CR's death was too much to handle for the week as it is. Don't remind me of another of my hero's death.

I'm with deadbeatz on this one. Somehow, McConkey is mentioned in 9 out of 10 sig's and the MSP segment is top rated, and people praise the tribute done by 60 Minutes, but when someone posts a video related to how he died it's "too much to handle". Bunch of kooks.

And another thing, how come people are only praised and called "heroes" when they die? I'm sure a bunch of people on here actually looked up to McConkey and CR, but now that they're gone it has become all the rage to declare them your "heroes".

There is a difference between paying respect and beating a dead horse, that's all I'm saying.

Shane McConkey's segment in Push is
the reason I bought wide skis
the reason I got a job in a ski shop,
the reason I promised myself to ski at least 2 hours a day,
the reason I decided to push myself that season,
the reason I am the skier I am today.

In short. Go fuck yourself.

Yeah, that's great you look up to him. If you recall, I said I'm sure there are a bunch of people that considered him a hero. But explain to me how this video is too much to handle?

dudes, we should look at this footage and be happy; the guy had a life we can only dream of; he died doing what he loved and he was a hero and inspiration to many!

he wouldn't want the skiing world to remember him as the guy who died while basejumping; he would've want to be remembered as the great man he was!

so kick back and enjoy !

RIP shane!
