"The teacher asked us to write some sort of essay on what we would do if we had only a month to live, like if we had aids or something. So here's what i wrote:

The first thing that i'd do is find someone who could take me skydiving, and i'd do that a couple of times.
Then i'd go to Europe to some huge mountain where i could go helicopter skiing in waist high powder.
I'd also go cliff jumping off lots of huge 40' foot cliffs and land it in nice soft powder.
Then somewhere i would get someone to teach me how to hangglide and i'd do that for a while.
There are probably many other things i'd do, but right now i cant think of them and up to my death i would just keep doing fun things.

And then the teacher writes, OK, tell me though, knowing that you don't have aids, would you do all those things anyway?" - Shane McConkey RIP



Im going to live my life as i was the last month of it. Shane, we miss you and you will never be forgotten.

i would start out by doing mushrooms in costa rica, and then go to new zealand to go ride, then i would probably just smoke weed and get drunk the rest of the days. ending on the last day i would try every drug possible

I'd get all morbid and depressed, spending most of the day in bed, and the rest of the day in front of the TV, drapes closed, with a bottle of scotch, crying, and drowning my sorrows.


THEN, if someone proceeded to tell me I didn't in fact have a month to live, and they were lying, I'd beat them to death with the Scotch bottle, and spend the rest of my life in prison.

So did the teacher write "RIP Shane"?  What an awesome teacher.

I would pack up my backpack, get a high limit credit card and travel around the world.

This was a part of what Shane said in "In Deep". He quoted what the teacher wrote on his paper.

Shred some sick mountains out west or in Europe with chill people that I love. Climb some sick/big ass rock or something. Try a hardcore drug. Jump off bridges. Mostly do active stuff and just chill. And I would prob wanna plan my funeral. I don't know why.

Buy a lot of dank weed, shrooms, LSD, mescaline, and DMT.  Do all of them at different times.  Sky dive, wingsuit.  Ski bottomless powder, heli ski.  Tell people what I really think of them.  Write my will.  And to top it all off I would wear a Spiderman suit, put clothes over it, get two cans of silly string, and go to the top of the Empire State building, take off the clothes covering my Spidey costume, and jump off spraying silly string everywhere.  A note would be found on my body that reads: "Damn, the silly string didn't work"
