interesting short documentary, interviewing Shane McConkey and others about seeking extreme moment. The last bit is really amazing.

I really want to know what McConkey's epitaph reads on his grave. I sure hope it says "This guy was a good father and husband and had a hell of a lot of fun"

in the middle of watching that, i just got up and rode my bike outside for about 30 minutes (It's about 10 or so at night). Something special about that just wanted to make me get up, off the computer, and feel good.

RIP SHANE

So good. BASE jumping looks like so much fun. And they stole the sound track from seven sunny days wing suit segment...

i really hated how the reporter just said "one of these guys died doing this." and didnt go into detail or anything about who and all that. he made it seem so unimportant.

"Hopefully my epitaph would read: 'This guy was a good father and husband, and he had a hell of a lot of fun.'"

It reads so, so much more than that.
God knows we all miss you Shane.  And we all know you're BASE jumping off of clouds now.
