roner does basically everything, and skiing is only a small part of it.

Not to be a downer or a dick, In my opinion that seemed a little disrespectful. I respect Shane a lot and all that he has done for the sport, but to send his sled off a cliff the same way he died? I wouldnt have done that. And then to sprinkle some of Shane's ashes on it before it went off and say "its just like Peter Pan and pixy dust"???? How about auctioning it off and donating the money to the charity created in his name? I dont know, I just feel like that was not the proper way to do it, but its not my sled, so I guess he can do whatever he wants with it.

I'll post a civil response before the much more hostile members see this post and tear your asshole into a new size unknown to man.

Basically Roner was Shane's fucking boi, they obviously were tight and if anybody was qualified to decide what should be done with that sled it was him. Like you said, he can do whatever he wants with it, and i think in this case, Roner knew that it's what Shane would've wanted considering his past beliefs in regards to sending it.

Idk about the overall idea of it but I thought the pixy dust thing was kinda disrespectful.

I'll try to reserve my asshole-ness here.

of course, I don't know much more about Shane than what I've seen in movies/the media, but I don't think he would have wanted it any other way. look at his attitude and personality... having his ashes spread in the mountains while his good friend is doing the most ludicrous thing possible is the best way to honor him. It would almost be insulting to do it in a reserved or serious way. that just wasn't him. And the pixie dust thing... eh. Roner obviously didn't mean it in any disrespect. I don't see a problem.

Although I'm kind of curious on how he was given Shane's ashes as opposed to the family. I guess they figured roner would be able to do it the best way.

The sled jump, the honor to Shane, all that stuff fine. But seriously, that is a absolutely terrible web series. I've only watched a few but damn it sucks. Acting way too hard. Saying cliche shit for the sake of making noise. Too much time with the nitro guys?
