lil quote from him in case your too lazy to read the article ~ I'm interested in doing things an interesting way,' McConkey says, prior to the Bella Coola trip. 'When I watch ski movies, I don't give a shit about who has the coolest style or who has the most technical progression. I like seeing Jon McMurray do backflips into hedges or crazy stuff on totally bizarre jibs. People don't respect the circus-stunt stuff. That's a common way to think. But, shit. I'll take balls over style any day of the week.'
