Shane McConkey

Shane McConkey passed away today, March 26th, 2009, while ski-base jumping in Italy. He was a hero to the sport and to skiers everywhere and the community has suffered a great loss.

I have uploaded this video (his segment from Matchstick Production's Push) in his honor. It is probably my favorite McConkey segment (though there are many).

We love you Shane and you will be missed.

His child will understand that as much as his wife does its a way of life he was free as a bird why would u take his freedom away. His wife said that she would never tell him to stop doing that... she understood and the honour that his child will carey. RESPECT TO U

The quote when he was doing handstands with his baby at 0:43 pisses me off so much. Is it worth being injured all the time? Well clearly not because now your child no longer has a father for the rest of his life. Dumb.
