he just jumped off a bridge HOLDING onto somebody with a parachute.

holy shit. i watched that. i was like wtf!
 
hes a nasty nasty skier but his constant parachuting in msps last 2 movies piss me off its cool like twice after that it just makes me want to kill myself
 
shane is in my mind one of the most talented skiers out there. he's done it all, so much so that he finds new areas to push the sport. even if you get tired of seeing him ski off cliffs with a parachute on his back, you gotta send tons of respect toward the guy.
 
the lines hes skis in "hit list" is my favorite in that whole movie, yes you know which line I'm talking about, no gimmicks, straight gnar
 
ok, you all say he is out of his mind, um not, how about the guy he was holding onto, hes the one thats gonna die you fucking morons. shane just has to jerk off enough to have that kung fu grip not to drop the jackass.
 
im kinda still trying to figure out how parachutes belong to skiing in any way, i wanna see a skier hit a 160 foot cliff without killing himself and then ill be impressed. im pretty sure anybody here woul drop a 160 footer with a parachute
 
god damn right he is, the hit list remix i think was so funny when he was giving the other kid terrible advice, shane in the man
 
It was fun in Yearbook but they just show it too much! I haven't seen the movies from this year cause u can't get these movies in Holland:S:S it's so f*cked up!! But do they still do these kind of parachute jumping?? I think it's a bit too ich last season!
 
i agree that he si sick but in like the movie yearbook i found it kinda repative i liked his bonus feature segment alot better in the moviebecause it had some wicked skiingin it.
 
exactly wat i am talking bout once u jump off a mountain like that you cant really progress, well u can jsut huck like 5flips but i dont know i gues beauty is in the eye of the beholer
 
do you realize base jumping is not only dangerous, but also takes skill.What mconkey does is crazy.he is skiing off cliffs flipping and deploying a parachute.

not easy.
 
but ive watched more then my fair share of real tv. and from what ive seen if you dont balence your body, you can get yourself goin way outa control and pass out and stuff
 
^^ hmmm

yeah I guess it is pretty simple

its not like you need to understand weather, aerodynmamics, velocity, alitiude, relationship to surrounding rocks and cliffs, how to deal with malfunctions, how to recover from a deflated wing or a tangle, how to control your speed (you do understand that this takes 1000's of jumps to master), oh yeah and the whole landing thing is kind of tough....and that is all just basic skydiving, now add a saftey window of only a few seconds and an unstable surface such as snow in conjunction with NEVER skied before lines...yeah it sounds pretty damm easy!

It is not like he is jumping out of airplanes here....he is hurling off of cliffs at 40-60 mph in some cases, he needs to clear 100's of feet of distance to avoid rocks, all the time he needs to have everything work perfect or he is dead! not injured, not bomb holed out, but DEAD.....try even side stepping to the edge of a 2000-foot cliff on your skis without crapping your pants....

you may not like how it relates to monkeying around on rails.....but no professional skier denies that what shane is doing is progressive/insane and simply sick!

So yeah....it must be easy, just ski fast and pull the cord, you should try it
 
james bond jumped out of a plane chasing jaws, stole his parachute in mid air, put it on, and landed
 
yeah dont get me wrong hes the man for doing it people who edit msps movies arent for putting it in 45634634632463426346 times
 
one of the special features on the hit list was called "through shanes eyes" and it was helmet cams and follow cams off cliffs n shit...those cliffs are so big i cant imagine going off of one. hes a maniac
