Holy shit, 39 year old freeskiing legend Shane McConkey died today in a BASE jumping accident while filming with MSP. When we see films with the incredible stunts these guys do I think we become desensitized to just how f’in crazy the shit is that they are doing, and making it look easy. RIP to one of the good guys, and thoughts/prayers/vibes/karma to his wife and kid.
