read and see for yourself

Welp, its that time of year again. The time when I ask everyone in my

ski

I

im pretty sure its real.... it wasnt sent to a freeider tho.. a lady i know forwarded it to me, she skis in tahoe but isnt like a freerider or anything. she just carves up the packed pow
 
who the fuck do u think u r lowrider101 what did u do all day do fucking acid so now your trying to pick a fight with everyone on ns and if u don't like the site get the fuck out!
 
You guys are all dumb, Shane is a complete clown and any of you taking this seriously are biting his joke real hard.

That's funny.
 
obviously it was a joke people k2 isn't going to drop him are you kidding me with that! he has his own ski devlopment in the works. seriously this is a legend not the average park skier that no one knows about you drop him and people are going to notice.
 
even if it was true, id respect it. relying on a fan base is a respectable, humble point of view, and he sounds like a nice guy.
 
whats the big deal??? if its true or not? I would do the exact same thing! If YOU were in a contest like that, wouldnt you tell people to vote for you?? if you say NO then you're a RETARD....stupid f'n kids.
 
Uh...you guys are idiots, thats a joke, ther is no way he'd loose his sponsers and who wouldn't vote for him anyway?
 
the funniest part of the interview for those you living in the states....

sbc: You're a legend, your sponsors are always happy, and you continually push the sport in new directions. Where's the chink in the armour- surely you're not an utter golden boy?

shane's response: I got wasted in maxx fish in whistler several years ago and lipped off to some dude who immediatly hockey-shirted me and then kneed me in the chest a couple times, breaking my ribs. I got crabs in college once after getting sloppy seconds from the hippie cousin of a friend of mine. I really enjoy picking my nose all the time. I was hands-down the biggest geek at my high school. Since i'm so goddamn great, I tend to be a cocky, arrogant shithead sometimes, and when my wife mouths off I usually have to smack the sense back into her. Other than that, I'm fucking perfect.
 
Shane's awesome. That was funny.

I can see why he might want to remind friends of his to vote for him in the poll. It does help his career.
 
shane is such a funny guy i can see him writing that shit and laughing his ass off...or he was completely wasted
 
mconkey is funny hahahahah black mumbas and mothersday card brilliant hahahaha its good to see there is still so much humour in skiin
 
I forgot to say, i love shanes antics. From Theres something about mcconkey:

Letter to Rob Gaffney's Mother in law (Whom he had never met) about Robs wedding:

"I am Robs gay lover. I will not attend because I disapprove of him marrying a woman. I will also be in South America to get some new breakthrough treatment for my AIDS, which Rob gave me. Please warn your daughter.

-Mr Shane Mcconkey"
