RIP Shane McConkey

RIP he was a true role model and a great skiier my prayers for his family

Man, that is just hard to hear. This headline throws my mood to the ground for today. Rest in peace!

RIP to a true pionner of the ski industry. You changed the way of skiing, you're mission is done. I hope you'll be skiing a lot of powder in heaven. True legend never die, best wishes to the family.

RIP

hard to beleive a life can be taken so quickly, you truely inspired me to live life to its fullest pushing the sport to the extreme!

RIP

My best friend told me on the phone, i thought he was kidding. It's weird to feel so sad about someone you've never met. I'm 24 and been knowin McConkey in videos since i was just a kid, much like most of us on Newschoolers. At 24 i'm always the oldest or close to the oldest guy tossin hard and not 'takin it easy', sometimes i think it's close to over for me. My body is worn, i need a spine fusion in my lower back and have numerous ligament tears. A select one in every couple million guys over 30 inspire me and give me hope and drive for an exciting decade in my 30's. Thanks man. I'm never stoppin. The world needs more guys like you.

This thing is bittersweet. I think the majority of people with sports like this at their hearts feel that other than passing on after a long loved and successful life, that we'd all take a solid second choice of dying doing what we love. Live hard, live free, no regrets. RIP.

RIP mann, you are soo epic

and will be greatly missed by all.

Vibes to the family.

Childhood hero?

I'm 30, and McConkey is still my hero.

My deepest sympathies to his wife and child.

Maybe this is the end of "progression" (going bigger) and the start of "style".

If it can save a little girl her daddy, so be it.

What a friggin' tragedy.

I'm seriously zonked.

RIP my friend.

RIP

The shit you did with basejumping and skiing was insane and I hope someday to try a wing suit out.

it wasn't a new level; it was a new world

Long live hero, but legends never die

RIP
