R.I.P. Shane McConkey (1969 – 2009)

There’s nothing better than sliding down snow, flying through the air…
Shane McConkey

I’m at a loss for words at the moment. Skiing has lost one of it’s greatest icons today as Shane McConkey died today in a ski-base jumping accident in Italy. I feel sick.

Shane, you are a hero to the sport and you will be missed everyday by freeriders all over the world. Thank you for all that you’ve done. You are a legend.
