it was tough watching his some of his last moments on screen, MSP did a good job paying tribute.

RIP

Should I buy the movie just because it's Shane's final seggy?  I'm really considering it.  Unfortunately I never got around to buying the Powder issue.

i cant quite remember...i think they showed the start of the jump or another jump just insinuating it...but they didnt show the full flow out...that would have been too heartbreaking

they didnt show the actual jump they cut right before it, it would have been too bad to watch but it was still hard to watch and hear the people that were there talk about it...

Yeah man, very touching. My girlfriend doesn't (didn't) know who Shane was so I gave her a brief background about Saucer Boy, his goofball antics, and about him taking a pair of water skis down the mountain. Once his segment led into a different direction, she started crying although wasn't sure why because she doesn't have the connection to the ski life that all of us have. The footage at the end made him seem like the most lovable guy and a person that everyone should surround themselves with. It's a shame that we won't see more Shane in the future, but I feel very fortunate to have a guy like Scott Gaffney throw him in front of the camera and hit record.
