Except not^ All of those nitro circus guys are friends. Shane defs base jumped with a lot of those guys and I'm sure had many more connections through red bull.

Shane's connections go far and wide. I was watching a documentary on the batman suit in the new movies and Shane was there describing how the wing suits work.

Just because he skied and they don't doesn't make them not friends or acquaintances.

This is what I was thinking,
Maselkela (or whatever) does a lot of action sports announcing and events along with knowing a ton of athletes
Hawk probably knew him through redbull and just overall being the faces of their sports
Pastrana...roner...base jumping...all doing stupid wild crazy shit.

Now thats all speculation but it could mix together

think again. Tonys ex wife lived in CB for a long time and worked with MSI/MSP back in the day I believe. Pretty sure they were quite close...

This movie is going to be amazing and inspiring for generations to come.

Pretty sure Nitro Circus did a tribute to McConkey after the credits on one of their shows.

Can't wait for this. Still hoping that I can host a benefit for Shane's wife and daughter. I will find a way to make that happen.
