Jim and Elfriede Shane. RIP - Shane and Jim! Aloha Nui Loa! Skill Johnson, North Shore, Oahu.

[freeskierBALKINS]

We never forget Shane, nice video JSP, nice song..whats the song please ?

[polson3]

RIP shane.
